I'm waiting for the laundry...

...so I have twenty-five minutes to kill. Blog time.

I made a to-do list this morning. I'm pretty sure I've never made a to-do list in my life, not counting marking down homework in a planner. I mean a list of actual non-education related things I have to do now that I have no slaves.... I mean parents!... to do it for me. Like buy toothpaste. And do the laundry.

I'm still coming to terms with things like this. Sure, I get fed, but aside from that I'm mostly in charge of myself and it's a lot tougher than I originally thought it would be. And I just remembered I didn't put my bathmat in to be washed with the rest of the stuff goddammit!

I notice I've been using the phrase "Live and Learn" a lot recently. Like once every sodding hour. Every time I forget to do something obvious usually.

Let's switch to a less sore subject. My course has officially begun now, but has yet to get into full swing. I've had a full week of lectures, (friday was a nightmare. Six lectures. SIX) but extra things like practicals and tutorials don't start till tomorrow. I've been asked the question what do we call work that's set outside of lectures? Homework? Somehow that doesn't seem right. I haven't fallen behind with anything just yet, but I'm sure the panic will set in soon.

I went to bed at 2 in the morning last night, and got up at 12:30. That's another thing I have never done before in my life, but I would say I had good reason. We were watching Grease. And the Incredibles. (Such a good movie!) Halfway through, we received a knock at the door. Thinking it was one of our corridor mates, we told them to come in. No one answered. Nervous glances were exchanged. Then, an incredibly drunk guy with no trousers on (yes, really) stumbled into the room. The conversation that ensued had this marvellous moment...

Us: Listen to us. Just stay still and listen for a second, this isn't your room. Look, you have to leave, this isn't your room!
(Long pause)
Him: Hey.....I don't..... think....... this is my room....

Yeah.

Enough from me, I gotta go check the laundry. I'm doing it in a friends accommodation block, because they have bigger machines, the lucky bastards.

Until next time.
