Ok so this is the first draft of an idea I'm trying... :)

It needs a final panel, but I'm feeling uninspired. And the quality will improve drastically when I can afford the software this is made in. For now I'm having to print-screen everything. SO TEDIOUS! :)

Plymouth - Days one to four

So for those of you who manged to not be aware, Sunday was my first day in Plymouth. I decided to document the events of the day, and what's happened since, for interested family/friends, and so I always remember it.

For those of you that are friends with me on Facebook, you could probably tell I wasn't exactly eager to get to uni. Here are some of the statuses I posted on the Saturday whilst packing:

Theres a dead spider in my room. I'm fairly certain he'd have wanted a funeral. It's going to take weeks to find his family and organise it all. Can't go to uni. Sorry guys. · at 15:48

On the way to uni (still allergic) - does anyone else find those "Thank you for driving carefully" signs annoying presumptuous? · at 21:28

So you can probably tell it wasn't exactly an exciting idea for me. 

Sunday started around 10am with us being rudely kicked out of the caravan park - and driving away with bits of the motor home dragging along the floor, as concerned drivers tried to signal us. Then after a 20 minute parking ordeal, and an equally long queue, I made it to my room :)

It's pretty sexy really, I've seen a lot worse. And the bathroom is huuuuge :)


The next day I picked up some of the sexiest posters you'll ever see, plus a printer (that I realised I had no paper for) and some blu tack and pins to make a pretty Fwend Collage :) I was feeling pretty good, my room felt more home-y. Have a gander :P

If you're on here, it means you're important :)

Other than that it's been a fairly ok time, besides the lack of hot water in the flat, and the Sambuca incident... First night meeting everyone on my course, quite enjoying myself chatting away and BAM purple Sambuca and lemonade all over my lap, the table, and several people's bags. I was pretty tempted to just call it a night there and then, I mean, they definitely had something to remember me by now. God I hate my clumsiness...
Buuut the people on my floor are cool, and tomorrow is attempt two at not looking like a dick in front of Psych students, so wish me luck aha xD

My Observations - Things I have learned this month.

So it's been a random sort of month. My trip to Bristol that I had hoped would inspire me, although enjoyable, didn't spark anything... Although, Simon did hack into a Tesco's display laptop, connect it to the internet and use it to get pictures onto a USB so we could print it at one of those machines. I honestly thought we were going to get arrested haha. But other than that, not a lot has been happening. I missed a happy pill, went crazy and dumped Paul? Not my proudest moment, but I'm doing everything I can to get him back, because I do love the guy, so... we'll see what happens there.

Buut if I don't patch things up with Paul, I will be moving out of Blandford permanently, due to a lack of places to live, which is scary... O.o

But anyway, on with what I've learned...

1. Never miss a happy pill.

Literally. It makes you go crazy. If you are unlucky enough to be on them, like me, take them regularly! The girls reading I'm sure can think of examples where they have made bad decisions because of a period, well take that, and times it by a million. Not fun.

2. It's a good thing life isn't like LA Noire.

Imagine walking down an alleyway and your whole body vibrating every time you walk past an empty bottle. That being said, it's an amazing game, and I would thoroughly recommend it.

3. Scrubs Med School must be hypnotic or something.

On paper, it's an awful idea. Scrubs without the Janitor? There's hardly any JD, Elliot appears in like two episodes and Carla is completely gone, and rarely mentioned... The main character is probably the most annoying girl ever created, and this is only amplified by her obsession with horses. But for some reason I have watched the entire series back to back probably about five or six times now. I love Cole, how he's so hilariously stupid, and calls "pizza" "za." I love Drew and Denise, they're the new Cox and Jordan, oh and I love when they pretend not to understand the Australian girl. So the first time I watched it, I though, what the fuck is this shit?! Now, I'd rather watch season nine more than any of the others. I feel like a traitor.. This must be what people who liked The Phantom Menace felt like...

 

4. You never realize how much someone means to you until you lose them

AND

5. You never realize how many people actually care about you until something bad happens to you.

6. I wish my name was Bufty Rolls-Royce

7. The old ladies that come into Julian Graves look at you funny if you're wearing a Star of David, and you get that special treatment that only those fearful of appearing racist can deliver ;)
