Well this blog is basically to shame you all for basically forgetting my birthday. Call me unappreciative but I don't count a happy Birthday on Facebook as a actually happy birthday. Some of you didn't even bother with that meaning that strangers I've never met made more of an effort that you.
I received one birthday text from Eliot and one from my mum. Aside for that and the one card I got the day before my birthday it seems no one cares that I've turned 19 or that i'm alone in another country with no friends to celebrate my birthday with.
Luckily for me I have amazing room mates who threw me a mini surprise party. The even went out and bought banners and ingredients for vegan cookies. They bought me a bottle of vodka as we'd finished the litre bottle and made me a card. Then as we were all tired from the night before we curled up on the sofa, made vegan pizzas and watched the inbetweeners.
All I can say is thank god they made the effort or it would of been the worst birthday of my life. I'd like to give a particularly bad shout out to Beth who hasn't spoken to me for several days even though she lives 10 minutes away :). And to Adam didn't even bother to tell me he wan't coming up for my birthday until;l I asked him what time he was arriving several hours before he was due to arrive.
Once again thanks. It make me feel so much better and less homesick to know you all care so much.

I'm not in Swansea
Well its 12pm and I am already finished for the day so I thought I'd write a blog. I've only been her one full day but it already feel like weeks. Thats not to say i've settled in because I still miss home (more that I expected to). Exeter is a lovely town. Big beautiful building and great shopping. I'll be honest I'm not really sure what the night lifes like cause although I went out to St Lukes su and Arena on my first night I haven't seen any other clubs or been in any bars.
My room is nice. Its a decent size with loads of storage and I love my en suite :D. I still haven't properly unpacked (which I really need to do as Adam is arriving later) and my room is a tip. I'm started to get sorted now though. I signed up for geography today and 2 girls from my halls are from the same course as me. They are both really nice. Sophie Newport and went to the same school as my welsh room mate Gabby. After I signed up for all my modules which was quite distressing as we realised they were only worth 15 resits each instead of 30. I am now doing 7 modules. 3 Human which I have to do and I signed up for the 3 Physical as well because I had no idea what other subject to do lol. It cool though cause I like physical, just not so sure on the geography of SW England (sounds pretty boring :|). At least Sophie will be in all the same classes as me :). Lucy will be in most of them buts she's doing Geography with European Studies so she has to do a language module in French.
I want to do a video tour of my room and kitchen and stuff so I will get that up when I have unpacked and I can safely walk across my room without risking death :P. I'll also do a blog on my roomies at some point but I'm not friends with them all on FB yet so I have no pictures. I'll tell Beth to do a blog also. I went out with her room mate on the first night and they are really nice. They think we are crazy which I suppose is to be expected. I feel bad because I promised Beth I wouldn't make them think she was weird but I think I did it on accident lol. It's cool though cause it was a good weird. They couldn't believe how much energy we had. It seems like people here are a lot more timid on a night out. They seem far to preoccupied with looking cool and not humiliating themselves in public. FOOLS.
Hope everyone is doing well. Regular updates please :). Once I've settled in I'll probably start blogging regularly again :). I've got nothing tomorrow but I have a few things on Thursday. I'll keep you all informed :). Keep a look out for a blog on my team building exercise next week (I have a feeling it will be eventful).
Ciao for now Bitches
