Hello everyone! Just letting you all know that I made it to Ireland safe and well. The ferry didn't sink, I wasn't killed en route to Stranraer and I have thus far avoided being killed by bandits and ninjas.
So why have I neglected my journal for yet another week? The answer, my friends, is simple.
One, welcome week and commuting have both kept me exceptionally busy and two, I'm rather lazy. But you all know that already!
What I have been doing, however, is writing daily letters to Jason. They're basically accounts of what I've been up to each day, plus a crapload of waffling about how much I miss him and all the rest.
I'll post them up here for you all to read (the ones I've written, anyway) - though they're personal, this journal has always been rather personal in nature anyway and there's nothing in the letters that is too private. Plus, missing Jason - and indeed everyone back home - is all part of the university experience for me.
I hope everyone's doing fantastically, and I promise I'll get my act together soon! I'd hate to graduate after three years and have no record in my journal of the epic adventures between now and then!

Have you started back yet or was last academic year your third?
I'm back next Friday for freshers week, actual lectures start on October 10th (I think).
All's well on my end - I'm now in the land of the leprechauns as an undergrad and though things were a bit awry with finances and all that, everything's falling into place. I'm just adjusting to it all at the minute - still missing family and friends terribly, but I just have to get on with life, stay in touch and settle in properly :D
How be you?
Irish ninjas are so successful at what they do that they are impossible to see. This is for two reasons. One: they're grotesquely unpopular compared to their Japanese counterparts and two: they don't actually exist.
Baby June danced in Vegas for twenty years, living off a diet of hard, rolled oats and cigarettes she rolled from the old men's undershirts that convention-goers often lost at the gaming tables. On her usual Monday evenings off, she could be seen by The Desert Sans Hotel and Casino pool, practicing her back stroke across the painted sands.
All is going well so far - finance was a bit of an issue but thankfully I've been put onto the right people in the Students' Union to help me out now, so things should be okay. Actual work starts Monday and I'm so excited :DDDD
All very exciting :) I anticipate my first day will go well!
Much fun shall be had, I assure you :D The university is fantastic and there's so much going on on the extracurricular side, can't get my head around it all! I'm looking forward to throwing myself into university life when the finances come through.
Yeah, definitely jump and join something! I joined a community service fraternity my first semester at college, and it's been fantastic. Great way to meet people and feel helpful.
