Societies

I understand this is a late post but i've been really busy recently with work and socieities so now I finally have some free time I'm going to write this blog sorry to keep you waiting!

Societies

OK freshers week is over, over that week i've got to get to know my 35 blocks mates and we are like one big disfunctional family, I've met so many new people in class that I cannot even remember there names!. So too socilize outside of my block I decided too sign up for a number of societies which were Archery, Poker, Student Magazine, Snapshot, Refereeing, Swimming, Rowing, Lacrosse, Drama, Life Sciences & Mathematics, Out of all the ones i've signed up for I've only found the free time to attend Lacrosse and Drama.

Lacrosse is a violent game that is basically like Ice Hockey but in the air with violent tackles with long sticks, it's got to be one of the funnest games I've ever played!, and the people in the society form a "lad" mentality, with their drinking games & pub forfeits and such. I've certainly met some interesting people!.

The drama society went well, although as you would expect I did meet some odd people, but some of people I did get to meet were lovely and cannot wait to see again!, I did not manage to get a stage role but I'm going to help out back stage

Finances

 Now I receieved my about £2,300 in students finances, within two days I had to pay my accomodation fees as well as paying back my £450 in my accomodation deposit leaving me with about £900 for 3 months, which sounds like quite alot but then I have to sign up for the Athletic Union with Lacrosse about £20, Sign up for Society membership about £50, signed up for the gym for a year for some reason £100, soon i'll have to buy my Lacrosse kit £130, then there's the lacrosse stick £50 & as well as all that I have nights out where I have to pay for entry and drinks which leads to about maybe £40 a week!, After all that it's just food and the essentials so it really does dawn on me that I will be relying on my overdraft towards the end of the student year!

Work and Free time

My first week was pretty easy it was just introductory lectures and laying down the rules but now i'm in my second week the amount of work is dawning on me after every lecture there must be at least an hour of questions to follow in maths and in biology there is so much information to go over!, I must say though i'm enjoying it much more than sixth form being away from Burton is so refreshing and meeting new people is brilliant.

Current Situation

 I'm going over notes as I have a maths test next week that goes towards my first year of my degree!, tonight I understand people are going out to the student union to watch some crappy house music, for the first time i've passed on that event to catch up and type up my work. University life is finally hitting me that i'm going to have to do loads of revision perhaps more than A level!,

thanks for reading I'll aim to get another one up for sunday but... I may not have much to talk about so It may be later :)
