I was going to say that with university comes increased free time, but that's completely untrue. I may as well be working a 9 'til 5 job. Still, this is a renewed attempt to keep a blog, even if Oliver is going to be the only person reading it (hi, Ollie!). I'm sitting in my room with a bowl of soup and my new laptop, still a little tipsy from last night, avoiding laundry and cleaning. Oh, how responsible I am!

The above was written nearly two months ago now, right at the start of the semester. A lot has changed since then, myself included, I expect. I'm still avoiding laundry, and apparently sleep (why is it past 5am?) So here, for Oliver's reading pleasure, is a delirium-fuelled, extensive (but not exhaustive) list of the things I've come to miss about home:
Red onions! Cooking and consuming 'Snobby Joe's' with Peter. Mushrooms. My bed. My living room and the sense of calm it instills in me. Eating at The Warehouse Cafe with Pete and out-staying our welcome, even if we do have something of a quasi-personal relationship with the staff there by now. Baking cupcakes. Rosé wine and pizza with jalapeños. The way that Pete and I have an unspoken agreement that my money is his, and vice versa, and spend it accordingly. Sausage sandwiches. Sweet Chilli Tyrrells, cookies and chocolate soya milk. City Bar with Briony, and re-visiting later in the day to get pancakes with chocolate sauce and ice cream because we didn't have room the first time around. My brother's ownership of all 5 seasons of House, along with my cat, having money, and my Dad.
I notice that many of these items are food-related, haha. I can't say that I'm surprised. I think I'm going to end this one here, before I get past the point of tired. I will leave you with a photo that I definitely think sums up some aspects of university:
Classic.
Sexy: Undisclosed Desires by Muse. My life will be incomplete until this comes on in a club.
Unsexy: People stealing my food.
* Olivers viewing pleasure, noted.
