Phew, well almost to the end of another University year, and to make it truly scary, almost to the end of my term at University altogether. Finals are in a couple of months and almost all my assignments are in and marked, just one left.
And so with all this behind me, I feel that I am a qualified person to comment on University life. Now I know that some people in America and other countries read this, and some of my language is very English, but I feel sure that University life is pretty much the same around the world and so I shall dispense my advice.
University is an interesting creature. At the beginning it is likely that you know absolutely no one. When I started, I was a few weeks late and knew no one, my room which I had reserved had been given away to a girl called Rosanna, and the accommodation office thought that I may be sharing my room. This came as quite a shock when my room turned out to be tiny and with only one bed. Accommodation seemed quite surprised that no one had tried to get in bed with me. So that was my room for my first year, directly opposite Rosanna’s room.
But do not worry, friends get made and pints get drunk and students get leery. Its all good fun, and then the finals are approaching and it all gets scary. There are elections to decide on who gets to be a sabbatical. All this in the final year. So much to cope with. Then there are the money troubles. Oh yeah. Not much in the way of scholarships in England and so money comes from the state (begrudgingly) and from bank overdrafts and loans.
But hey, I have tons of photos of all my years, most of which are on my homepage for everyones viewing pleasure. There’s also the many stories to recount, which would probably be much more interesting on here. I could tell stories of stalkers, and my ability to be in at least 2 places at once. Or Steve’s drunken mistake at drinking apple shampoo because he had a dry throat.
You can almost sense the teary eyed-ness of this Rant, can’t you ?? hehehe
