Going Home

 Home Life

So far I've been home twice in the month and a half period I have been at university, it seems too me it is becoming evidently clear that all the people I considered friends while in Burton, are now slowly growing apart. Which to be fair is not at all that suprising as prolonged periods apart and everyone is now busy after sixth form with their jobs or university life.
Of course there will always be online interactions over skype and the occasional text but I suppose it's not as close. I'm sure at christmas though there will be alot more interaction time.

After the first two weeks at Keele I went home, where we all decided too come home from our universities too go to a local pub and meet with one and other, which was a nice way too catch up, a month after that i came home again with my friends at university deciding not too come home and lead their lifes, I went out with a different set of friends too the burton nightclubs which was nice too catch up with different friends but there is still the feeling that we are all growing apart

Assessment

So far in Biology we've been set no work, no homework or anything that could be moderated. It's just been lectures refreshing us from A level, then practicals on the lectures we've had which is a nice technique too help us learn the Biology. At the end of each Lab Class we have questions on the experiment which we can hand too the lecturer too tell us ways we could improve our answers.
In Maths I've had one class test, one Assignment and have been set another assignment that's due in for next week. These tests and assignments count towards 40% of the module while the other 60% will be decided by class tests in the Janurary which i'm fearing!, as the content is pretty harder than A Level which means I will have too revise harder!, The bad thing about the Biology side is that I've not seen much example questions that could come up on the Janurary test.

Halloween



Our whole Block decided too go as zombies too the Haloween event at the student union where a band called Theme Park (Amazingg) was playing and after that a seperate DJ played for the rest of the night, my costume is in the picture below:

As you can see my facepaint went prettttty wrong, I decided too go as a trangender zombie, what you cannot see in that picture is I'm wearing tights with a suit, and torn shirt as I thought I may as well add a bit of variety too the costume, It was a pretty fun night and everyone looked awesome, there were even some people in the student union on stilts!

LacrosseThere was a tourtament last week called a freshers tourtament which was pretty fun as everyone had the same level of talent really there were no very good people playing, I played in all 7 games without getting subbed off which is a pretty good achievement we played birmingham city uni, Nottingham trent uni, coventry uni, warwick uni & loughbrough uni, some of these unis at both first and second teams as Lacrosse was more popular in other unis compared too ours, we placed forth which is a pretty good achievement and we had loads of fun while playing in the tourtament but were so tired on the way back!.


Current Situation


At this moment in time i'm currently watching batman, the dark knight, while looking puzzled at this assignment that I'm trying too make some good progress with, my first assignment went pretty poorly so i'm going to put my all into this one too ensure I get the result a actually want!.

First Days at Keele University

 Description of first night

Now I came to university via a lift with my parents, brother & sister, I do not understand why they all came I expected to just be dropped off with my stuff but no, I had to suffer through 5 hours, now when I got here I saw my house neighbours right near my door, that was when I first met them all, seems like a group of respectable people taking a large variety of subjects, pretty much straight away we left from where I am staying Hawthorns to the Student Union to go to the Ice breakers party, The night began playing some pool against my flat mates while enjoying the very cheap beer at the bar. Later on that night, we left the bar and went to the ballroom which looked like a very serious ravey nightclub where you could not hear anything and flashing lights with loud Music, there was also an outside area for when we got too hot, which was just some stairs at the back to a large area of benches the only problem was the queue for the bar it was that packed it would have took 10 minutes to get a drink. The small group I was with got back at about 2 but out house mates were just relaxing on the stairs until 3 in the morning.

Description of my block / room

 The two photos on the left are me standing at either end of my room, I understand it's not the cleanest of rooms but I suppose it is my home!, My block has 2 bathrooms one on the 3rd floor & one of the first each bathroom contains 2 toilets, 1 shower & 1 bath and these are all to share between the 35 people in my block, the two bottom floors are for males whereas the two top floors are for females for separation of bathrooms, on the second floor is the kitchen

which has 4 fridges, 2 cookers, 2 kettles & I believe 2 microwaves when we get here we allocate our selves with one shelf, 1 fridge section & 1 freezer section









Current Situation

I normally end my blog with a current situation so I figured I would not break tradition, I am currently sat in my Room very sleepy as I was up at 8 for the free breakfast that turned out to be just a piece of fruit and a croissant!, after that we all went to the sports fair I signed up for Lacrosse, Rowing, Archery, Basketball & Swimming which seems alot but they're just taster sessions! so should be fun. After that we went to the festival opening which had Keeles bands playing which were very good! & various activities around like football and bouncy castle like events. Tomorrow will be introductory lectures! so that should be fun meeting class mates, Thank you for reading i'll post again next week!
