Back To Reality

Where did my three and half month break vanish too?

I swear it was only last week that I completed my end of year exams, the weather warmed up to a bearable temperature and Clearing started! I really cannot believe that induction time has rolled around once again and my lectures commence next week. Even though I am facing my second year of University with great trepidation due to the lack of studying I have done over summer, I can safely say my main fear and anxiety lies with the weather.

The past few weeks has produced nothing but crazy weather. One minute the sun is out, the birds are singing and the squirrels are doing whatever squirrels do best; the next minute nothing but high winds, battering rains, and angry looking wet squirrels. I am slowly packing on the layers of clothing, no joke! Whilst people are still running around in their little tank tops and miniskirts (sporting their fresh I’ve just had carotene poisoning spray on tans), I’m beginning to look like a Fashionista Eskimo. Yes, I used the word Fashionista. I am a firm believer that even though I may be dressed in 5 layers of clothing, I should always look presentable and be coordinated. None of this multi coloured, I am simply wearing every piece of clothing I own and don’t care business for me!! This brings me on to my next point…..Fuggs!

I must apologise in advance for my ramblings to anyone who so happens to own a pair or heaven forbid several pairs of the so-called footwear known on the commercial market as Fuggs. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am an advocate for warm, cosy feet… however I draw the line at counterfeit rubbish such as Fuggs, which do not look good and also causes great damage to the wearer’s feet. It is beyond me how a person can feel comfortable walking around with their feet clearly sliding around in their footwear, to a point where they are no longer walking on the heel/soling portion of their boot but rather on the side or back portion. And, do not get me started on the very interesting combination of Fuggs and rain! The only words or word that flashes before my mind is: “Why?”

In conclusion to my Fuggs ramblings; if you must own a pair of fluffy furry I’m wearing my dead pet boots (because if you don’t the world will surely end immediately), either save up for a pair of original bank busting UGGS, or, alternatively try to find a trusted brand which will be kind to your feet, are waterproof and will last you through several winter seasons… not just the week!!

Well I’m running off now… It’s Fresher’s Week and Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is currently filming on campus!!!! I’m going to have lunch with Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp… Yay me! Lol… in my dreams :o) There is so much going on at University right now and I don’t want to miss a minute of the fun!!
