If you've been following my posts on social media recently you will know that I have recently just moved over 100 miles away from home to Southampton for uni. This blog post is just a mini catch up on what I've been doing since I've got here - for those interested of course!
Well, I arrived on Wednesday morning I think it was around half nine in the morning and after much going backwards and forwards pass the uni accom I made it! My dad and I began to unpack, then did a food shop and walked around the city centre for a while. When it was time to say bye I got so emotional - saying bye to my dad was the worst. Although I'm hoping that I will see him before I come back home in December - WOAH. I think it really hit me that I'll miss having family around when I headed up to my bedroom and realized I was alone. I decided to make my pin board and desk look more homely and put pictures of the family on the bedside table. I met up with some friends who I have previously chatted to on Facebook and we headed out that night (believe me or not, I haven't been partying since Wednesday night, hangovers are NOT nice.)
The rest of the week and weekend I decided to dedicate to finding my way around the city and get my barings. I've done a few food shops- just topped up when I needed too. Never did I realize how expensive it actually is. I've met some really awesome new friends whilst being here which has made it feel a bit more easier, yet it seems to be at night time I get really homesick. On Saturday I went on a tour of Southampton with my friend who I've known for ages - Steve. We went for lunch at this super awesome restaurant called - Turtle Bay. Whilst we were sat catching up and eating lunch we saw a person with a sign walk by for a vintage fair which happened to be dead opposite where we were - BONUS! We had a look around there before then heading up to another part of Southampton city centre and had a cup of coffee/hot chocolate in a cute little cafe! It was such an awesome day, really cheered me up!
I've been feeling a little rough with a cold which is going around and all I seem to want to do is sleep... brilliant time just before freshers starts :-( Tomorrow I start uni at 9AM, eeek! Praying everything goes OK.
I will write another blog post soon about my first week at uni, I better go now for some more grapes, oranges and honey tea to get rid of this cold.
Chow for now!
