Crap, I've done it again. Last time I said I'd keep up with my blogs, and I have not. Quite epically. 11 months I make it since that last one, and Christ a lot has happened. Well let's start with the biggest thing; I got into uni. Yeah I know right? I was surprised/pleased too. Well, 3 marks off my original choice of Oxford Brookes meaning I go to Bath Spa instead wasn't so bad. I prefer it here, something about Oxford in general I find is a bit overwhelming. I'm not usually happy when I'm there. Bath is different. It looks like Cheltenham, but then is completely different where I live now. Funny story about that actually, as I couldn't get into halls, I was thrown together with these 4 other people in the same situation as me trying to find a house. So we found one and boom, put down a deposit. I like them quite a lot; Lewis, Rhys, Polly and Becky. From the stories I've heard off other students, they could have been really bad. Many, many drinking nights have been had with these 4 and other pals we've collected along the way, which have been interesting to say the least.
I'm studying History and Sociology, which are quite interesting, especially the latter. Lots of angry feelings I had whilst I was at my last job about society and the people we integrate with have been sorted; being stuck on a till most of the time at the expense of your friend who got you the job can get a bit annoying. Especially with some of the people I had to deal with. But I'm not there anymore, because apparently I said I was never to return to that god awful place, so finding another job has been another side quest in my adventure. I chose American history as my second module, and it's amazing. the lecturer, this awesome Scottish bloke, is one of the best teachers I've ever listened to. He knows his stuff and isn't all in your face about it. He's also shared some rather funny student/drinking relates stories as well which is always a joy :) But seriously, I feel I better understand America now, rather than what the media and friends' views have on it, to say the least. The good thing about uni is that it has taught me a lot about life in general really. There was a lot of growing up that had to be done in the first term, and I think it has made me a better, more rounded human being (not physically mind as I'm on a student budget). Which comes onto the last bit; I joined American Football. Yeah, that's crazy, I didn't get it at first but now I do and it's quite fun. It's also kept me in shape too, which is a bonus. I've met some great guys on the team, who've helped me reach and accomplish goals I didn't think I could have before. One downside though has been that, although to be fair Sunday is one of the only days we can train, it messes up time I could see my Mum or girlfriend who's in Worcester Uni. I have Fridays off too which is great and I could spend longer away, but football prevents that as I feel I have an obligation to the team. There's also the sealed knot society which looked great, Civil war reenactments and stuff which is cool. But I feel like I'd be abandoning the team if I went off and did something else, which could clash with the training. I dunno, I'll figure something out.
There's loads of stuff I could talk about now, like more video game reviews (not that anyone is reading them anymore, though I haven't really done many) and personal shit that I could talk about on here, right now. But I'll leave it there for now, and write tomorrow about other things, as my neck is now hurting. BYE!
