All moved in! (with pictures)

So I've been in my new house for 5 days now! I think I'm finally starting to get used to it, I have to admit it is very weird to move out of home for the first time and have to fend for yourself all the time. I'm used to my mum making dinner, doing my washing, being there for chats, and my dad sorting out anything really important, but I'm on my own now, and I suppose it isn't a bad thing. I've sorted my entire Uni application process and accommodation process myself, I've made my own friends, I've been working my normal job plus attending all events for my course. Believe me, it's a lot to remember especially when I used to rely a lot on my parents.
The only thing is that Queen's did not warn me that my house was going to be single sex. Yep, I live with 9 other girls. I don't mind it though, everything has turned out well, every single girl so far seems to be lovely and we all get along really well. There are two American girls and the rest are Northern Irish, and apparently all of the other houses in my street are international which is strange, I was totally expecting to live in a house with a range of nationalities. The way things have worked out though has been really good. The night I got here, no one was in my house yet so I decided to make an effort to make my own company. After hearing that there would be a few icebreakers in one of the University's bars I decided to go down and see what would happen. It ended up being a really good night and I met 8 new friends. So far I've met people from England, Nothern Ireland, Southern Ireland and America which is really cool. I tried to count the amount of new friends I've made these past 5 days so far and I've reached over 30 new friends already. Wow.
Anyway, here's my new room, it's nice enough and a LOT bigger than I expected! I can't complain apart from the fact that at 9am this morning I was woken up by 10 babies crying in the next room and the smell of food floating through the cracks in my door -.-' I live next door to a creche which SUCKS!

 

This is what happens when you go for a night out during Fresher's week, I always come home with at leaat 6 stamps on my arms:

I've met a few amazing people on my course already! I thought the girl to boy ratio would be a lot more daunting, and to be honest it is about 1:10, but I seem to have made friends with a few girls and guys which is really nice. I've been to 2 induction things already, and we did icebreakers at both events. For one of the icebreakers we were given tin foil and sellotape and told to make a tower. So we came up with this and our all-girl group won with the votes of the entire class, woo!

So all in all, I'm having an amazing experience. Uni is crazy, fascinating, scary, hilarious, all at the same time! I'm looking forward to posting more updates when I start my classes next week :)
