I couldn’t get myself to sleep until 2 o’clock this morning. I was forcing my brain to completely shut down and rest just so I could have so much energy to get everything done for today. When I woke up this morning, my head was pounding, mainly due to lack of sleep and loads of thinking (for the reasons to be explained later on this post) . =/
Timetables were released 8 o’clock this morning and I went to the business campus as early as I could to avoid being held up on a long que. “If you arrived late, you have less chance to get in to your first lecture (if you have one at 9am) because there will be hundreds of other students who will be collecting their individual timetables as well” warns the course administrator the other day. There was a handful of early birds like me when I arrived in the refrectory room down in the basement.

I had my timetable earlier that what I was expecting and was surprised that my first lecture for this day -Monday- is at 2pm. I have 5 free hours to get other things done before my first lecture starts.
It means:
1) I can go back to my flat and re-write the most confusing timetable I have ever seen in my entire life (which is unplanned btw)
2) Go to the shops and get drinking water, vinegar and flour
3) Go to the reception and ask for my mailbox key so I can check my letter mails and check if my parcel from my loving parents has arrived.
4)Put my clothes in the wash
5)Vacuum my room
6)Book a train ticket back to Wales
7) etc etc etc

Before writing anything else, one of the reasons I probably couldn’t get myself to sleep last night is that I couldn’t, really couldn’t wait to see my timetable. When I was re-writing it this morning, I checked on week 5. Which is supposed to be a week off but unfortunately and shockingly IS NOT. I was so effin’ mad and upset because my plan number 6) was ruined. It means even if I really really want to go back home next month, there is just no chance, AT ALL, that it is going to happen.
I can’t do anything but to just deal with it and make it as one of my ‘watebur’ moments in this life.

Moving on, I was happy and excited because I got my parcel from my Dad and Mom which includes all these essential things that I supposed I will be needing to cope with this new life I am having.

In the box were:

-Knives
-Cutleries
-Chopping board
-Rice Cooker
-Printer
-Wok
-Detergent Powder
-etc etc etc

and the most important one:

ta dah!!!

WATER FILTER. It means I don’t have to go to shops to get myself a 5 litre drinking water and bring it all the way to my flat. Which is yeah, you got that right, REALLY HEAVY. lol

After doing most of the things on my to-do-list I got myself ready for my first lecture.
Walking down the street, crossing the road on my way to Clephan Building, I was nearly killed by this car (of course being driven by a stupid driver) approaching towards me. I freaked out and almost had a heart attack. Blimey! I still want to see what’s University Life is really like; run over me as much as you want; but not yet. Phuleez! Not yet.

My first lecture was FUN. Funny module tutor, complicated subject, a room full of different students from across the globe and new found friends. What more can I ask for. (VACATION PLEASE.) lol
The second lecture was BORING.

And the third and last one (for today only) was Oh-goodness-I-don’t-think-I-can-do-this type of lecture.

Anyway I couldn’t complain more. I’m just thankful that I am now back here in my flat, peaceful-ish and relaxing-ish. I was so tired from what I’ve done today. And still I have this overflowing to-do-list, as always, that I need, really need, to finish as soon as possible.

More updates if I have time.
Laterzzzz. =)

Have you ever tried doing something that you’re not really interested at then just suddenly liking it so much at the end??? >>> I have.

I was looking for an old Maths book inside this big box in my bedroom and saw this little glowy pocket book at the bottom of the box.
THE OTHER WOMAN – JANE GREEN it says on the front cover. The title caught my interest and I said, ‘why not give it ago’. Before actually reading the book, I told myself that if I didn’t like the very first page of it, I am not even going to waste my time reading the next page. I did even assure myself that I am never ever going to finish reading that book – because I only read books, newspapers etc if its really necessary to do so. E.g Revision

And so I started reading the book and I was completely wrong. I absolutely loved it and end up reading the whole book in less than two weeks: it’s about 400+ pages. And so as soon as I finished reading the book, I went to look and search information about who really JANE GREEN is.
Her novels truly are captivating and will really keep you entertained to the last page.

She is -so far- my favorite author of all time. At the moment I am reading another novel written by her called SECOND CHANCE.

And again, it’s a must read novel. I am telling you.

I went to amazon a couple of days ago and bought 3 other novels written by her which I am really looking forward to start reading.

JANE GREEN, I SALUTE YOU!

‘There’s nothing to look forward to today’ I told myself as soon as I hit the alarm button this morning, so I decided to spent an extra hour in bed. This whole University thing -you must prolly say I am the saddest person in this world- is not making me feel so excited AT ALL.

I woke up, ate my breakfast, took a shower and went to the business building to attend a talk. It was about the Introduction to E-learning. The BLACKBOARD system, which allows access by students to learning material from any computer at any time. It was pretty useful I must say. Then we had our meeting with our personal tutor which was indeed very short but helpful.

I went back to my study room straight after the meeting. Went to the kitchen and realized that I need drinking water and food items in order for me to – survive –. And so I went to the shop. Tesco, which is my favorite supermakert is like an hour away from here so I went to Iceland grocery store instead. When I went inside, I told myself, ‘this is going to be tough’.  Tough not becuase I am going to shop food for myself but actually because I am not in TESCO -where all my needs are. Ugh. I spent like almost an hour wandering inside the store, looking for healthy, easy-to-cook  and of course cheap grocery items. I managed to get all the food items that I needed at the end. I was on my way to the checkout when suddenly a light bulb appeared up above my head . ’Ting’    Cheese! ”I need cheese” I told myself. I was supposed to buy this whole chunk of mature cheddar cheese but realized that I don’t have a cheese grater and so I just took a packet of grated mature cheddar cheese instead. This girl next to me was buying the same thing as well but don’t actually know what to get. She then asked me ”what is the difference between these two ” Apologizing at the same time and pointing two packets of grated cheese: one saying full fat cheese and the other half fat cheese. I looked at her with complete amazement and answered ”I think that half fat cheese contains fewer calories and has got fewer fat content that the full fat cheese” .  And then she replied laughing ”You mean to say that this one (pointing the full fat cheese packet) is going to make me fat?!”  .  I don’t know what to actually tell her after she just said that and so I just told her to go for the half fat one. 

She is on the same boat as I am. We had a short chat. She is, like me, living on her own and don’t know anyone from around here. She looked so innocent, so afraid, worried and sort of like a I-am-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here- type of woman. She told me as well that she is having such a hard time shopping food for herself, which is something that I am really expert at .  It’s just a shame that I didn’t get the chance to ask her name and number. =/

I went back to the flat thinking and telling myself that I am not the only person having trouble settling down with all these things.  It is hard and quite tough I must say but this is just the beginning. I will get used to this SOON.

I am now an official student of De Montfort Univeristy.
The enrolment session was held this afternoon and I must say, the number of male students doing Accounting and Finance is twice as many as the female students. It didn’t take so long to register myself because the four page form that was given to us was already almost completed by the Faculty, all that we really needed to do is to sign it and hand it in to one of the Faculty Members.

I am going to the LADIES PARTY NIGHT tonight and just basically get smashed!
That’s what the FRESHER’S WEEK is all about anyway. DRINK. MEET NEW PEOPLE. PARTY. GET SMASHED.

laterz!!!!!
