My life on standby

It’s been well ages since I blogged. So let’s do a day by day break down.

Saturday (16th)
Wendy House. Moved my stuff in to Ellerslie during the day and then went home for a BBQ. Finished it off at Wendy House. Left around 2 and ended up getting to bed at 4:30. Fun night.

Sunday (17th)
Welcome party, met a lot of my housemates, spent some time in The Terrace. I’ve already blogged about this day too looking back at it.

Monday (18th)
Intro party. Was fun, I went down and spent most of the time hanging out in Stylus’s Kissdafunk room as they were remixing rock stuff into dance tunes whereas the indie room was a little too indie for my taste. I felt really ill about 1ish though and had to leave, spent some more of the night talking to my housemates.

Tuesday (19th)
Went to Tunnel Club with Rich and saw Dead Disco which is an indie rock chick band who were good.

Wednesday (20th)
Spent the daytime at the societies fair recruiting for film making soc. Went to School Disco with Michelle, that was lots of fun. I got well wasted though.

Thursday (21st)
I had to be up at 8am for ISS VSA training which given I went to bed at 4am and was drunk it really knocked me out of it. Afterwards I spent a bit of time in the Llama before going to the second year introductory meeting and heading off to work to do a close, I was so tired by then, it wasn’t fun. Although probably worth it overall.

Friday (22nd)
Woke up feeling terrible in the morning from some kind of illness, maybe freshers flu. Almost phoned in sick but it was a close shift so I dragged my ass in and just took loads of paracetamol. I started feeling a little better at about 11ish so it wasn’t too bad. It took us till 3 to do the close though, Charlotte was doing dining area close till 1:50 and front counter took longer than anyone so myself and Neil did kitchen close and dive (a 3 person job) between us before front counter had finished! That is why we are on “the team” and the others aren’t.

Saturday (23rd)
Went down to Crossgates in the morning to try and get myself an X-Box. Couldn’t get one but I did find Dark Forces for the Playstation which I was well pleased about as I didn’t know it was released on anything other than PC. The walk took it out of me and I started feeling ill again though.

I had a 3:45-9 shift at work which was the most mental night shift I have ever worked. 3 people had called in sick and 2 of them were on the closing team so despite Danny drafting more people in they didn’t get out until 5am – they were still outside when Rob turned up to open for breakfast!

Meanwhile I went to Oblivion but still being ill left after about an hour.

Sunday (24th)
Had to be up at 9:30 for work. Afterwards my dad picked me up and gave me a lift home which was cool. Then me and Michelle headed out to the All-American Rejects gig which was wicked, they are quite an active band on stage (no Billy Talent but still very good).

Monday (today)
Had 2 lectures. And 2 hours of drinking in the Llama. It’s a nice balanace I think.
