Freshers

As promised here is my blog on freshers. It was a pretty good week but I'm not gonna lie it could of been better. Exeters good for a night out, with this many students it would be hard not to be, but its a lot of small clubs and no big ones. The first week it was just so over saturated it became a bit of a nightmare. I'm used to queuing now, but I'd never queued for a club before I came here.

First night I went out with Beth and her roomies. They were all lovely, very pretty and girly but a little subdued for my liking. They thought me and Beth were hilarious with our "weird" dancing lol. They thought it was cool that we were so hyped and had lots of energy but I'm used to everyone being like that so it was a bit strange.

Luckily for me I have a pretty energetic crazy flat. Gabby being Welsh is like me when shes out and Giulia is just amazing :P. Rebecca is a little difficult cause she runs off and I've only actually been out with her for about an hour despite several attempts. Abi is doesn't come out with us in the evening and of course Syn doesn't speak to any of us lol.

Freshers started out in clubs, We hit Arena, Time Piece, Rococos...

By the end of the week we were getting to drunk off of pre-drink to make it out of the flat. For that reason Mosaic failed and so did the Lemmy. I blame ring of fire ( a lethal drinking game). First night we played I threw up on the table, although I blame Chloe cause I found out the next day she tried to feed me ham and pineapple pizza. I went to bed and when I woke up all my stuff was in the freezer, the bible is still there as a memory to the night lol.

The next night although I was still hung over at 9pm we played again (me with water). This time Rebecca got ridiculously ill. And I mean ridiculous. After hours of hysterics (she thought she was going to die lol), throwing up, crying etc. we finally got her to sleep. We kept checking on her to make sure she was still breathing though because we were genuinely worried lol. My profile picture is me and Chloe with Becca in the middle lol. We all found it pretty hilarious despite the fact she was seriously ill lol. Chloe has a video which I intend to put on Facebook at some point so you should definitely watch that.

That was the last night of freshers. We had a few days off since and watched the inbetweeners and Gavin and Stacey but we've continued to go out. Students in Exeter don't go out on the weekends so if you want to go out it has to be in the week. I mean you fall asleep in lectures but its totally worth it.

My only complaint so far is that all the club nights in Exeter are themed. I thought it was just for freshers but it seems its always like it. I kept having to buy stuff for the traffic light party and the UV party ect. and now I have to worry about a cowgirl outfit and a fairy outfit for the Geography social. It's all very expensive and a lot of effort.

Anyway that me pretty much done. How is everyone else finding the night life in their chose establishment?

ROOMIES

This is my blog to introduce you all to my fantastic roomates.

We are calling ourselves the penthouse flat achos we live on the top floor of Block G and we are the only flat on our floor. It makes us very exclusive as only we come up here but its also a bit of a nightmare making friends with the rest of the block.

So I will do a quick intro on all of them. I'll do a blog on what I actually got up to during freshers some time this weeks as things should settle down and stop being so hectic.

First person I met was Gabby. (on the left)

Gabby is fromWales :D:D:D. Shes a Newport lash so I actually know places that shes knows :). Shes pretty typical welsh. Loud, funny and generally a good laugh. Shes been really nice and friendly and is definitely one of my favorite roomies although I kinda love them all :S, yeah strike that last bit I can't decide on favorites. Shes studying Maths. I know I was shocked too. She had her first lecture today and she said It was really boring. I intend to laugh at her when she has lots of boring maths work to do. Shes a rep for Time Piece on Mondays as well so (this is for Beth benifit) if you want a ticket for monday night she'll hook you up :P. 

Next I shall introduce Rebecca. Shes dislikes being called becky so we've settled on Becca and Bex.

Becca is not from Wales :(. But good news ... shes already starting to pick up mine and Gabby's accent. She's is from Brighton so is a pretty long way from home. She is really sweet, she almost seems shy but she's just quiet softly spoken. Being from the valleys this confused me for a while but I got used to it. She's a very amusing drunk ... until she get ill ... It was the wine. I have nickname her Slut for no particular reason. It has worked out well as she seems to be generally concerned that it's true. In reality she was the only really option for Slut of the group. Gabby has a boyfriend and its to about to be me or Giulia or Abi.

Nexe we have Giulia. If you haven't guessed from the name she's Italian.

Giulia is kinda amazing. She's so brave coming over here to study (she's studying History by the way) and her English is amazing. Shes came over here to study for AS then went back to Italy for A2. She literally got 100% in her Italian Exams and Cambridge was her first choice (as it was Rebeccas) but she didn't get in. She's funny and alwasy eager to come out even though clubbing not really her thing. In our kitchen we have a partition with lots of squares and we have dedicate one to Italy so she can feel more at home :D. I'm not sure it really helps but shes been very nice about our poor efforts.

Abi is next. I still don't have her on facebok so your not getting a photo but I promise i'll put one up when I eventually find her. Shes lovely too :). Shes a little quieter than the others in that she doesn't come out with us but I still chat to her all the time in the day in the flat. Shes is studying Bio-Medicinal Chemistry (I think). It's by far the most specialised of our degrees and her course has way less people on it than mine. She's seems very clever and she talks very fast (I've always considered than the sign of a genius).

Syn moved in a few days ago. I've seen her 3 times. She seems nice but keeps herself to herself. She's from Thailand and is studying finance and accountancy. Hopefully I'll get to know her a little better. I'm quite happy for her to stay distant but at the same time I don't want it to be awkward when I see her.

The more observant once of you will of notice that we're an all girls flat. None of us requested it but there seem to be a lot more girls in Exeter. I was a bit gutted at first but now I am really pleased. It hasn't been at all bitchy and its a lot easier to get on with girls and we've all bonded as a group :).

I have to introduce you to Sophie and Chloe as well. They are my Geography buddies. The are both from James Owen Court so we met up to walk to campus together for our first Geography activity. I had already met Sophie as she's friends with Gabby and came and introduced herself on my first day here.

Ar y right

Shopie is from Newport and went to St Jullians with Gabby. I think they were pretty good friends before they came and they still speak and see each other all the time which is nice. She's very welsh which make me happy as I am now basically always in the company of a welsh person. She's really outgoing and keeps going to activities which I have been dragged along to. She even got me to start beginners street dancing and join the dance society. Next week we have our first tap lesson :P. Sophie also has by far the most social block. Block C is crazy and the one time I went over there were about 40 people in one room for pre-drinks. Me and Chloe had to run away and do vodka shots because we felt small and sober lol.

Chloe Fazan (I ad to put her second name in cause it's cool)

Chloe is from London. I find this very exciting even though it technically greater London and she's still about 40 minutes from the centre lol. She has a Londonish accent but I am determined to get her speaking with a welsh one by the end of three years with me and Sophie. She's so funny and I generally just laugh about I don't know what when I'm with her. She has the most amazing facial expressions, particularly when she is attempting to put attitude into her street dancing. I only agree to go street dancing cause I'd been out with Chloe the night before and witness her complete and utter lack of dance skill. It make me feel better to know I'm not the only one embarrassing myself lol. That being said I don't think any good dancers could entertain me as much as she.

I hope that good enough for you. Hopefully you'll all come visit and meet them for yourselves.

Peace.
