    You have a picture in your profile! I'm pretty short with cropped brown hair (getting it cut next week so I don't know how short it'll be!). I'll be wearing/carrying a red coat and a small black suitcase.

    I'm back on the 9th for the pre-term Cheesy Pop.
    I'll probably be the only one in my flat!

    I'm getting back tomorrow. Home has started to be **** but I wanted to spend a bit longer with free food for a week (which, if I'd gone up at the start of the week, would probably have cost me around £20-£25 for a full week's shop). Bit sadistic to say it, but I can't wait to get away from here and my parents.

    I fear it is just me.

    Re: University of Glasgow blether thread
    why are you not looking forward to getting back?

    I honestly think that if I wasn't in the medical school and part of the kind of community that we have going on there I wouldn't enjoy uni half as much

    Really?

    I do English Lit and History and I still feel like I'm part of a community even if it is a massive one! Lol!

    I think living in Murano is great - I've made far more friends than I expected too - we're like one huge family in my block (apart from Flat C who are weird =P)

    I can't wait to see them all again and have lots of partytimes

    I'm not overly enthused about heading back to Glasgow because here I've got a huge circle of friends who I know really well and could chat to endlessly. At Uni, having only been there 3 months, I haven't yet met enough people or had the time to grow the sort of friendships that I have back home, so I don't have as much to look forward to up there as I do down here.

    Also, apart from the social aspect of living with so many people your own age, life in halls can be a pain at times.

    I know a few people who feel a bit like you. I love my friends at home as well and I was even a bit worried about seeing them again at Christmas because I felt guilty for not keeping in touch but we all sort of just fell into place again

    What are you studying mister? And which halls are you in?
