when you’re glad schools starting so you can have a regular schedule and things to do again but also don’t want it to start bc you know you’ll be constantly stressed about school work
today i’ve realised that living in college and having a roommate on the same course is actually perfect for revision??? like when your chat break suddenly turns into reading exam questions and we’re all bouncing ideas off each other and suddenly you’ve been revising for an hour and having fun and it’s actually the most productive revision session yet?????? //wow//
felt really shitty and tired and hungover today and i’m a little bit tired of my roomie because she nags me a lot (to be tidy or to get out of bed etc. etc.) and she’s not really nice and it’s so much?? like she is p unfeminist and can be quite homophobic/biphobic and it’s fine i love her we get along p well in general but she teases me for being a sheep and for being generally “weird” which is all true but it’s still too much?
also she and anna have got this idea that i fancy fred and i honestly don’t - fred is a nice guy but eh - and they keep teasing me about it and throwing subtle hints, and apparently he said he likes me? so they keep asking me if i like him and saying that i’m going to upset him/hurt his feelings and i need to make my mind up about it??? or at least give him a chance and i just??? he’s nice but they clearly just like matchmaking and so what if we basically snuggled whilst watching my fair lady fuck
durham is lovely! and my college is pretty great - my room is super near the dinning hall/jcr/kitchens and stuff and my roomie and i have actually met before at the open day which is cool
and i’ve talked to loads of people (despite how exhausted i am from the journey up here) and we had a really nice dinner/chilled out evening and i even got to play table football which is usually a terrible idea but whatev
and i’m so excited for freshers and everything!! i’ve already got loads of college pride and i’m pumped for the formals and stuff this week (as well as english things obvs)
like yeah tomorrow i have a welcome talk in the english department and i;m saying goodbye to my parents bUT none of this feels real
and everyone is super nice. this is all such a relief yeah.
