I got up at 9 this morning because I had a creative writing lecture at 10. Man I was so tired! had breakfast with Ellie then got a text from Matt asking if I wanted to walk with him, so I said I'd meet him outside my hall in 10. Got all my crap together and got out the door and met Matt, we walked together and got the the already full Creative Writing class, we managed to find two seats next to each other though so we sat there and waited for the teacher. All this time, the class was getting fuller and fuller, over 10 people didn't have seats! Finally, about 5 minutes late, the lecturer turned up. He apologised to us and said admin had messed up, this was meant to be a drop in session for questions, not a proper lesson. We were all so annoyed! So we got up and left, I wasn't sure if my Journalism lesson would be the same so just to be safe me and Matt had an hour to kill. We looked around the library, the gym (he wants to join but it's expensive and to me, gyms scare the shit out of me!) and then we sat in the library for a bit and tried to read a Japanese paper (he knows an impressive amount of Japanese!).
When it was 10 to 11, I headed off to lesson and he headed home. We did have a lesson after all, I sat with the girls I met yesterday, it was a lesson based around newspapers. Newspaper journalism is my least favourite part of the subject but of course you have to do it. I really don't enjoy it but hey, I knew this was going to happen. One of the lecturers, who used to work in the Mail, is an absolute arse in my opinion. I like the other one though, haven't learnt their names yet, woops! It might be because he slightly reminds me of Jeff Goldblum and that guy is just awesome for so many reasons. But he doesn't seem like an arse at all, he just seems, well, nice! And more positive than the other one. We did a quiz type thing on what different newspaper jargon meant. Not too hard, got 7 out of 10, though we did work in pairs. For the final part of the lesson, the main head of Journalism (I think) had a talk with us. He had a written out speech and everything. My GOD it was boring! He went on for what seemed like ages! He came across as the biggest nob going. Not even kidding. Bloody newspaper writers always seem to be eh? It was such a depressing speech, he might has well have posted on the wall YOU WON'T GET A JOB! In massive letters. He was saying you won't get a job in Journalism with this degree, you need experience, etc. I know that. But in my opinion, people seem to get "where they are today" by sheer luck 80% of the time. So yeah, the boring quiz just scared the shit out of me, making me think I'm going to be stuck in a dead end job for the rest of my life, thanks alot! Very helpful in your first week! At least the other guy finished the lesson with "well done for getting here, you guys had great results, you needed the highest results than any other department, so you can do it.". That kind of helped things I suppose.
The rest of today I'm just going to chill out I think, I don't want to go out tonight, I'm knackered and there's not much going on really. I'm thinking, pizza, chips and corn for dinner, a shower either before or after dinner then I'll watch one of the films Alex leant me. Need to get watching them before he moans at me!
