Quick update

Woah, it's been quite a while since I posted here.
I've obviously settled in quite well, it's been three months. There are a lot of people living in my apartment, though (16!) so it can be a little tough and intense at times, but most of the time, i don't mind it. Great place for hosting a party ;)

I've made some friends, and I am going to make more, it is my new goal haha. Michelle was the first friend I made and we just clicked. Which was really good, it's nice to have someone to talk to and hang out with. She's pretty great, most of the time. As with all friendships, though, there is a little bit of tension at the minute, but nothing I can't handle :)

The course I'm doing is wonderful, I really like it. This year isn't so stressful, I imagine next year will be a nightmare though haha. But, it's nice to relax, last year was pretty mental.
I haven't got a job here yet, which would be nice, but I will get one soon and all will be lovely.

It's almost Christmas time! I am planning on going home on the 20th, looking forward to it a lot. Definitely meeting up with all of my friends, and VERY excited for Christmas dinner! It'll be nice not to have it through a straw :P

In February, it is my 21st birthday. I have started planning it already, since I am asking most of my Irish friends to come to me, as I don't think it will be possible for me to go to them. It's a big ask, but most of them seem to be able to come, so that's amazing. I am looking forward to it a lot, I will most likely have a big snowfight or a citywide game of hide and seek, depending on the weather of course. Then back to my (massive) apartment for hot drinks and then a party afterwards :) Very excited.

I just put my music on shuffle, since I have 44gb of it, and I haven't sorted through most of it yet. It is interesting, I like listening to new music, but I need to be in a certain mood for me to want to. If that makes sense. So, I may update to include my favourites :)
Movies! I have been trying to broaden my movie knowledge recently, so I have watched films like Wristcutters, Rocket Science, Bambi (I didn't have a childhood :P), The Other Boleyn Girl (don't ask, I like historical things), Big Fish and Casanova, while also watching ones I've seen before, namely Sweeney Todd andIn Bruges. So, I'm going to continue in this vein and before long, I'll be a complete buff :D

I promise to try and update more often! I will leave you with this.
