A month anniversary!

It's been a month since I first moved into the Halls of Residence
Time really has past so quickly, but at the same time...I feel like it should go a bit faster?
I really can't wait until Christmas when I'll be going home for the first time since moving here...
Is that bad? XD

I haven't updated in a while - I'm sorry T_T
Guess I should pretty much summarise my time here so far?

Well I guess the first week was just me adjusting to the whole living independent thing
And I really didn't make any friends in the first week until the Friday XD (I'm socially awkward after all *putting myself in a box*)
Well the Friday was a little fair thing for people living in the Halls to meet each other and make friends
At first I was really awkward since I was by myself and I saw everyone else has probably already made friends (or the ones that haven't made any friends are just staying in their rooms)
So I was walking around - got an caricature of myself done - and then lined up to get food (the real reason why I decided to go in the first place XD)
As I was standing there, my eyes met this asian guy and he came over to introduce himself to me
I thought he was a bit odd but at least I had someone to talk to I wasn't a loner :P
He then introduced me to the rest of his friends and we just hung out together
Went on the dodgems a couple of times, got some freebies (mostly leaflets though...)
And got a balloon squirrel made (decided on squirrel because of my current obsession with BTOB *minhyuk*)

Then the Saturday they asked me whether I wanted to go out with them, and since I really had nothing to do and needed to socialise more, I decided to go
We went to eat at a Korean restaurant (bloody expensive and customer service was terrible, but I got to hear Gangnam Style twice [first time in UK] and MBLAQ!)
Then we just walked up and down the streets - a little incident involving the smallest of the group crying because the others were talking about her being a violent drunk - and also met a girl who was also from the same city as me (haven't seen her since though)

After that....I haven't seen them since (maybe bumped into a couple of them and said hi and stuff) so there goes me making friends XD
Although on the next monday (a week from moving in) I met up with a guy who was part of the group and did a similar course to me
So we've pretty much became friends (I'm not friendless after all!)

Also should talk about my flatmates
Well the one in Room 1 moved in on the same day as me and he's a nice kid, but I'm not too keen on his friends which is why I haven't tried to hang out with him
Then Room 3 guy moved in a few days after and I found he extremely creepy (though he was like 40 at first) and I kinda still do find him creepy...so I don't talk to him unless I have to - although I do say hi (sometimes) when I see him
Room 4 then moved in and it was a female this time (woo! not alone XD) but she's form Nigeria and I don't see her around much, so far I think she's pretty nice and I don't mind her
Room 5 and 6 then came on the same night (a guy and girl) they're both also from Nigeria, the girl seems a bit stuck up and doesn't know how to work the oven (like seriously) or the internet
The guy....was very friendly at first (he's only 17, bless him) and he always talked to me when I saw him, until...that day he bought a friend and introduced me to him as his "girlfriend" and I pretty much spat back "I'm not your girlfriend" (I was pissed off at the time since the wi-fi was playing up the whole day) and since then he hasn't been talking to me as much XD although there was an improvement last night (he seem quite depressed but I didn't want to prod)
So I'm not really buddy buddy with my flatmates and I'm still pretty much friendless except for the guy who I walk to the campus with sometimes

I have, however, joined the anime and manga club (don't judge me) after searching for other clubs I couldn't really find one that really interested me
I wanted to join karate but damn guy who I walk to campus with joined it already and I really didn't feel like joining after I knew...
The SAM (society of anime and manga) didn't put up a stall at the fresher's fair so I had to email them
Then I went looking for them last Monday to sign up - couldn't find them at first, but when I eventually did I was surprised to see them all being Indian (ok I kinda judged them based on their looks) and wondered whether I should join or not as I didn't want to be the only girl and be surrounded by Indians (I'm sorry for being shallow T_T)
But I put that aside, and decided to talk to the main guy (the others left) and then I found him to be a friendly guy, then another guy (from Sweden) was also signing up and he joined our discussion of all things anime
One of his friends joined us again and an asian girl (who's the treasurer) also joined
In the end I thought it wouldn't hurt to join and it seem really cool (it might've been the fact that he said that we'll be going to the MCM Expo that made me want to join XD)
So I guess the moral of the story is "don't judge the book by it's cover" and don't stereotype people and be racist (I'm sorry T_T)
There hasn't been a meet-up since then (so I don't know who else joined and who the members are) but we are going to the MCM Expo on Sunday! :D

I guess that's all for now...
I guess I could write about Asda and Tesco and familiarising myself with the place but it's not that interesting

I'll try and update more often (not a promise) but I'd like to look back at these in the future to find how stupid I was :P
