Fundamental Bonding

First 3 weeks at uni. Crazy in my nazy fun so far!!! Seriously it's awesome, the people are lovely and friendly and intelligent and beautiful. And the course is incredible, long and so mindblowingly challenging!

We had a freshers fortnight. Essential first few weeks to make those all important first impressions on people and make life-long friends (hopefully...). I was told to go to everything i possibly could- since that's the only way to meet lotsa new people in a short space of time.

Week 1:
Monday- induction
Tuesday- Band Night (students with guitars, wearing labcoats and doing some serious headbanging. quite frightening really....)
Wednesday- Curry at Brick Land with Badminton club (very nice and cheap!)
Thursday- Quiz Night (dragged some newly acquainted friends down. we made a team and came.... *drum roll* 19th. Which is 3rd from last. oh well, was fun though!)
Friday- Toga and Tequila night (see below. nuff said!)

Week 2:
Monday + Tuesday- proper lectures. very condensed- adjusting to university pace has been difficult!
Wednesday- first badminton session, may have made team... (squeal!!!!)
Thursday- Gangsters and Hoes (pics below. get yo face excited!!!)
Friday- rest day... my feet had cramps. yet more lectures fyi.
Saturday- Boat Ball (again pics below)

+dentsoc circus night event- just this wednesday.... (photos at the bottom. this will be one heck of a monster of an update folks!)

 
Thought i'd just upload some pictures onto here of the main events to demonstrate the funness that has been the start of university- woop woop!

First stop; Toga and Tequila Party!

My newly assigned good friend Naz and I- she's shown bottom left of this section- we bought cloth from a market for just under £4 each. Then we basically wrapped it around ourselves-toga style! We grabbed some leaves off trees on our way to my student dad's apartment (he's shown on the right with me- both of us very much drunk by this time). Just below this writing you may see me on the right with leaves on my head. Roman eh? Didn't last a very long time, I'll tell you!

Anyway, it was an amazing night! The lovely, lovely students there bought us very many drinks. The last two pictures were of our tube ride back home- exhausted and drunk. Not a good combo. :)

Gangsters and Hoes:

 

Ah, you will see my outfit properly just above this text. I'm furthest to the right- in the orange top. First time I've worn heels in months and months. It wasn't easy friends.

So this was the first asian society event of the year. Which meant lotsa R&B music and bangra. lol. If only I'd known how to dance to that... But no worries i once again got a bit too excited about the ol' alcohol. Nevermind had one heck of a night! :D

 

 

 Next; Boat Ball:

 Boat ball was a night spent cruising down the Thames. Shame i don't have a full length shot of my dress. Bad planning really- i should really have thought to take a picture before i left... apologies... anyway i'm sure i'll wear it again at some point! ;)

But yes, nice evening. Naz and i decided we would not get drunk this evening. So it felt a lot more mellow than the rest. It's a good and bad thing really. :) Enjoy the less hectic pictures- not as many i'm afraid...

Circus Night (a dentsoc event...):

 And I dressed as a ballerina! Well, kind of... We all painted hearts on ourselves to show that we're now a clan. Indeed. Good thing i brought face paint in, huh? Sonila (below, left) and Nikki (black and white stripes) show our hearts off beautifully! Enjoy! 

So yes, it's been a mad couple of weeks... whew. Just some random pics here at the end- from various fun times around cafeterias and restaurants with my new bum chums. It'll be nice to look back on this post one day and reminisce....

Seriously hoped you liked this post! Pictures are always such a pain in the ass to upload and find and then arrange. Also i have a lazy problem...


Take care ya'll!!
