Uni Life - Cheeky Lamby - a year and a half wiser (or dumber?)

Hi Fellow Bloggers

Finally, Cheeky Lamby has come back to Blogger - sorry for The Rock reference there (for how long this time I don't know hahaha). The last time I wrote a blog was just before I came to York Uni to start a four year course in Chemistry and I must say times sure have changed between now and then, and I myself think that I have sure grown during the (nearly) two years I have been at York Uni.

When I left college I was ready to embrace the Uni world and to become, like thousands of other people in the UK, a student (aka alcoholics, test subjects in clinic trials, party goers, disco lovers, sex driven, and occasional workers). I am not going to lie, my first few weeks (and in general my first term) were very hard for me without a doubt. Uni was a work shock, a huge liftstyle change (as it is not easy leaving all your friends and hobbies back at home to start anew with virtually strangers) and a big culture shock, as I had never gone out clubbing properly or even really drunk alcohol and got drunk.

I have now thankfully got over that extremely difficult period, made lots of new friends and am having the time of my life. In revisiting my blog I found this written in an unfinished blog entry (and this blog continues on from that, hence why it is dated at December 2010 and not early 08th April 2011). This is shown below:

"Helloooooooo Fellowwww Bloggers :)

It has been a while since I have written a blog this year, because for the last 10 weeks or so I have been at the University of York studying for a degree in Chemistry :) Woop Woop

During the 10 weeks that I have stayed at York Uni, I have been to acquire a bigger uderstanding from the way that people act at my age to the reason why many people who go to University drop out within their first term. As a result I decided to write this new blog, in order for me to convey my new understandings and experiences that I have gained in just under 10 weeks.

I obviously due to revision in the Christmas period and other reasons never got back to this blog (I am currently trying to revise now whilst writing this blog - hugeeeee fail that is hhahaha). I wish I had finished that blog as well as it would have been very interesting to how I first reacted to Uni life.

So what has changed? That's the big question

- I am now a Shodan-Ho in GKR (a provisional black belt in my Karate style)
- I have been drunk a few times (wayyyy :/ haha)
- I am now House Manager of YSC at York Uni (a fantastic student run society at York Uni)
- I am a drummer for York University Concert Band, and
- I have on a few occasions been drunk (oh dear)

Times are looking good though and I hope the rest of my time at Uni will as good (if not better) than my first year and a bit at uni :)

Don't really think I have anything else to say right now so chou for now (and don't revise too hard now)

Stay Happy
Cheeky Lamby
