University and Stuff

So it's coming to the end of my second week at uni now, so I'm past the worst of the homesickness. There are still days when I wake up and want nothing more than my family, my own bed and my old friends, but I'm convinced I will always have days like that. Today was one of them, in fact

My course has been great so far. It's interesting, and I'm going to learn so much from it. Seminars are fun and a great way of meeting new people! I don't have any friends yet - or at least, not what I would consider friends. You know, people you can hang out with on a regular basis, someone you can talk to and feel comfortable in their presence. Who knows, some of these people I vaguely know from classes might turn into my closest friends.

I managed to hit the guy in front of me in my lecture yesterday - in an attempt to take note of what the lecturer was saying, my pen flew out of my hand and hit the rather good-looking guy in front. And the rather good-looking guy turned out to be a member of the Drama society I went along to tonight, so that was interesting. Luckily, he didn't seem to remember the incident in the lecture.

My flat mates, well, I'm not so keen on them. We got along for the first few nights, but after that, things just kind of ... stopped. Now I never see them - I'm up and about during the day and usually knackered and falling asleep by night, while they sleep the daylight away, or sit in the kitchen complaining about hangovers. I know, I know, I'm a fresher. I'm *supposed* to be more like them. It doesn't make up for the fact that I was woken up by them at ten to four in the morning when they wandered in, drunk out of their minds. Or the fact that when I went to get some food out of the freezer today that some of the stuff I had bought was missing. So I've taken to calling them the Flat Bastards.

I feel really out of place here. I went out drinking with some of the people I met at the Drama society, and ended up standing there like a spare piece of furniture. We've been here a week and half, yet somehow, people seem to be close and best friends already. I've never felt more on my own.

But who knows how things will have changed by this time next week. It's a case of settling in and getting on with it, I think. But so far, I've got very mixed feelings about my time at uni.
