One thing I didn't quite know about University is what I am now referring to as 'Christmas University Blues'. What is it? Well, unless I find out otherwise, it begins about 2 weeks before the Christmas holiday/vacation/ break/whatever you want to call it! Everyone has essays to hand in, its been over 2 months at Uni, some haven't gone home yet, some [like me] have been back a few times, and some [not quite as common] have gone back practically every weekend. As most people should know once back to school clothing has been sold in October, shops rush to be the first to stock their shelves with Christmas lovelies ready for it, 2-3 months in advance. Then, around November decorations start to appear, lights begin to creep up out of nowhere and suddenly its Christmas, and 2 weeks til we leave and go home for a month! Holy moly! But why the blues? You've seen you're family and friends, and you've got 2 weeks til you go. WELL... Those 2 weeks seem to go slower than normal, and any enthusiasm or excitement about Uni begins to dissipate a little more [Don't get me wrong, you still have tonnes of fun] but with essays, work and in my case and the rest of the cast - pantomime rehearsals to get on top of first, and all of this together mixed in with the constant flashes of Christmas in shops, on campus, in your dreams, in your flat. EVERYWHERE. It becomes a little real where you are and you have a little bit of home sickness, and all you want to do is go home. At least this applies to my flat, and a few other people I know here anyway, and definitely myself... However I must admit I cannot deny that when it comes to it, and I'm back in my ol' hometown, and with my friends having a good time, popping down the pub, eating roasty's and receiving and giving presents, I'll start to miss being at Uni and those in it...WELL GOSH DARN IT, YOU CAN'T WIN!
Nevertheless I'm still having a bloody brilliant time at Uni, and I regret nothing [urgh, stupid Cliche Liam! Stupid cliche] ITS GONNA BE AWESOME.
