Greetings from afar! I have decided we need to bring back the blog in all it's glory, so I have resurrected it.
How are we all? I thought I'd give you an update of what's been happening since September and I'm hoping that some brave soul will follow suit.
So, Nottingham's great! Awesome city, I'm loving wondering around in my lunch break and stumbling across great parks, buildings, chill-out spots and shops! It actually makes me want to go shopping?!? which is bizarre as usually I can't stand shopping or being in town for more than an hour, but here I find myself wanting to stay in the city centre for ages and have the money to buy that THING that looks COOL but has no practical use whatsoever. You should all come! Look how cool it is! I promise I won't take you shopping.
...and what looks like a puppet massacre in the workshop...
... We've even got some headless puppets hanging from a rope so we can cover them in PVA...
It doesn't look creepy at all..
Freshers' week was... *insert word here*. The reason I say that is because (I'm sure you'll all know having done freshers' week before) that it's hard to sum up in one word. For me it was a mix of feeling happy, excited, nervous, lost, joyful, curious, cautious, down, anxious, confident, content, cheerful, lost (geographically), feeling at home, wanting to go home, wanting to explore everything and wanting my course to start so the late nights could stop.
So all in all I would say that it was good, but I can now safely say I'm not a massive fan of clubbing. Which always gets you a "you're weird" look from people, especially when they discover that you don't really drink either. I had a conversation with a uni rep, which went something like this:
"So are you coming out tonight?"
"No, not tonight."
"Oh, having a chilled one?"
"Yeah, something like that."
"Are you coming out tomorrow night?"
"No."
"Oh..." *Pauses for a sec, then walks away*
It just makes you feel a bit alienated sometimes, but actually having said that, my flatmates have been lovely, I couldn't have wished for a better flat. There are 10 of us all together, 6 girls and 4 boys. Most of them are southerners bleeerrgh, but they're still people and that's what matters. Here's a picture of them semi-dancing in the kitchen.
I've been trying out archery too! We're in Nottingham, so you've got to! I got near the middle bit and took a picture so you would believe me..
I'll beat Robin Hood in no time!
That's about it from me, but please do comment, rant, moan, request, suggest, or splat on this blog. It can be big, it can be small, it can be fat, thin, reflective, funny, serious, none, any or all of the above, we just need to use it peeps! :D
If you don't know what to write or are feeling the uni blues, just listen to Sam :)
Love from Sherwood x
