The world of farlie

So another freshers week is over. I said I was going to have a quieter freshers week and with the number of nights I went out that was true. I only went out 4 out of the 7 nights compared to my standard 6 out of 7 nights. But fuck me did I have some good nights.

Monday night me and some of the lads decided to head to Studio. When myself, Glenston, David, Richie and Craig got there we were informed pints were a pound at Long Bar so headed downstairs. Do you know the feeling when the banter is not flowing? Well unfortunately it started like that. Luckly we started playing save the queen. This is basically when someone drops a penny in your drink you have to down the drink to save the queen from drinking. Bacause we were all drinking pints of cider or beer we naturally got shit faced.

I ended up having to walk David drunk back to his flat. As usual David blamed how drunk he was completely on me. Thanks David. I had promised Marie that I would walk her home that night from Fraser flats too so I then headed back there. Took like 20 minutes to find her but we headed back and when we got in I recognised this girl. Turns out she is my neighbour in the next flat and we can see each other from our windows. Ended up in there flat drinking some interesting drink. Finished the night with me and Glenn waking everyone up at 3.30 in the morning and so we hid in the toilet when they come out to complain.

Tuesday I woke up with a bastard of a hangover. Luckily Gavin and Egger come over to the flat with bottles of wine in the afternoon so the three of us could drink our hangovers away. We got the banter, talked of old stories from school, exchanged penis sizes and drunk 4 bottles of wine. We then thought we should go to the studio to drink some pitchers of beer. It should be also noted egger was still wearing the same clothes from clubbing the night before!

While at the studio we drunk 4 pitchers of beer each which equals 16 pints. So with that on top of the 4 bottles of wine we decided to join a meeting for foreign students. We found it so interesting we appauled and cheered at the end. Unforunately the night was going to go down hill from there... Gavin bought us tickets to a 300 ticket sold out comedy night in Glow. From the minute we entered we decided we did not like the comedian. While everyone else appauled we laughed sarcastly at him and jeered that he wasn't funny. We started taking shots of Old Inverness Whisky and Gavin I sat on the floor and tried baddly to get the banter with 2 random girls. At this point we were told nicely it was probably best if we left...

So we headed back to studio for more shots. Egger stole someones hat which I took a shine too and chased Egger aronud for it. I spoke to David who told me recently my words were to slurred to make out what I was saying. He also said while he was at comedy night there were people being drunken idiots at the back. When I told him that was us, he was shocked that it was only 3 of us making the noice. Gavin, Egger and myself all left the pub at seperate times by ourselves. I staggered of back home and threw up in my sleep everywhere you could think of in my room. Egger made it back to the same club he was at last night with the same clothes too, but stunk so badly of booze. Gavin randomly jumped on a citylink bus and asked them to drop him of at John Forties which they did! He then started urinating in his sink in his bedroom while throwing up in it too!

Wedensday night I went to Flat36 for a party. It was good banter. I only see those guys either in classes or when I am totally shitfaced - so it was nice to just hangout and drink with them socially. We played a mammoth game of fuck you with 2 packs of card and I drunk the potion which was 4 pints large! I'll try and get some photos of that night up on bebo and myspace.

Thursday night Glenn, David and I went to Studio to meet Amy and Sophie. It was nice and relaxed until I started to speaking to some ignorant poltics student who was insanely drunk. There is no way I can write how badly this guy behaved. I left the pub by myself after calling him a ignorant cunt when he excused me of gassing the jews as I studies business. Idiot. It was a funny way to finish freshers, but I still enjoyed it completely!

Right although it isnt over - it is for everyone else who does not go to Stirling University. This basically means it is for me too. So I'll give a wee review of the high's and low's of Christmas holiday 06/07.

The first half of the holiday was amazing. I had a tough semester academically so didn't go straight back to work which was great. Christmas eve in Fortrose was brilliant and got a bit drnk. Christmas day was great too and just stayed in with the family. Went out with Lucy sometime between that and Hogmany which was great banter. Hogmanny was v good too - looked like it would be a quiet night but ended up in the hall and at Don and Lindys later on. New year day at the Hoggs which was cool too.

After all this I took the train with Richie and met up with Amy and Glenn. Spent just under a week in Hawick which was lots of fun. Went to the driving range a couple of times and basically chilled out at Amys with the dudes. Went out Friday and Saturday night and continued my tradition of saying I wouldn't get drunk while at Amys and in the end getting smashed. Good decked at pool to Lindsay which sucked but hey you can't win it all.

But when I got back things started getting shit. Everyone went back to uni and I was left to a prospect of working in the office for over a month. This led to my decision to go back to uni early and worked double hours at the office to remove 2 weeks of my contract. I am heading back a week today. On thursday I have tons of stuff to do in town including getting measured for my 21st bday pressie of a new Davidson kilt.

There have been parts of the holiday that sucked. The January blues after Hawick sucked. Also in December there was a fight in Fortrose which was shit and as the police were involved I had to make a statement and everything. But apart from that everything is as been sound. To top it all of I also got my grades back from last semester - 2a, 2b, 2b. Tip top stuff and am totally looking forward to next semester!

All my blogs go on blogger. But not all of them reach myspace or bebo. It's normally really good ones or ones to boost my ego. Also as far as I know people really only view my blogs from myspace and bebo. So thinking about it, I can leave whatever I want on here.

If you look over my old blogs they start pretty much exactly a year ago. I'm not sure how close to the anniversary I am but its close. I will write a large blog for all my blogs on the next describing my holiday just before going back to university but I just wanna write a wee one now.

If you look at my posts from a year ago they are talking in a very depressed manner. I don't blame myself for doing it. I had split up with the only girl I had ever loved and messed around fairly badly it all for the majority of the semester. I thought that was why! But I am low again now. Not like last year, my life is fantastic - but I still feel low. And I don't know why!

Yes there is the January blues. The weather is crap. And yes all the festitive fun is gone. But there is alot of times in the year like that, and they don't effect me like this! So what is it? Last year I didnt get better until I went back to university. That will probably be the cure and I am already starting to find ways to leave work sooner, but it still will be a while. I just think about things that aren't quiet my way at the moment and it is putting me in a poor mood.

Amy told me on hogmanny that this would be the year of Charlie. She also told me at the start of third year that I would probably get into another long term relationship around about this time. That will all most likely happen. Im already on the track moving to it. But its that wee blue moment getting there. I need to work things out before I can get there I guess. Thats the thing about being home now. You have the time to think but can not implement it as your not in the right environment. I guess I will have to wait until uni.

I hate work by the way. It depresses me just thinking about it. haha. I don't know if it is one of the cases where I have done enough in the past where I would affect my future by being an arse and doing things to make myself feel better. Or if it is one of the cases where I need to knackle down to get past this difficult period. I'll ask Amy, she'll tell me to look after myself - I know the answer already. I'm going to go back early. Wow I worked all that out while typing. I'll go back early spend some late mornings with coffee and go to the gym all the time. Ill aim for the turn of the month. Just gotta break it to the family...

Right Im back home in Cromarty for Chirstmas so be prepared for more blogs now I have lots of time on my hands again. I have been inspired to write a highlights of this semester as David has done one and also as I did one for the summer. So here we go:

The very first night back
Myself, Amy, Glenn, Richie, Hazel and Elyse (new american flatmate) all went out to The Studio. It was Glenns 22nd so we got him smashed before going out and he was already sick by 6oclock. Was pretty drunk by the walk home. I made out with our new flatmate Elyse even though I promised everyone I wouldnt. Erm oh yeah and Glenn streaked across the golf course.

Drunkiest I got
I got soooo smashed on Halloween. I drunk a single beer before switching to wine. For some reason I drunk like 2 bottles of white and a bottle of red by the end of the night. Was down at Davids flat at their party and the majority of that was a blur. David toke me home and I locked him out of the flat. I also fell through my door and when all my flat came to see what had happened all I could say was that I was sober. Amy and Glenn cleaned up my sick in the toilet that night. Truly horrendous hangover next day but somehow managed to play my best performance of the season for The Murray Madmen at 5 lol.

Other rather drunk nights
Midouri night
We went to The Studio for a drink and as they were doing a midouri night we made a night of it. I got so drunk on the stuff and remember chasing Kat around the Studio with icecubes. Ended the night trying to persuade Kat and Elyse to have a threesome and almost suceeded lol.

Random Alter:Ego
Alter:Ego was basically shit and we have stopped going. To try and combat this I got wasted at one of them. Left everyone and went home myself. Somehow fell asleep in Amys bed. But still managed to go to play badminton with Craig for 10 the next morning.

The Beat
All the flat minus Ollie as well as David, Gavin and May went to the Med then onto the Beat. Not many events there but got pretty smashed. At end of night I was shouting out the window to David. I also beat up and Craig and tried to kick him in the face. Majorly pissed off half of Ali Court by our screaming. Was in the library at 9 the next morning to do tutorial work lol.

Mandy Mays 21st
I was persuaded by Elyse to go with her and Hazel to Mays 21st and we all got minced before going out on shots. It was a good night but when everyone went to the studio at the end of the night I walked a girl called Hannah home as she was Ali court too and we both wernt in the mood for the studio.

Night after International Business Exam
Myself, Craig, Glenn and David all went out to the Studio after our first exam. I tried to get David drunk while he tried to get me drunk. After lots of pints and shots myself, Glenn and David were all fucked and Craig drove home sober. The three drunk three went back to Davids to argue who was the most sober. Sorry flat38.

Two day binge after last exam
With the Studio tried to get rid of its stock before the end of the semester all drunks were ridicously cheap. After my last exam I toke full advantage of this with a two day session. On the Friday Elyse and myself went out and got so fucked it was crazy. Almost fell down the stairs walking up to the flat. Saturday same thing happened with Amy and Glenn. Glenn was wasted and was cleaning tables for steward at the end of the night. chasing rabits on campus and being sick alot.

Acadmic side
First of all - the work load increases alot in third year. For my subjects there was basically three stages to them. Essays, presentation work/group work and finally exams. The first ones I got back were the essays and I didnt do great with weak 2:1 grades or 2:2 grades and naturally was worried a bit. But when I got my presentation work/ group work I was getting first grades with 1B's and 1C's. Exams all went very well minus one Business in East Asia essay so Im quietly confident. Well I hope so...

Right I'll keep this small as I am far to lazy at blogging while at uni. Here is a quick and basic blog on what I have done at uni since freshers week. I'll skip the snowballing challenge as I have already put a blog in about that.

In first year we went out all the time. In second year we went out less. Unfortunately we have fucking loads of work and because of this I have got hardly any drunken stories to tell. The ones I can think of are:
1. Free shots of midori in Studio and I got shit faced on about 15 of them. I chased Kat around the Union all night with ice from up at the bar. Not good.
2. One Alter:Ego I drunk a very large amount of booze and it was a miracle I was not sick. I managed to take myself home as I left everyone - what I normally do when I am that drunk. Some how I managed to fall asleep in Hamiltons bed before she kicked me out.
3. My worst night this year though has been on Halloween. OH DEAR!!! I drunk a single bottle of beer before consuming almost 3 bottles of wine! I was shit faced. I was down at Davids flat and, although I dont remember it, I was chatting away to all his flatmates who I barely know. This is bad enough, but when these are all attractive young ladies it makes it worse. David took me home I believe - Amy and Glenn cleaned up bathroom after me. What a hangover the next day but I still played the best game of the season for the madmen haha!

I am tired now so shall stop writing!
