I'm a fellow commuter, haven't really met many people either, so you're not alone. It'd be so much easier if I lived right next to the uni.

I'm sure you'll find someone you click with in time; just 'put yourself out there' a little maybe.

Like marmite?

Well I'm the lone ranger!

I don't like the 25 anyways; it's far too packed!

Ask your SOAS mates to come with you?

It'd make the 9am lectures easier too! And the days when you only have one lecture. And the days when there are hours between lectures!

It is a bit odd, I don't live far off where it happened like 5 minutes or so, and I kept staring at the bus wondering how it could of happened. Plus the drivers are stupid I prefer the train!

It's worrying to think how easily it might have been us, or someone we know.

I couldn't bear to live in halls, or with other students. Nice one bedroom places are just so rare/expensive it just doesn't make sense to move out, though, I think I'll definitely have to by next year!

Lol I'm not comfortable with eating in public because my cousin used to make faces at me when I was younger and fat lol.

Oh, I used to not be able to eat around people, but meh, now I'm slightly better about it. I ate in the street (doughnuts) the other day, which was a fairly big thing for me!

I just didn't go because:

a) They were going to a pub.
b) I don't think I have anything in common with them.
c) I imagine that they were only being polite.

Though I imagine I should be careful, seeing as one of them happens to breeze through here every now and again.

Exactly. I have those types of days combined. A one-hour-lecture day, which starts at 9am...

I guess at least you get the rest of the day free; mine is in the middle of the day, so I'm pretty screwed before and after!
