What I am grateful for

Here is a list of what I am grateful for.

You may want to make one of these lists Bob maybe? I remember there was a while where I was a complete mess in year 11 and you told me to write a list of 50 things worth living for (or something along those line) and at the time I could only thing of three. I

The high point of my day

Today started off really bad.

Firstly, I was rather sleep deprived. I woke up in the middle of the night (screaming) and struggled to get back to sleep. So instead of bouncing out of bed as usual, I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed dreading the day to come.

Against better reasoning, I did not drink coffee. Instead, I headed off to my tutorial. If my first thing was not the tutorial, I wouldn't have left my bed. I would have readily skipped my statistic lecture and seminar - that was just the mood I was in. However, I like my tutor and her office and concluded that it would cheer me up.

So yeah, that was the high point of my day - the tutorial.

I don't know. I was having a dream and I thought that something was stuck in my throat and that I was dying and so in the dream I screamed.

The scream did not actually leave my throat - or so I thought. This was till some of the people in my halls got up and began to wonder what the sound was. 

 Ever since coming uni. I feel a lot more in control of my eating. Before, it used to be so bad. I'd sometimes have four meals a day and they would be quite big and then I'd snack as well. I would have so much of a struggle when it came to spending three hours not eating. The worse thing as well is that I ate so much processed food and bad fats and sugars. During the summer was the worse especially because I ended up eating so much fast food. 

Now everything has changed. :) 

I only eat three meals a day and snack very little if not at all.  If I do snack, then it is on fruit or cucumber. The change is so drastic and I am so proud of myself. I have mostly cut out bad fats from my diets. No oil, ready meals, processed meats and pastries. I have mostly cut out meat from my diet as well. When I say this, I mean, I have only had meet twice but these were on occasions where I was not cooking and someone else was so I didn't have much of a say. I only wanted to cut down on meat and not fish but I have sort of stopped eating fish frequently too. Also, I eat so much more vegetables and get most of my proteins from eggs. Currently, my only problem is the amount of carbs I eat but it is still less than before and it is in moderation. As for biscuits and sweets, I have stopped eating sweets for the most part. As for biscuits and crisps, it is more of a case that if someone offers me some, I will eat it. If not, then I do not need it. I have not lot any weight (as I have not been doing much exercise). However, I feel so much healthier and better about myself as a result. 

I will start exercising soon. I have a lot of late starts to facilitate an early morning jog. I just need to get into the habit. 

The Great Game

An achievement which I am proud to announce is that on the first week of Uni, I was able to have a conversation with every person on the 3rd and 2nd floor of my accommodation. Even better, I planned a Sunday hangout to watch the Bridget Jones movie. So socially, I am not failing in Uni life.

I told Alicia that I could tell her everyone who lived in all of the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor and I could tell her three things about them. This did not work and the rest of the following day, I spent thinking 'crap, I do not know everyone,' resulting in me getting out paper and making a list of who lived where, what their names are and what degree they do plus and interesting fact. It eventually got completed and it turned out that the reason why I was confused as to where people lived is that there was no 212, 213, or 214. The rooms went from 211 to 215 and so the three people I thought  did not know do not exist.

I ended up sticking the lists on the kitchen doors.

What happened yesterday was that some first floors came up to the second floor as they were curious and I, being bored, played a game. Can you guess what my name is from the list? It wasn't an easy task seeing as there were 24 people to chose from, but being nice I gave them some clues.

I do a degree that no one else on the floors do.
I like messing with people.
I am a Londoner.
I speak only English,

It took them twenty minutes because I wrote my names as Trevor/Linda/Olugbemi and they were certain that Trevor was a boy. To further mess with them, I started to write whether anyone likes Harry Potter on the list and I was like 'I think Trevor does, but I am not sure,"

Eventually they got it because I told them to look carefully at the list. I like messing with people - who on the list looks like they would do so? In my description, I wrote: dubious person. Talkative. Claims to be adopted. When they clocked on, they were like, oh, that makes sense.

I managed to lock myself outside of my way five days in.

That wasn't the worse of it. I had no shoes (but socks).

I called everyone who could help but no one was available so I was left with the option of walking to student reception and getting a temporary key.

Only I had no shoes. :( So Alicia, who is a size 5, borrowed me her crocs. They were waaaaay too small and so I walked in socks anyway.

Though no one noticed.

I thought it would be a record, five days in. However, someone locked themselves out of their room within hours.

Bridget Jone's Baby

I planned to go watch the Bridget Jone's movie with Alicia. A girl I met who lives on the floor below me. I have literally spent most of my time with her. 

However, as I told other people of my plans, they were like, oooh can we come to?

So like ten people from the 3rd and 2nd floor of my accommodation went to watch the movie and now we are planning to have regular weekend hangouts. 

Birthday

One of my flat mates had his birthday today so everyone surprised him.

One of the girls (who is Italian) made him Pizza and cake and I made sure he wouldn't see into the kitchen. Another girl made sure that when he was coming up, everyone knew. It was quite cool.

Hello world,

First of all, what I would like to say is that people are sometimes that are based on their opinion need not apply to you. 

People said that first year is so chill and it is like A levels.

People said that it would take so long to make friends and that for ages, you will have no one you can trust. 

People were like, it is so difficult and everyone drinks and parties.
