sleep
I slept an insane amount yesterday.. I came home from uni and had a nap at 2pm. I didn't wake up till 8pm at least... Then I had some dinner and went back to bed. Didn't wake up till 9am this morning. Crazy town!

It's my first day!
Actually, I lie. Yesterday was my first day.. Today is my second day. Tomorrow will be my third day.
"First day of what?" You might ask..
"You knowwwwww." I will smile in response.
"Um.. No?", you will reply blankly.
"Oh.." I will probably stutter, "University."
"Ohh Ok."
Anyway.. Let me tell you about my first day of UNIVERSITY! My Bachelor of Visual Communication Design to be exact.
I arrived super early thinking it would take me forever to find my first class. WRONG! I found it within three minutes and spent the next 45 watching other people find it within three minutes. There was this moment where I was thinking to myself, "I feel like I'm at school.. Except I don't have to wear any clothes [Insert 5 second delay] I mean Uniform!" Then I started laughing to myself and looking like an insane person.
Later that day I went to my first Drawing lecture. (Samara, if you're reading this I want you to know I am pronouncing it the CORRECT way - Draw-ing. Not draw-ring.) I'm so excited and terrified of this class! A sensation heightened by our lecturer announcing that we have 65 self-portraits to come up with in the next 12 weeks. Graaahhh! I don't actually need to panic though. I think they just want us to get over ourselves and get into drawing regularly and experimenting. Which is great!
I then trekked into town to buy art supplies. NOTE: Art supplies are friggin expensive!
Now my second day of Uni has looked like this so far:
8:55 - Wake up. Realise I'm supposed to be at my first lecture in 5 minutes and swear loudly.(sorry kiddies)
9:11 - Watch the bus pulling up to the bus stop... Run like crazy to catch it.
9:12 - Tell the bus driver I love him. Receive a blank stare from the bus driver. Laugh awkwardly, dip my ticket and sit down.. Up the back.
9:19 - Wander anxiously around the GP building looking for the right room. Team up with a girl who is looking for the same room and wander together.
9:20 - Open a door nervously and peek in. Close it again and ask the girl if she thinks this is the right room.
9:21 - Open the door again. Ask the lecturer if this is indeed room 201. Yes it is.
9:21 and 20 seconds - Commence the 'walk of shame' before 50 people to our seats.
10:10 - FIND A TOILET!
11:00 - Sit in this little cafe writing this blog.
11:01 - Wonder if our shared experience of the 'walk of shame' means that girl and I are friends?
Tonight I will set my alarm properly.. Actually I don't have Uni tomorrow so stuff that.

Also.. A letter to the Goonion:
Dear Goonion,
I am writing to thank you for your kind invitation to join the Goonion for the low, low price of six dollars. In the mass of stalls that filled the Brennan Room, I could have easily walked past the giant, red "I HEART GOON" flag that emblazoned yours had you not offered a friendly hand of help and guidance to me today. I too appreciate the majesty that is Goon and feel excited about all it has to offer the students of Newcastle University, not only this year but in the years to come. I believe there is great potential for Goon to have a wide reaching influence throughout our country.
But unfortunately and tragically, I cannot accept your offer.. As I am staying the heck away from Goon.. Forever.
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
Hannah.

New
O.k it's high time I got off my lazy horse and wrote a post.
It has been approximately one week since I moved to Newcastle.. I just attempted to draw a little picture of my flat in paint but it was excruciating.. and my graphics tablet is being naughty.. So I gave up.
This flat is basically 2 rooms.. One dedicated to the bedroom (it's massive.. so I can chuck some couches in here at some point too) and the other is the kitchen/dining room. There also is a teeny bathroom off that room..
I've got everything I need now pretty much. SO HAPPY to finally have a fridge.
I'm liking it so far :) I have never lived alone before! I'm sure I will get lonely at some point.
Anyway! I've applied for a thouussaannnddd (in a Chris Cuddy voice) jobs in the last week. No luck yet though. Thats alright.
It's O WEEK PEOPLES! APPARENTLY THAT'S EXCITING! I'm not exactly sure what I am supposed to do in this week or where I am supposed to go...
So.. yep. Bit uninspired as to what else to write.. So I might go. Just a bit brain dead I think.
