#oneaday? I give it two weeks.

For reasons which I have yet to discover, I’ve put my hat in the ring to become an “AberInsider” blogger from September, where (if I’m picked, which I’m sort of hoping won’t happen because I’m not known for my commitment skills) I’ll be blogging about the experience of university.  This is my entry:

The “summer holiday” feeling has finally set in for the first time in four years. I’ve got no coursework, no stressful job hunt circa summer 2008, really no responsibilities at all other than twelve hours of work a week and trying not to set the house alight whilst I’m left alone in it.

Despite the fact I’m finally in the position I’ve wanted to be since I was 14 (secure job, university place, actually a legal adult who can buy alcohol and everything), I’ve still got a feeling of guilt that I’m not doing anything progressive with all this ample free time. So, after a conversation with a UCAS lady explaining that I lost my AS12 letter and no, I hadn’t started university yet, and yes, I’d be really careful with the new one, I headed off to sort out a student bank account.

Don’t scroll down expecting an essay – it was a piece of cake. In half an hour (printing problems notwithstanding) I was given a rather nice overdraft and a student credit card (which we will not be telling my parents about and I will not be using except for in an emergency, honest) and sent on my merry way, checking my balance on the way out and laughing all the way to the bus stop. 

Now, if only I could get my course’s reading list and have something to procrastinate over…

Oh, and in true clichéd style, I found my original AS12 twenty four hours after grovelling for a new one. Typical.

Things I chose to omit from the above:

• It’s the day before payday and I am SO VERY POOR #properadultfail

• My banking adventures included a visit to Nationwide and a rather uncomfortable half an hour breathing through my mouth because the advisor absolutely reeked of fag ash, only to be told they wouldn’t be offering me a current account. Wankers.

• I’m very much terrified at the prospect of being left in Wales to fend for myself. I might die.

Things which I really bloody want to buy tomorrow:

• The OPI Summer Flutter mini set. Forget want, I NEED it!

• Lush Fizzbanger – popping candy in a bathbomb, what more could you want?

• Every single Model’s Own nail shade, especially the pink glitter one. Sigh.
