Eh, I feel bad that my first LJ post in ages is just for this, but...help ( Read more... )

I'm at home in Kenilworth! I knew I was really looking forward to this, but I didn't realise just how nice it would be to come home. That said, I'm trying to make the most of being here and spending time with my family, so I'm trying to avoid the computer, on the whole (will have to catch up on Monday). However, I thought I'd be a little cheeky and ( Read more... )

Eeh, it's quiet around here tonight. I think I might be the only one of the twelve on our corridor that's acutally in--which means that I can play tenipuri music at a decent volume without feeling guilty :D. And I've finally dared to flick the switch labelled 'wall fire', so it's nice and toasty in here (although I'm slightly disturbed by the smell ( Read more... )

Well, today was the first day of classes! The long awaited day :P. We were split into our language classes first thing (slightly disappointed that I'm not in the same groups as any of the people I made friends with last week), and I had a language class almost immediately afterwards. It turns out that Group A has all early classes: I don't start ( Read more... )

Just got from the Ranmoor pub quiz--in which our team, the pints of the round table, got a whopping 41/50, I might add--and am just having a cup of tea and reviewing my hiragana and katakana before the test tomorrow. It's strange to think that I've been here for a week; I've met so many new people and had so many new experiences...and have probably ( Read more... )

Just got back from Japan Fest :D. I'm glad I went; the atmosphere was really great, I had fun, and I got to meet lots of new people as well as chatting to a few I already knew. There were also some adorable Japanese guys there XD. Those that I've met really are very sweet and courteous (and shy!), particularly in comparison to British guys ♥. So ( Read more... )

Well, despite my fears I survived last night's event, although I certainly can't dispute the appropriateness of Freshers' Mania as it's title ^^;. To summarise: there were lots of spectacularly drunk people; my corridor mates decided to use the mens' toilets because there was less of a queue; the floor in the octagon was so tacky I'm surprised I ( Read more... )

So, I'm finally here in Sheffield! :D I arrived on Saturday but (shock horror) I didn't get connected to the internet until Tuesday morning...which was, of course, the soonest I could, because I'm an interenet geek XD. But I haven't had a chance to get online until now. Who knew this freshers business would be so hectic? *dies* It's pretty manic ( Read more... )

Oh geez *head spins*. Apologies in advance for the rant-ish post, but I just need to vent about why the hell student finance and student accounts and bloody student possessions insurance are so goddamn complicated! Restraining myself went to hell after more letters and phone calls this morning, you see -_-;. Gyah, the annoying thing is that I ( Read more... )

Well, I've not been very active on here lately, have I? It seems that I have a terrible habit: whenever I'm forced to stop posting for awhile--in this case due to going on holiday--I then forget to start posting again when I'm able. Although I often make spammish and random posts, after a break fom LJ I feel like I should have something worthwhile ( Read more... )
