Students have started turning up and claiming their rooms. I feel awkward for some reason.
I changed out of that horrid dress and into my comfy clothes before venturing back out to see who I would be living with for the next few years when a girl wearing a cheer leading outfit came charging past me chanting some incoherent verse, something about Llama’s, to a girl playing an arcade machine.



Trying to play it cool I casually wander over and gesture Hang Loose to her. Apparently that was not cool.
How embarrassing is that!
She gave me a quizzical look before charging off again.



I felt like such an idiot until I entered the cafeteria and there she was cheering to the poor old cook. ‘....gimme an L, gimme an A..’
Give me a Break!
I ate in the other room.



After having something to eat I headed over to my drum kit. I was itching to have a bash on them but some of the other students beat me too it. Putting a jar down and playing for money, on my instruments!
I was about to ask who the hell they thought they were when an elderly lady knocked at the door.
No-one else bothered to let her in so I went outside to greet her.



I introduced myself and she informed me she was one of the professors….bragged about it as a matter of fact.
I have no time for pretentious old biddies and I could only hope she wasn’t one of my professors. I turned to go back inside when another girl charged past me in all her natural glory. Arms waving madly in the air yelling ‘wooooo woooooooo’



Got the shock of my life! I think I laughed all the way to class.


Well I met 2 more professors and I’ve already been given an assignment to write on the world and everything that happened in it!
Excitement plus!

They’re still playing?
‘Hey! Hey you guys! Mind getting off my bass and drums…Hey!’
Oh this is not good. I can’t even hear myself think over this racket….is he meant to be dancing?



That isn’t even music!! I hope the walls are soundproof...
...Is that my….
‘Dad?.. what are you doing here?’
‘ah your mum sent me, wants to know you’re ok’
‘and you came in your uniform!’



‘This is so embarrassing…I’d expect this from Mum, Dad but not from you’
‘Give your mother a break Keir, you know she’s just worried about you, you know how she can be’
‘oh do I ever. This is so not cool Dad, I’m a big girl now.’
‘yeh well maybe you are but you’ll always be our little girl and we just wanna know you’re ok’
‘I’m fine Dad, just please….go home’
‘can I have a hug first…I’ve missed ya’
‘I haven’t even been gone a day!!!’



‘god, this is so embarrassing….can you go now…before someone sees’
‘I’m going, I’m going…but stay in touch ok’
‘I will just give me some space’

I can’t believe he did that. I wish the ground would just swallow me up right now.
Well what an interesting day that was!
Mental old men, streakers, my own father checking up on me dressed in his freaking space age uniform.



What sort of nightmares am I going to have when I fall asleep!
