Someone say freshers?

That's right, I'm back baby!! In winch of course. The last week or so has been manic.
I moved in on the 14th, which consisted of a strange rushed day, buying most of tesco's and filling up the smallest possible fridge freezer, which is shared between 5 of us.
I unpacked my things, with the help of my housemate and put my sheets on my first double bed. Best feeling ever waking up to space on both sides of the bed in the morning. We also put a desk chair together, and scared my housemate by hiding in an over sized box, who said students were immature? Its lovely all sitting in our living room watching TV and talking about how our summers have been, I've missed them all so much.
Wednesday night we decided to get all the gang together again and throw a house party where we played drinking games, danced to the jungle skank and did regretful shots of absinthe. The next day you could actually see my head pound, I woke up with two big bruises not remembering how I got them.
I had to power through, therefore Thursday I spent the whole day at home recovering and bracing myself for the night to begin. We got to our friends house all feeling pretty fragile and started slowly drinking our alcohol we had brought. Again another banging night at the silent disco, seeing people we haven't for months, drinking cheap 1.80 singles and shots for a pound,  shouting at each other to change the channel on their headphones. I woke up to remember very little, and got told that I fell down the stairs at our student union, standard.
Friday rolled round, and after another day of feeling like a dying tramp I wasn't too fond of the idea of going out again, but I had to man up, it was freshers I couldn't let the team down. We again went to our friends house, began downing weird concoctions such as gin and cherryade, jersey turnpiking until we ran out of energy and enagaging in drunk talk about anything and everything that could ever exist. Me and Jaz got thrown out that night, but to say the least it was an amazing night, even if I can't remember it.
I love fresher's week, and all my friends that make uni so much more fun, but the greatest love of my life will always be alcomahol.

September.

Officially summer's now over and I haven't blogged yet this month thought I'd let you all know what's been going on in the wonderful world of Lauren. Ha.
My parents have been away for the last week or so therefore I've been cooking, cleaning, looking after pets etc... Basically been a single housewife in between my long days at work. But hey I'm still alive! Talking about work I managed to cram 44.5 hours last week, pay day best get here soon.
This month I've been working at my job in Essex for two years! It's gone so quick, I've met some lovely people there and hopefully next summer I'll be back there again, fingers crossed.
Looking back on the 5 things I wanted to happen this summer, I guess I pretty much achieved everything. Apart from the healthy diet, as my alcohol consumption has anything but lowered since being home.
It's been so lovely staying here, sounds soppy but I do love my family to bits. My sister starts school in 6 days, and I'll be there next week hugging my mum, probably crying just as much as she does as I can't  believe how much she has grown. I'm so proud of her, and will always be there whenever she needs me.
The last few years has honestly flown by. Scary to think I'm halfway to 40 next year, old bag. And I'm sitting here eating egg and soldiers. Very mature.
Looking at my timetable, which for gods sake UOW please don't change it! I have every Wednesday off, and depending on the week Thursday and Fridays too. Bring on Bar bone on Tuesday nights, Wednesday were made for junk food hangovers.
I've underestimated the time I have left before I move into my house. I still have so much to buy, hours of packing to do, and the endless list to write to make sure I've not stupidly left anything important behind, like my beanbag, god knows how I'd survive without it.
I am TOO excited to see my meatball tomorrow night, just to hang out and watch episodes of j shore is going to be amazing. Best company ever.
That's all I can be bothered to write so basically laters y'all.
