a year on..

After almost a year since my last (and only) post, I’ve had a sudden surge of motivation/avoiding revision. After spending too much time reading about other people’s lives, I’ve decided to join the obsessive world of blogging.. And I plan to stick to it this time.

I realise I never really introduced myself before, so a quick one is in order; I’m Eve, 19 years old, study French and Russian at The University of Nottingham but am originally from Kent. I insist on the fact that I am from Kent, the garden of England, and NOT Essex, contrary to common belief. Shut uuuuup.

So, since the lonesome post in 2011, I have progressed in my studies at university and am currently in my second year. I wish I’d had more time during Freshers to document a crazy language students life, but clearly I was too busy livin’ the dream, shouting “DOWN IT FRESHER" at every given opportunity - a thrilling, adrenaline-pumping experience that every first year must abide by. Now, however, i’ve swapped the copious amounts of booze and partying for feminist french novels and twisted russian tales from the Soviet Union (n/a: not as interesting as it may sound). Don’t worry though, the wild fresher has not been entirely abandoned as of yet, and I’m still partyin’ it up in Nottingham.. Just maybe twice less a week. I sadly can no longer shout the aforementioned phrase, because apparently we’ve matured since then (paha!), except when I’m home with friends that are luckily still in first year - winner. Actually, to prove my absolutely crazy second year lifestyle, I am currently writing this post in a place some call ‘student heaven’, one that epitomises student life, that has plenty of comfy chairs, doughnuts and starbucks coffee.. no other place but the library. Looking up drug-use in French sport was taking its toll, so I accidentally clicked onto my tumblr page, convincing myself that there may be some much needed information on recent, juicy scandals in the world of french athletes. Unfortunately there was none, so instead I was forced to create a post that at least mentioned the subject - success.

It seems as though I have made my (re)introduction, so now back to writing about sporting scandals in the place that shall be my home for the next 7 weeks.. bloody fantastic.
