So I've been in University now for little over three weeks, and now I'm wondering if I'm going to enjoy the rest of the year. Part of me thinks that this is just "Little Fish, Big Pond" Syndrome, but then another part of me wonders if I'm actually going to enjoy the type of Uni I'm in. I have not made that many friends yet, and I did not go out,much, in my freshers week for that reason. Not to mention the fact that it feels like the majority of the place I'm in seem to all know each other from college or secondary school. I'm making some friends in my subject department but I'm still not 100% comfortable around them. It isn't that they aren't nice people, but I just feel awkward around them. This isn't a bad thing though, I don't mind being on my own (God that sounds creepy)
My subject isn't exactly easy either. Its a mix of history and medieval literature, which means I have to learn a lot of medieval languages. I was aware of what I'd have to do but I had no clue about the jump in difficulty from A-Level to a BA. The assignments I'm given are leaving me in a slight daze of confusion and apathy. Although I do realize that obviously things aren't going to click straight away and I've always been the person who picks things up pretty quickly, so being in this situation is an unfamiliar one.
Anyway! Its still early days yet so I'm not exactly going to drop out just because the work is hard. I like a challenge also I'll probably find people I like, somewhere...I always find someone on my wavelength who's a bit mad...
I just wanted to write this just because.
Thanks for reading,
Rhodri
well good luck with that, coz it sounds like a lot of essay writing to me (Not a fan of essays)
