FRESHERS WEEK!

And so it begins! This week was Freshers Week at the University of Strathclyde and at uni's across Glasgow/the West Coast. Most of my time was spent: stumbling confused through different levels of the unions being squashed between what seemed like millions of people in an attempt to find the clubs/societies I wanted to sign up to and of course to blag my way into getting some free pizza without having to send the promotion text in order to do so. 

I went a big crazy with signing up to the mailing lists during the Freshers Fair as I put my name done for: Women's Rugby, Pool and Snooker, Basketball, Re-Act (the acting group which I'm especially excited about), Boxing, the Debate Club, the Yes Campaign (which I'm not ever sure if I support or not) and finally the Strathclyde Telegraph of course. 

I always managed to wangle myself FREE pizza, popcorn, sweets, pens, keyrings, bottle openers, shot glasses and a hoodie! Not a bad weeks work, especially with SAAS coming through today, yass! 

The two groups I'm most looking forward to are Re-Act and being involved in the uni newspaper. I haven't done any acting in a few years since my school wouldn't offer Drama at Higher for 5th years but I did get an A for my intermediate 2 exam which consisted of a play where I portrayed a troubled, alcoholic teenager from a broken home who got into the wrong crowd, progressed to becoming a heroin addict and died of an overdose in the final scene. Very cheerful. But hopefully my experience, little as it may be, will help me out. It seems like a good way to make new friends too. 

Naturally I can't wait to get involved in the Strathclyde Telegraph as well. Any experience I can get with a publication is obviously going to be good for my CV and give me some more experience in writing quality pieces. The features and news sections look like the best ones for me to try to get involved with. 

I thought I'd show you guys a picture if SOME of the leaflets, offers, cards and flyers I accumulated through the week.  

I attacked my wall with them for something to do. 

In other news, I got a job! I have my induction at Primark tomorrow morning so hopefully all goes well. Everything is happening all at once! I'm definitely going to be very busy, stressed and tearing my hair out but I'm strangely looking forward to it.
