Shopping and an awesome roast

Okay, so I didn't do much today - had a bit of a lazy day. Woke up relatively early to discover that we had no water! Disaster, no shower but more importantly no coffeee! *twitches at memory* Luckily it came back on at about lunchtimeish.
I settled for a can of VK Energy drink that the Snowriders society had so thoughtfully provided at freshers fayre. Tasted like crap but hey tis caffiene lol.
After I'd had some breakfast and got dressed I wandered over to the modern language block to try and find the tutor for my italian modules as I have a clash in my timetable. He wasn't there so I'm going back first thing on monday.
On the way back I stopped in at the library which is flipping enormous! I got somewhat lost in its basement trying to find books on phonetics for my course. Didn't find any of the reccommended books but found a couple on similar things that looked intersting. Used the self-issuing machine to take them out. Sooo much fun to use ^_^ yes I know, small things lol.
Then after some lunch back at the flat I got the bus into town to go buy stationary and explore. Bought some folders from wilkinsons and a 2008 calender of Russel Brand in Blue Banana, I really couldn't resist lol.
Came back to the flat to find Bec, who doesn't actually live in our flat cooking roast dinner in our kitchen. She did a proper roast chicken which went down really well with the carniverous ones in our flat. It was apparently really moist etc. We also had mash and cabbage and buttered leeks. Pudding was provided courtesy of Sarah and tasted delicious! It was really nice to all sit down to a meal together, felt like a great bonding thingymajig. We had quite a deep discussion about faith as well which was interesting, turns out our norweigian is also a believer. YAY :P Then afterwards we went upstairs to the flat above and watched The simpsons movie, that film is funnier every time I watch it I swear!
Hopeing to go find a church tomorrow morning, not sure where I'm going but I'm gonna have a look and see what I can find. I shall post how the search goes tomorrow.

I went out with the CU tonight, got to know them a bit more, also went to a talk at the chaplaincy entitled 'Surviving uni as a christian' which was so useful. Especially in view of the fact that I've really been struggling with how much drink and sex seems to be the accepted norm here. My mates seem to be out most nights getting pissed till the early hours, and its no fun if you aren't drinking. Also finding time for quiet time with God seems really hard. At the moment my living pattern is so outta sync that half the time I don't know what day it is. I'm sure it will all settle down once lectures start but I'm seriously bored of freshers week culture.

Just a quick email to say I'm having an absolute ball here in Swansea. I'm a bit fed up of how many different bits of paper and forms that I have to fill in at the moment. However there are over 1200 students here so I guess thats understandable. I registered with my department today and signed up for my electives, i'm doing two 20 credit modules in...wait for it....ITALIAN :P Can't wait. I've always wanted to learn Italian. The modules aim to get you up to AS/A-level standard by the end of the year so it's going to be intensive but I'm excited. Plus one of the lads in my flat is Italian so I can always pracitce on him :P
Last night I went to 'Fresh and Free' which was amazing, despite having to wear a bright orange t-shirt that went down to my knees! Got asked to dance by a cute guy, although it would be said he looked really disapointed that I went home at midnight and not with him lol!
I've registered with the doctor and the dentist and picked up my ID card.
Heh, speaking of ID cards, I managed to get myself locked out this morning because of it. I had it in my pocket and when I left my room I felt for the key card in my jeans and obviously found a card and thought nothing of it...until I went to get back in and discovered my student ID. Had to go to Preseli building and ask to be let in, the porter just laughed. Our flat is now on first name terms with the porter because we complained about the fact that we only had 3 chairs in the kitchen (we're supposed to have 8), the fact that we had no kettle at all and the fact that our TV doesn't work. He's really nice though and we've had a steady trickle of chairs arriving in the kitchen from him.
My flat mates are totally mad! I love them lol. We've got 4 girls and 4 boys and its a really nice mix, we all get on really well. Sian and Sarah I already knew from facebook, but we've also got Faye who's really cool.
Then for the boys we've got Ylenio (Italian), Thore (Norwiegian), Sam (who's also a twin) and Rob (surfer)
