Keeping busy

So the inevitable happened. I forgot to post for so long that it has almost been a month! I should start by apologizing, but to be honest I don't really feel the need to do it. It must be understood that I have my own life and sometimes I just can't find enough time to post on here.

Moving on, today I will start by speaking about getting involved. I joined a society in my university, it is like an organisation - Enactus - that helps communities and therefor will help me feel better about helping people. The only downside to this is that it makes it difficult to find time for yourself. If you join a society make sure it will be one that will allow you to keep on studying and everything. Not only did I join this, I finally started to get behind on homework. I am really enjoying this project and I have only gone to two meetings so far. If you want to join but don't want to go alone, grab a friend and take them with you (that's what I did) and it will be easier for you to actually show up for meetings and keep going.

Everything was going alright until I started going out with a guy. I started speaking to him during the time I was supposed to be doing homework and even skipped one of the Enactus meetings to meet him. It was alright at first, but it has been two weeks since I have done my homework on time and I think this will keep on happening for a while. No matter how interested I am in my classes, it will be hard to do so much homework when I start working and going out with him more often. For now it is difficult enough to do it with only hanging out with my friends and him.

As for the job, I am going to be working in McDonalds, just as I did last year. This year it will be different though. I will be working closer to home, I will not be paying the bus ticket there and I will be with so many of my friends and flatmates. That, by itself, helps a lot to make me want to go to work, even if they are not all working on the same days as me (some of them won't be working there during the days that I will). 

I feel like I should say some more about what has been keeping me busy.
There was the going out with this guy.
There was my birthday - which was one of the best days I had all year. Although I wasn't with my family, I spent it with my friends and it was pretty awesome to see them all being so nice to me - they couldn't be mean to me on my birthday and luckily enough they gave me a bit more than the usual 24 hours. Despite my birthday being 25 hours (because of the hour change!) they started to give me the gifts and acting like it was already my birthday around 7pm the day before. Bless them for that. I have the best friends I could have ever asked for.
There was going out with the guy again.
There were our friends coming over, to spend some time with us. We had some fun reunions after uni/work in which we just hung out. We had some quality time during barbecues - yummy food <3 Bless them for that.

That has basically been it. No matter what, I just keep on getting busy and end up with no time for homework or blog updates. I'll try to be regular again, to post often and keep you all updated on Uni life and I guess some details about life in general.

Back to the Routine

One of the things that I was looking forward to the most was going back to classes. I didn't realise just how interested I was in all the optional units I'm taking until I it was 5 minutes before they started. I honestly wasn't expecting to be so excited about them, but I'm glad that I was. As a second year student, I have two core units: Poetics: Research into Writing and Creative Writing: Research into Writing and so fair they seem interesting, especially the Poetics unit. I only had one lecture and one workshop of each of them but they seem to be mostly about the same. How to take research and apply it to the story, though in Poetics  you try to understand the process of why you chose to research that and what that saying about you. I was expecting them to be quite boring actually, but so far they turned out really interesting and actually made me think of how I do research, if I'm searching for the correct things and how I'm showing the new knowledge I got...

January Tales

So this new year has started and I have been going a bit all over the place trying to figure out what is in fact going on. Let me tell you a bit about my January since the last post was just a random update on how things are in fact going. So as some of you might know, I spent the strike of twelve to the new year back home in Portugal. I spent 13 lovely days in there in which I saw family and friends even if just for a few hours. More often than not, I worked on my assessments and then I even spent some time with the dog. It was all good, considering that I was also going to doctor's appointments and getting my health back to the way it should be. Throughout the whole time, I spoke everyday to my lovely people Karolina, Beatriz and Jack. This was the first time I ever had 14 day streak with more than one person, in this case all three of them had it with me. Anyways, upon my return to the cold country that is the UK, I arranged meetings with all my friends and soon I was goin...

This is The End

Hi. As we both know by now, it is clear I am very bad at writing new posts on here as frequently as I hoped. However, I have reached the end of an Era. I am graduating next week and so the purpose of this blog is about to end. I have been as truthful as I could and gave as much advice as I ever could to anyone joining the university experience. I did not have an easy time throughout these last few months. It finally became clear how difficult it is to be finishing university, to try to understand what I want to be doing for the rest of my life, but here we are now. I went from nearly failing this year to writing my dissertation at the library up until late late at night. I was absolutely grateful for my friends who helped me finish it and I could have never asked for better friends than the ones I gained while at university and through work. So this is it. This is the end of this blog. I will definitely start a new blog that I will hopefully post more frequently while I try t...
