So, this is it. The start of the rest of my life. I try and not use so clique lines, but in this sense, it’s probably the best way to describe my situation. After six weeks of doing near to nothing but stressing out and playing video games (which is a legitimate pass time, by the way) I finally can start to do more exciting things like…sit at a PC and write a blog? Wait…and sign up for Twitter? Oh…ok then.
While I make it sound like a bad thing, I’m actually enjoying writing this right now. It’s like a personal diary to share to the world. Or at least whoever I let found out about it anyway. The Twitter thing, well, I could be happier as I have never been the one for ‘tweeting’ but I am willing to adapt and change, besides, I have decided to launch an evil plot to became king of Twitter and rule over all the birds at my nest!
Get it? King…oh nevermind.
Bird puns, you have to love them.
Anyway, enough of me ranting about birds and blogs, let me tell you of my first two days in the wonderful city- or is it town…? Anyway; my first two days in Southampton. Upon eventually arriving, after the multiple times of getting lost, I was fortunate to bump into two of my lovely roommates right of the bat. Two seemingly lovely girls, who seemed nice enough. However, you have to be cautious of these things, they could be the devils incarnate…I’m sure they’re fine…right?
After unpacking, a very nervous and forgetful me gently reminded my dearest parents that they would need to, as they say, splash the cash, as I had left my TV at home, like a genius. I would of been okay about this, but unfortunately, TV = monitor for PC. PC = ability to type things. Finally, ability to type = this blog. So yeah, one ASDA and a interesting slushy stand later, I’m alone, in my room thinking about the day to follow. Weirdly enough, I didn’t really feel too upset, more just excited for the days, weeks and even years to come. Then I got a first taste for that the following day.
Now to make the following events seem as hard as they were for me when they occurred, I shall tell you in a manner of such drama, it will leave you in awe:
He, the lowly student, lay his gentle head upon his pile of clouds and nestled into a deep sleep. He dreamt dreams of day’s past, present and even future, luring him further asleep. But then, a loud noise erupted, smacking the peaceful student right in the ears, jutting him awake. In a manic frenzy, the brave student valiantly sat up, swung in a mad circle- trying to eliminate the danger that was present with him. Realising his foe was jittering beside him, singing its battle cry, the student stood, and pulled back…
Uh oh…
It was done…the foul beast slain. Now the brave adventurer could flee, and get ready to fight another day.
So, here I am. The blog, birds and the beast slain. Ready for day two of…
MY LIFE AT UNI.
Sounds epic right?
