university

Between my only two classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I while away the hour and a half in the nearest campus computer lab. With every student taking class at this campus given a username and password upon enrollment, we keep our internet records straight and ensure that any unauthorized activity is properly handled.

Today I went to my usual tucked-in-the-corner computer and sat down to the sign-in screen. Now with our sign-in and sign-out system, the screen keeps the last username to sign out in the box to fill out. Today my screen read "Username: Women are stupid".

I'm signed in, and I'm writing now; but there's something unexpectedly painful about seeing that message. Knowing that the person (I can only assume a man seeing as most women's suspicion of other females is so rarely so intense as to inspire this sort of effort) had to sign out and deliberately type the words before leaving-- I mean, seriously, this was needless and impulsive, not the move of an intelligent person.

On 30th September I move into my accommodation and start university. I can't wait! My room is ensuite, brand new and luxurious and from the moment I move in my Freshers week will be non stop, including a cross dress fancy dress night. It should be great fun, I'm already planning various fancy dress outfits.

I'm so very excited about all this, it's everything I want and I want to make the most of it. However, if there's one thing holding back my excitement it's this. Going off to university will mean the first (significant) move away from a boy who's been in my life for the past 2 years, mostly as a boyfriend but at least as a very close friend. He loves me and thinks we should always be together, and for him, the distance is just an obstacle we can work around. Visiting each other, phone calls, the internet are all we need in his eyes to bide the time until we're back together again. But this is all a problem for me. Why?

I am back from that scary place where you have to live without the internet. Due to a mix up with my mother and paying bills, our internet got cut off for a while and our supplier wasn't very helpful about getting us connected and back online. Finally, though, I am now back up and running!

Maybe I should give an update with where I am in my life. Firstly, when I applied to the AGA I was going to study Italian when I go to university this October, but since then I found out I had other options open to me I didn't even realise I could take and I have switched to doing French instead. I need to buy lots of books for prep reading so all my money will be going to Amazon now, and all my problems (tax problems, net poblems, student finance problems, and many course switching problems) have settled down and been sorted so now I'm looking forward lots to this October!
