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)
