For those of you who aren't sure what college will be like, lemme show you-

where are the hot girls i was promised

[sir dooble]

Moved in today.
Got to sleep at 2am last night (or there abouts), got up at about 6:30, left house at 7:30.
Arrived in Wales at uni at about 10:30-11:00am.
Moved all my stuff in, got registered and such, picked up my Student ID card, signed on with the local GP surgery, went food shopping.

Then went with my parents to a nearby town so we could get some dinner (one last free meal, lol).
Ate way too much.
Drove back, finished setting up all my electronics. Said farewell to parents at 9pm.

All my dorm-mates left (or are in their rooms) while I was out, so never really got to introduce myself.
There's quite a bit of party music going on coming from the SU.
Way too sick from beer and food to crawl down there. So, first night is a bit of a downer on not doing anything.

And gotta be up and out for 9:30 tomorrow, for a full day of listening to lecturers and such.
I am so shattered, lol.


Here's pics of my room though.



Bathroom;


Not a bad room, but nuisances are as follows;
It only has two thin shelves.
Has no bed-side locker.
Wardrobe is kinda small, but will do.
Bathroom has no shelves at all, inside the shower or outside it. So all my shower gels and things are either balanced on the thin sink, or not in the room.
Room has 2 ethernet ports, but only 1 works. Not sure if intentional or not.

roommate is gone for the night and I'm typing out a resume and a paper for english

Had he not had court tomorrow morning (minor fender bender, it's a "who's-to-blame-who's-gonna-pay" thing) we were gonna smoke the remaining 1g we have between us and then chill.



Anyone else here had lean/purp/purpa drank? I only got halfway through a cup of the stuff and I never got my trip, but that was some of the BEST sleep of my life. My roommate said when he gets back tomorrow, we're gonna smoke what we got (more than likely hotbox his car), do some lean, maybe get some mexican food.
edit:
I just remembered from last night, we went over to this one friend of my roommate's place, we hit this double chamber bong then took about 3 rotations of this bowl... holy stuff we were crispy. And the bong was a creeper hit, but his girl wasn't feeling good so we had to drive back to the dorm. Which was HILARIOUS and nerve racking. Last night was the biggest game of the year and announced a dry-game because some governor was at the game. Cops EVERYWHERE, we went through one intersection that had 7 cars parked around (cops directing traffic). Any time we got into a tight space, he would scream out "THREADTHENEEDLETHREADTHENEEDL ETHREADTHENEEDLE!" The traffic was TERRIBLE, and the entire time we were SLOWLY getting higher and higher, so we're both freaking out. I have no idea how he was doing, but lights were blending together for me, and I was in no condition to be on the road.

good god last night was clutch

uhm sir i suggest you continue typing resume and paper for engrish

[AdinX]

uhm sir i suggest you continue typing resume and paper for engrish

shhh my brain is fried atm, I'm taking a 10 minute break.
Resume is done, I need a 1 page response about what I think of my resume, then I need another 2-3 pages on the essay.

I'm going to bed sometime around 2-3am. Wake up at 7 for class, class starts at 8am, then I have intro to computers at 1pm, then I have nothing left for the day. I'm getting high as a motherforgeter, ordering/finding mexican food, then we're gonna have some lean.

[Daedalus]

holy stuff we were crispy.

oh forget I thought I was the only one who used the adjective crispy for non-food-related things
'crispy' is about 90% of my vocabulary

[sir dooble]

So, actually got a chance to chat with one of my dorm-mates, and he seems to be a complete nutter.

According to him, he hates it here already (we've been here for just about 24 hours), he threw up all over his room, he drinks to drown out his depression, he takes his depression out on other people, he's never spoken to anyone about his depression and issues (and is reluctant to do so, despite just sitting in on a talk all about the student support the uni provides, including the member of staff responsible for helping and directing students with any and all issues).
He says he's gonna give it a week and then probably call his mum to pick him up because he doesn't want to be here.

He also looks like he's missing a couple of chromosomes.
Not nice, but I do kind of hope he leaves.

For those of you who aren't sure what college will be like, lemme show you-

2nd biggest football game of the year was last night, we won, and the pirates of ECU turned the forget up. Strong armed robbery, fights, stuff ton of parties, oh jesus. Streetchat is covered in people still hungover, yik yak is all smack and people talking about "oh god how much did I smoke/drink last night"

God I love being a pirate

Can confirm, this is what I do half of the time I'm not in class or doing work.
