Lewis Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Know there are a few other people + family members off to Uni over the last/coming few weeks - hope everyone is settling in ok Arrived in Aberystwyth yesterday - met a few of my housemates. Went to the freshers BBQ + then the Student Union last night Its so scary + wierd living here, away from home + everyone/everything!! Been texting everyone + already spoke to Mom a few times - bit worried I think Had a fire alarm go off at 4am today, outside in the freezing cold they moved us to a reception, then back after half an hour... Think it was some sort of towel caught on fire. Then, another one go off at 11am ... I was in the shower! Got dressed + went outside, this was just a false alarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Have a lovely time settling in Lewis and take care.xxx Tell your mum that if the house feels empty I'll send my 'teenager' up to stay with her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Glad you're settling in, Lewis . My ES is home at the moment and seems a lot happier (he's not saying much but I'm getting that general impression ). I think you've hit the nail on the head with your comment .. Its so scary + wierd living here, away from home + everyone/everything! Hope it all gets less scary and wierd very soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Have a look in CRAFT once you've settled in. It's a second hand / recycling shop on the station platform. It's has some good stuff & is very interesting to have a nosey at. Oh & if you get a nice day, The Hut on South Beach is nice to sit & have ice cream. Curry night - Thursdays at Wetherspoons, Lidl & Iceland are round that way too. You'll be fine! Just get making some of your home brew! Oh & if you're still scared in a couple or so weeks, remember we are coming there. So can buy you a pint & talk chickens. A bit of normality for you!

Valkyrie Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Just remember do not put your towel to dry in the oven. Or call Space Chicky over for a visit first and then she can see her firemen! Hope it's better from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaP Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Glad you're settling in ok Lewis. My ES and DD will be doing the same this time next year and I'm sure they'll find it exciting and strange at the same time Lisa P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 It will all probably seem 'normal' to you soon. From what I can remember when DD went there for her first year she threw herself into so many different groups and things. My DD really misses being at uni (actually she's back up there now visiting her boyfriend who is continuing with his architecture degree - so many years !!). Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll soon settle right in Lewis, time will fly by and then you wont want to leave Just remember you are there for another reason than just having fun (that's the mother in me speaking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Thanks everyone Lost my flatmates in the Union + went back to some other peoples houses, attempted to sleep there but then got back at 6 ... have a welcome speech thing in half an hour We noticed Craft but didn't know what it was ... there are chickens living in a house over the road from uni up the hill - can see them from the road! We walked past a clothes shop + there was a cat in the window!! Got a photo, will try + put it on later Has she decided which course yet Sarah? So far I've 'cooked' noodles, a tuna sandwich + cheese sandwich .. in 3 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I remember someone in our family having a book which entirely consisted of different ways to cook mince (or Quorn and soya can be adapted for veggies) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I used to have a cookbook called Grub on a Grant it was brilliant - it gave loads of recipes from beans on toast, to entertaining a group of people, to entertaining and impressing a potential partner it told you what pans you need and what dishes and utensils are useful i think you might need a copy of it Lewis cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I've got both books somewhere! Grub on a grant was brilliant. I think it even had a birthday cake etc in it. Tuna pasta bake with cheese & crunched up crisps on the top was a dish I remember. Mmm Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Just got in from the SU quiz ... we got 41/60 Just munched some cheese on toast - I can cook, just can't be bothered + haven't had time! Tuna bake + crisps sounds good Have told all the flatmates I'll cry if they buy battery eggs or chicken When I mentioned my 'chicken friends' I got a few funny looks Have bought wayy too much stuff with me, kitchen stuff + that. Unpacked most things earlier so its looking tidier ... Omlet calendar is yet to go up - need to buy a hook from town + some cellotape to put a collage Nat made me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
