have you ever noticed…
does anyone not believe you when you say you’re sick anymore? I just spent the day trudging (yes trudging, i couldn’t even walk at a normal rate) around campus, and still people looked at me suspiciously when i replied ‘eh. been sick all weekend’ to their cheerily and completely formulaic question “How are ya?” .
is there some conspiracy theory at work that i don’t know about? or is university just completely devoid of human emotion when it comes to having a little compasion for the other person?
Anyway, that was just on my mind, and now i digress.
Today was my first day of week three (i wagged my two lectures yesterday and stayed at home, where my bed became my sanction as it had been for previous days prior) – crazy huh!? i can’t believe we’ve been here for nearly a month; well it will be a month if we counted 0-week. So the question i wanna ask right now, as i type quickly waiting for packed to the rafters to being (that show is so family-orientated its cute) is have any of you made friends? as in ‘real’ friends? i’m talking about the real deal – phone numbers, facebook, myspace, twitter, whatever’s your style – and they can’t include people from your high school! I’m gonna be honest here and say its a lot *insert swear word* harder than i thought it was going to be, possibly even more-so when you’ve got some of your best friends doing another degree just down the hall…
And for those of you who have made friends, many many fantastic amazing friends – wanna give us newbies some advice?
ta taaaa lovelies
ooh ps: have any of you been to the media collective meetings on Monday? i haven’t been for the past two weeks for reasons i couldn’t control, and now i feel kinda outta-the-loop!
🙂
I have made many acquaintances, a lot of whom I think will probably become friends. But no, no friends yet. No one who I quite feel comfortable enough asking “do you want to meet up at Tuesday lunch?”
But everything I’ve heard tells me that it’s totally normal. I’d say (being a first year myself I’m hardly an authority, but anyway) just keep making an effort to meet as many new people as possible, and be patient. Start worrying if you’re still friendless at the end of the year.
