Second week back at university, and it's been a busy one!
This Monday evening I went to my very first "social" with Concrete, my university newspaper society. After handing in my first official article for publishing last week, I felt I was fully entitled to part-ay with the team that I am supposedly working with. The theme was "Pen Party" which basically felt like end-of-school-takes-on-Norwich. Donning my £2.50 Primark t-shirt, I took to UEA's Blue Bar like a goldfish to water and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening, happily vandalising peoples' white t-shirts with witty (or at least a drunken me thought so) graffitti! Woke up the next day with some interesting things on my shirt, but the highlight of the evening? The fact I got to go out and really get to know my new housemate, Grace, who is really really lovely :)
Yesterday morning was a lazy one, and I ALMOST died of boredom in my 3hour seminar BUT on the way home - with a cheeky trip to the local chippie- I bumped into a guy from my boyfriend's secondary school. VERY random. I recognised him of course, but he knew my name and everything and it felt rude to ignore this kind attempt at conversation. Walking the same way home, I invited him in to eat his chips at mine, and me, him and Grace ended up all chatting for OVER 3 HOURS!! A very unusual way to spend the evening I must say!
Today has been lazy but for a quick cycle into uni for a Careers talk (just in case PGCE stuff falls through). Signed up for a 4week programme in feb, so that should be good, and of course made me feel like I was doing something useful towards getting myself employed after uni. Moreover, when I returned home and trawled the "gttr" site, I discovered that my ideal university of choice has said I am to come to them for an interview in 2weeks!! It is such a relief that I have heard positive feedback., but of course now I have realised this is only the beginning of the stress!
HOWEVER, this does mean that I can spend some girly time planning an interview outfit! Haha! Managed to buy a black dress recently from Dorothy Perkins which I think will be suitable, but thinking a cardigan or jacket of a different colour will be needed on top... Any suggestions welcome! :)
The rest of this week is also looking fairly busy! Am getting a lift out to a Network (18-25year olds wanting to stay in the Scouting Network) meeting/games evening tomorrow, which will be my first meeting, but hopefully they will all be welcoming! AND I've signed up for Ballet (probs gonna completely regret this but I will keep you informed!!) for Saturday!
After such a dismal last semester where I was literally inside working for the whole time, I am eager to keep active, busy and go out more socially this term. After all- it's the final one!
Much love xxxx
