It was round robs for pre-drinks & playing 21, and then we headed off to the SU.
Was a really good night, a nice random group of people and some pretty random dancing!
Tuesday
Tuesday I have to admit I spent the most of it hungover but I did manage to get in for work between 6-9pm and then an early night in preperation for....
Wednesday
It was officially Metroes day! ... except it didnt happen. Round Robs again for some pre-drinkage and we went to the Students Union to pick up Kat but ended up staying. It was a really good night- Bar Exchange meant the drinks changed price throughout the night and it was always exciting to see how much Sambuca was!
Highlights of the night included the spotting of Glyn from Big Brother (and Katy speaking to him!) and the dropping of sausages on the floor :) a classic night!
Thursday
Today I had a meeting for the society (I'm not officially a member... just kind of a spare part!) to discuss things about the fayre next Thursday. It was off to work again till 9pm and then to Dans house for some pre-drinking before the VIP society party at the Union. (That's right, the third time in one week!)
Friday & Saturday
Very uneventful days. I watched alot of 'Strictly Come Dancing' and worked a bit...
Sunday
Today, Tash, Rob and myself went to visit the Museum, so soak up the culture and what not. Twas quite enjoyable- strange to see how different people appreciate different art!
Monday
The second week commences and we are greeted with Student loans!
I began the day by headed around the National Companies Fayre at the union and got some free angel delight! (Butterscotch of course!)
I went work-clothes shopping today and then headed off to the first day of dress rehersal at work. I pretend-sold a bed to my personel manager :)
Tuesday
Tuesday was pretty much taken up by work again. This time we started to get to know our section, looking at the beds and practising on the system. Twas informative but did make me a bit nervous for Thursday.
Wednesday
A day off from work so I went swimming and then to Robs AGAIN for some pre-drinking action. We headed off to Metroes early (or what we thought was early) and was faced with a stupidly long queue. It took an hour to finally get inside the club but was quite a laugh standing in the queue, speaking to random Irish boys and discussing whetherm or not Matt Damon is hot or not.
The club was brilliant. We sang loudly and drank £1.26 double vodka and cokes :)
Thursday
Wishing quite a bit that I hadn't gone out the night before, I headed off to man the stall at the Society Fayre. Was nice to see alot of interest in JUGS (Journalism Undergradute Society) and I'm am tres excited for the first social!
Then it was my first shift at work after the store had opened (*gulp*) I think I did okay- I didn't sell any beds or anything but I did have some nice chats with people and began to become much more comfortable with everything we sold.
Friday
Friday was pay day which was nice :) I had my second shift at work and then headed to the cinema to see 'Fame' which sadly was quite a bit of a let down.
Saturday
Work all day today, woke up at 7.30am and was impressed that I wasn't a zombie. Had a pre-shift breakfast with a few of the worklies and then headed to the shop floor where I proceeded to kill my feet by wearing heels for 9 hours.
After work I then went over to Tash's to watch 'Merlin' which, as per usual, was awesome!
Sunday
I decided to treat myself to the bag that I have loved since the moment I stepped into John Lewis for the first time. More of an investment really...
I also spent a considerable amount of time in the fancy dress shops buying things to wear when I dress as a geek next week.
Dashing don't you think?
And that concludes Freshers Fortnight. Lectures start again tomorrow, so I have to get my academic hat on now :)
For now x
