One down, four to go (years at uni)

How this year differs from last year.

Not seeing my group (love you, guys!) nearly every day. You are the square peg for my square hole. I miss how we could talk about life things, newsy things, political things, and gossipy things, as well as random things like "what's the difference between ice cream and gelato?" and "why can't you eat uncooked poultry?"

I miss doodling in Bitchy Green, Spiteful Red, Faithful Black et alii. I miss crosswords in the quad, coffee at GJs, visits to the vending machine, and even the stupid Sock Blenders.

I miss staying up all night at sleepovers and not knowing what day it was anymore. Playing Taboo until we went all the way around and the cards started repeating. Trying to play Ker-plunk quietly so as not to wake Ky's parents. Being impressed by Johanna's cheesecake, her mum's chicken and her dad's pancakes.

See how nostalgic I am?

Being totally irresponsible and skipping uni whenever I didn't feel like going. I only jigged once in six years of high school. It was double English. Fair enough?

Discovering that I can't get 98% in exams without going to lectures, reading the textbook, or listening in tutorials.

Being single for the first time ever. It wasn't too bad actually.

Guys. They're everywhere , but I'm used to them now. They tend to bag you out a lot, but not in a bitchy way like girls do.

Finally getting a bank card resulted in me blowing way too much money on yarn. We're looking at four digits here.

Got my licence and can now do 18+ stuff. Have not been to the casino yet.

Have been knitting like a demon - much much more than last year. I think this is something to do with being single and having more time and energy for myself.

(end of list)


Had a nasty experience on the train today. I freaked out at first, but settled down after talking to Brewin. He is awesome. If you want to know what happened, ask me in private. Jus' so randoms don't read my blog and snigger at me.
