Uni @ MindSay

I got a haircut.



I'm as attentive as ever.

So recently there's something about my boobs that have made people stare relentlessly at them. They barely exist so I don't know exactly why they would stare, but they do.

Thursday I was on a bus with some of my friends; they occupied the back row, and I sat in front of them. This hairy old man gets on, passes about 20 free seats, comes to the back and sits next to me, while I was gorging myself on a triple chocolate sundae (yum!). I can only imagine he was senile because he wasn't exactly being very discreet about where he was looking, and I got poked fun of by Ben and Naj, who said he fancied me :( Thank fuck he got off the bus before we did, he might've expected me to climb over his lap to get off. Or get him off. Whichever you fancy.

Yesterday I had these two men sat beside me on the train that were actually leaning over to take a good look, under the pretence that they were checking the map. My coat went straight up, and it didn't help that two other guys were following me on the train.

Aaaand on Wednesday I got hit on on the train. I tried my best to ignore it but this guy kept waving his hand in front of me, and it was getting closer to my face, so I had to say something to make him go away. The hot weather seems to make everyone go crazy!

I went around Naj's place last week to do some revision, and much revision was done in between eating and pissing around talking about random crap. I got bored on one of the mornings and took a load of random pictures to kill some time before I had to leave.





On Thursday I had an exam (which is why I was on a bus. I usually try to avoid buses, they make me sick but there was no other way to get to the venue) which went pretty well. The questions were amazing, but I hadn't done a lot of revision. I'm sure I did well enough to pass the course, but how well I don’t know. I guess it's not a very good sign that I finished a 3 hour exam in half the time. But I wasn't the only one, so either pretty much everyone failed, or it really was that easy. People have been calling me crazy because I've been talking to my lecturer about how the exam went. I felt he had a right to know, he wrote it after all! After the exam we all decided to relax a little so we went to the park. Naj attracted many flies due to her smoking (we assumed), and there were many squirrels around.

Me: I think my trousers are too low, my arse might be hanging out.
Ben: A squirrel might try to get in them.
Me: It’ll find no nuts in there.

I dunno.

Me: Margaret Thatcher's a fucking bitch.
Gav: She’s from Grantham, show some respect.
Me: Margaret Thatcher's a fucking whore.

Oh how I look forward to moving up there…

I was with Gav yesterday, we went to IMAX to watch Speed Racer :D We had some time to kill before the film started so we went to Zavvi, where we took this picture!



Yes, it's awesome, I know. Though he's missing an arm, which is why I was standing where I am. We went Nandos for lunch, and just to prove I do actually eat, Gav took this picture of me:



And I finished all that off :D I feel very piggy all of a sudden.

Anyway, Speed Racer was awesome. But I'm easily impressed with bold colours, fast cars, and action. I didn't grow up on the cartoons so I wouldn’t know how accurate the film is, or if it's only just loosely based on the cartoons. If you can't stand kids films though, don't watch it. Gav hated the brat and his monkey, because they were just pointless. I see his point, but they didn't really irk me.

I have a big week (and a half) ahead of me again. I have another exam on Friday, and I'm going around Ben’s to revise for that three days, and I have to see Gav, and Sina, and sit the exam, and then revise for the next and final exam on Wednesday! Big week and a half. I can't believe I will have finished Uni in a week and a half. I'm really nervous about graduating, and whether or not I’ll pass well enough to actually be able to graduate. It's best not to think about it until after the exams. I'm pretty glad I'm jetting off to Egypt not long after I finish my exams, it'll keep my mind off it. And at least I would have had a good summer even if I do fail :p

I had a fun conversation with Gav yesterday...

Gav: Look at her taste in guys.
Me: It's not just guys.
Gav: Look at her taste in clothes.
Me: It's not just clothes.
Gav: OK, look at her taste.
Me: What taste?
Gav: OK, look at her.
Me: I'd rather not.

Anyway, that’s enough rambling from me. I’ll probably blog in another month or something.

I shan’t go into detail, but I saw Gav today. And we had “fun”. 3 times. Once whilst watching Finding Nemo. Which was a little disturbing, I agree (if that’s what you were thinking). That’s all I’m saying about that.

I don’t really have much to say from the off, though I will probably end up ranting about something or other. Uni deadlines are coming up very soon, and I’m not doing very well in keeping up. I’m sure I’ll be alright though, I always am.

I had an interview for a teaching assistant job two weeks ago, which I think went quite well. They called me last week to check references, which is a good sign. They wouldn’t be checking if they didn’t think I was appropriate for the job, right? At least that’s what I keep telling myself. I need some money for this damned Egypt trip! I’m actually starting to get pretty excited about it. I was talking to Gav about it last night, and how it’d be awesome if he could come, but he can’t.

Things with Gav have been pretty great recently. We had a few arguments some weeks back, or maybe it was in January, but they were nothing major. Except when we almost had it out on the DLR. Seriously, I wanted to hit him and storm off, but I was very aware of the amount of people that were already staring at us as we whispered an argument and didn’t really want to cause a massive scene.

I’ve been seeing a lot of my school friends. We’ve met up twice this month, and seeing as the only people I see socially these days are Gav and Sina, I’d say things look good. We may be meeting again for a little piss-up this week, as we decided to make meeting a weekly thing but I’m not sure what’s going on with that yet.

Lately I’ve been thinking about who my real friends are. The thing with me is that a person usually means more to me than I do to them. So it’s only one friend that I have a slight problem with at the moment. I met Naj at uni, and for the first two years we were really close, we’d meet up for the hell of it and just hang out. This year when we started uni, it was as though she had had enough of me, and replaced me. There’s this girl Moni, who I’ve never really got close to. For some reason whenever I’m with her it just gets very awkward. Anyway, Naj spends a lot of time with Moni and all of her friends these days. Uni started on October, and we’ve only had lunch together after our lesson together once. Maybe it’s because of this that I’ve gotten pretty close to Ben, whom I also met at uni (the first day actually). I’d say I’m as close to him as he is to me, because where I would’ve spent time with Naj I’ve spent it with Ben. The usual checking how each other is, their whereabouts, being together in lessons. Most people at uni think we’re dating, but it doesn’t bother me. Thinking about it now, I’m grateful for people like he and Sina in my life (even after all the shit I went through with Sina) as well as Kay and Hayli, who I hope I keep seeing more of, There are the odd people online, but my inconsistency means that I may get really close to someone, but if they don’t try to keep in contact with me, it’s unlikely we’ll be that close again.

Oh, just to mention briefly, I made a little “comeback” to AWFF, following a conversation with Darryl about inactivity. Let’s see if I can help his cause.

Anyway, enough rambling from me, I’ve decided I have nothing left to say :p

We (Ricky, Emma and myself) have been looking for houses in Hatfield for the past week or so, and one came up yesterday - a 5 bedroom place, about 15 minute walk for the uni, £290 a month.

The best part is the guy who owns it said he'd reduce it to £255 a month if only three people were to move into it. That would be us then.

So we went to check it out last night and we loved it. The kitchen was lovely, had a little back garden, and not one of the bedrooms were boxes. So we decided we'd take it. Ricky would go in to the letting people this morning and sign up for it as it was too late to do it last night,

What happened? Someone signed up for it 5 minutes before closing time last night. :(

Hi.

Bee's birthday party was rather awesome, much fun was had. Was great seeing the likes of Charlie, Charlie and Bee herself again, plus the usuals like Christine (complete with the maple-leaf necklace I got her for Christmas), Ricky and Emma. Many photos were taken, and alcohol was drank. It happens. But more importantly, I had a fun night, and so did everyone else.

It'll suck arse when they all have to leave uni though.

I've taken the day off work due to the majority of the M1 to Luton being shut because a lorry decided to turn over. Thing is, my parents don't know this, as they'd more than likely nag at me for using this as an excuse to use up my first holiday day of the year. So instead I'm in the uni LRC. Oh, safe haven.

I'm using the decent internet connection here to download Ragnarok Online (dun-dun-duuuuun) as my connection at home isn't strong enough for me to download the file. So by downloading it here (and then transferring it to my laptop via a 2Gb memory stick I haven't actually got yet) I save four hours of download time. Win.

What's worse is, once I do get a decent connection and computer, I'll more than likely find myself playing World Of Warcraft. *hides*

Tonight will mean Bee's birthday party, which I'm still not sure if I'm going to or not cause I haven't heard from Ricky or Emma yet - they were meant to be picking me up a ticket. They're usually reliable enough though so I'll probably show up at Emma's house tonight assuming they've bought me a ticket. This'll also mean my first night out in Christine's company since the Canadians left, although judging by the way things went between us last time I saw her, that shouldn't be a problem.

It turns out there's not enough disk space on this computer to hold RO's 1.67Gb install file. Great. I'm off to buy me a 2Gb memory stick.
