Sorry I'm late

I'm having far too much fun with the crazy colours and shit.

Okay, for those who don't know me, I am Mina. I am probably the only one who drinks regularly and most likely the one who swears the most. I'm also terrible at writing and this will probably undergo at least 4 drafts. I'm studying Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield.

Now that that's over, I'm going to do my best to update you all regularly. I know I said I'd do something by the end of freshers' week and I'm now into the second week of real university, but what can I say? Life is full of disappointment. This blog will mainly be used for random diary updates I think, with the occasional rant, embarrassing photo, and art work. Lucky you. I bet you can't wait.

FRESHERS'

Fuck yeah, that was fun. Well, fun for a while and then I got flu towards the end. Luckily, I'm not prone to hangovers so I didn't murder anyone. My flatmates are all pretty cool. We went out a lot to bars and clubs and stuff, stayed in and got to know each other, raided other flats and said hi.. I took a passive role in all the socialising but I think I've made a few friends. We also have a little ritual of making a pot of tea, so it's not all drunken antics. Because I'm from Sheffield, I showed them around town. The international market was on and there was a live band and it was sunny. It gave an extremely good first impression of Sheffield which I'm sure will disappoint them later.

There are 4 guys and 3 girls in our flat, including me (if I count as a girl). The last girl didn't show up for some mysterious reason. We also adopted another guy into our flat, he's here all the time cos his flat is a bit boring and we're all amazing. Everything was remarkably comfortable after the first day. It's like a little family already. Bevan visited and they were all very nice to him.

Registering for my course, the introductory lectures, disability shiz and student finance have all gone smoothly, which is a blessing. It usually fucks up. Still waiting for a massive fuck up.

WEEK 1

The first real uni week, our first real lectures, wearing lab coats and doing experiments on real embryos (fish ones but still). I'm still waiting to feel the break into the real world: excitement, amazement, fear... anything? Nope, it feels normal. Like school but better. I do nothing on most Wednesdays and I get to sleep in and go home early some days, which is great! 

As I predicted, the great first impression was ruined because of the rain on Monday. So were my clothes that day. My new uni hoodie was soaked right through which made my arms wet. Whyyyyy? I didn't know that was possible. I think I preferred the sun...

One of the best things I've had so far is free Domino's pizza vouchers. Mmmmm... delicious noms... There are also noodles in the union.

I've joined the Anime Society - shit stuff on Monday, good stuff on Thursday. And I did Archery on Friday! Definitely joining that. I felt like a badass. Also going to join Art Soc and maybe be a journalist for the uni paper (haha, writing skills) but I'll see if I have time.

Continuing on in true Chemistry lesson style, I am often 5 or 10 minutes late at the start of the day. I have yet to beat the half an hour late start from Ms Bates' class in A2 though.

Update: my hair is now blue.

And this is my room, I sorta tidied up for this:

P.S. Does the fact that the spell check is American annoy anyone else?
