I am writing this post on a Sunday evening, which also marks the first night of proper uni...aka no longer freshers week. This week has been so exhausting with so much going on. But let me first start with the build up to uni. Last Friday, the nerves of getting to uni were peaking and I was worrying about whether I would have a good time or not. However by the time Saturday came, I was so ready to move into my accommodation and I had felt like the last week went by so slowly, just waiting for move in day to arrive. With my car absolutely packed to the max, we finally made it to Bath and started to move everything into my room... I definitely over packed (like I did not need 5 fake plants). I did successfully get everything into my room, thanks to some very smart storage methods in my room! The first night was weird because we kind of went out as a flat (my flat shown above), but not everyone had arrived yet. It wasn't a hugely late night either, so it gave me a chance to settle into my new bedroom and get a decent nights sleep. Freshers week gives you the chance to try out so many new things; sports and societies. I have given lacrosse ago this week and what can I say, its actually pretty fun. Having never picked up a lacrosse stick in my life, I wasn't exactly a natural but I was successfully throwing and catching the ball, by the end. I have also been playing some netball and I managed to get selected into the development team after 4 hours of trials this morning... including playing centre for 8 different mini matches of 8 mins. I was pretty tired afterwards! Development netball is great because it isn't a huge commitment as training is 3 times a week but still get the social side of doing a team sport... it also doesn't interfere with any running training and will just supplement my fitness too. Most importantly onto running... well there isn't much to say because the running hasn't started yet, that all kicks off next week. I'm really excited for that. My running this week has been easy, as I really did not want to get ill, because I knew that would set me back for a lot longer. It is also great, because I have managed to find a good flat 6km run route, when I went out exploring on Monday. I am also only a 5 minute jog away from the local parkrun! The facilities here are insane and I am so grateful for them, the outdoor 400m and indoor straights track are amazing and can't wait to get on them for training! Anyway back to the events of freshers week. Each night was a different theme, which included things like glitter, neon, 70s, etc. and they were all good nights. I must admit, I was not out for all of them as I was just so tired and had trials some mornings and wanted to be okay for them. I will also be honest that I have not found uni the easiest thing, its scary and hard. I came into Bath not really knowing anyone that well and its tough, making new friends is hard, because you want to find people you will get along with for a long time. I never imagined getting the slightest bit homesick, but I have.
I can't wait to start lectures tomorrow and really get into a routine of what my weeks will consist of. I love being busy which is why this last week has also been tough, because you actually have so much free time and then thats when I just start to over think and worry about things unecessarily.
