I am just SO happy right now. I've been sitting in my new room in my new house at my new uni since friday without the internet and without being able to call people outside the university on my telephone. So i've been totally in isolation.
Argh, and I ate mouldy bread an hour ago. Argh.
So I prepared for this moment fully by writing a long long long blog post in notepad about what i've been doing for the past couple of days. I suggest reading it in sections or you shall get bored. So I'm gonna post it bit by bit.

FRIDAY
I figured a couple of people would want to know what I’m up to at the moment so here is my temporary-before-I-actually-have-internet-access blog post.
I miss home; actually it’s less of me missing home and more of me wishing I was anywhere else but here. No, I’m exaggerating; it’s really not that bad… Left home at 7am Friday morning, arrived in Berra at about 11am. They said they didn't have a room for me yet and to come back in an hour so the family and I walked around the Uni for a bit, i withdrew some money (which I haven't actually spent yet) and I bought two of my text books. I bought my Management one and my Marketing one, each of them was $105.95 but I ended up EFTPOSing my Keycard, something i've never done before but will probably end up being very handy. Have to carry around less cash. Anyway we meandered back up to the Hut and asked them if I had a room yet, father paid a truckload of money (all the while complaining that it was more expensive than mitchell's accommodation - might I point out to the jury that as I was choosing my accommodation he said "I don't mind about the price, just pick the one you would prefer" and I also ended up in the cheapest possible option anyway). So we paid and I signed away my firstborn child and a girl showed us down to "Arscott House"; the place where I would be spending my next twelve months.
"Everyone come to the courtyard, bring alcohol... *pause* not too much *pause* we're bored, come and play with us"
In some ways i think i've bitten off a bit more than I can chew. It's a big change, everyone's been saying but is there a cut off point? At some point in time does it just become too difficult? Are we allowed to give up and not be beaten for that decision?
So back to the story. There were a couple of tears shed, not as a "i'll miss you", but rather as a "dear god please don't keave me in this hellhole". It was a very sorry sight. The room's okay now I look at it properly, I've settled in and everything is unpacked and organised (to an extent) and it looks a lot better than it did before. My fridge is still kinda crummy, it's all cracked along the bottom of the inside, one of my drawers in my wardrobe is kinda wonky and ther'es only one door for it but it seems like there's actually only supposed to be one door.
As we were unpacking (before the folks left) I met Josh and Adria(sp?) and was told that Aaron was living down the hall. Josh and Adria are both older (she's 4th year and i'm not sure about him) and stayed over the summer. Josh is my next door neighbour, but I can't say i've had a conversation with him yet. Aaron is a first year but he's older.
So I kinda didn't do much on friday seeing as though the place was pretty deserted. I walked to Belconnen shops and bought a couple of things that I needed; bluetack, hairspray, batteries. It's an easy walk to the shops, and they're big shops, it's a Westfield. By easy walk I mean 25minutes but I managed it without getting lost. And you walk straight through a bus interchange so I can probably get absolutely anywhere.
Apparently Ascott house is the "drinking house". Shannon told me that yesterday, wonderful.
Friday night I couldn't really get to sleep. I kinda didn't actually want to stay and considered chucking the entire 'higher education' thing in. Actually i'm still considering it. Woke up Saturday morning about 7, then 8, then 9, then 10 when I finally got out of bed. Adria had asked me if I wanted to go to the pub with them on Friday night but I declined, I was a bit (read: absolutely) terrified of going out with a group of people who all knew each other. And I was feeling a bit lost.

* Post the first *
I've created this blog because my first blog is becoming very very crowded. With 730 posts it's taking 10 minutes to republish every time I do something to the template. And since I'm starting university in a week i've decided to start a Uni blog. That way I can write about my Uni life and all my high school friends can know what i'm up to.

Tunes to keep you busy
A Quick Wilson Quiz
"You can't stop the beat" - Hairspray
TRACY
You cant stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
But i just cannot stand still
Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
TRACY & LINK
Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why
And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!
PENNY
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea
SEAWEED
You can try and stop the hands of time
But ya know it just can't be
PENNY
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed,
I'll call the N Double A C P
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
PENNY & SEAWEED
Cause you can't stop the beat
PENNY & SEAWEED
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all my might today
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise
What I'm dreamin' of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
Cause you cant stop the beat!
EDNA
You cant stop my happiness
Cause i like the way i am
And you just can't stop my knife and fork
When i see a christmas ham
So if you don't like the way i look
Well, i |ust don't give a damn!
EDNA & ENSEMBLE
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
EDNA & COMPANY
'Cause you cant stop the beat
Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that i can today
Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why
And if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you cant stop the beat!
MOTORMOUTH
Oh oh oh
You can't stop today
As it comes speeding down the track
Child, yesterday is hist'ry
And it's never coming back
MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
MOTORMOUTH
And it don't know white from black
ENSEMBLE
Yeah!
MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
'Cause the world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
'Cause you cant stop the beat
ALL
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it

They can try to stop ths paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
You can't stop the beat!
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
ALL
Ever since we first saw the sun
A man and woman like to shake it when the day is done
But we're gonna shake and shimmy it
And have some fun
For today!
ALL
Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise

You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!
my name is wilson
I'm one of those people who prefers to be out the back of the shoe store packing away boxes and ordering shoes rather than serving customers. I'm allergic to nothing and yet
I avoid things that i'm not used to. I fell in love once and to be loved is the most wonderful feeling in the entire world. I hold on to stereotypes of myself from years
ago not realising how much i've changed. I've taken two steps toward being independent but am nowhere near the stage most people are at my age. I crave attention but at
the same time hate getting it. I like my privacy and my space and miss having a big backyard to wander in. I want to do everything but make no effort to do anything
and then complain about it. I love to laugh and to make other people laugh at me. I can't stand being serious or when somebody else is crying and I can't do anything
to make them feel better. I want to be held when I cry. I want to be spoilt and to lie in bed forever with someone who i've given my heart to.
