Back at university. Fresher's week was so much fun this year. I've signed up to so many clubs and sports - joining Jujitsu, Canoeing, Mountaineering and Salsa LOL!

On the one hand I'm a little sad it's all over, but on the other I can't WAIT to get back into study. I've been over the material we're looking at for Medieval History, Scottish History and Anthropology and I'm so excited.

What else, what else. I'm finally climbing the Buchaille in a couple of weeks. Canoed in the North Sea on Friday - still can't feel my arse. I stood at Bill's book stall in the middle of Market Street for an hour talking to an eccentric Royal with a very amusing laugh, which sounded like steam escaping. Lived off countless free Fresher's BBQs all week (meeeeat). Ate cake. Learned to salsa, albeit as a bloke. Cried myself to sleep one night, laughed until I threw-up another. Missed my fat spider-eating cat. Got glomped by a dog that looked like a bear. Flirted with professor. Fell down. A lot. Drank.

Also, bad news: my bookshop closed, but honestly I just can't bring myself to talk about it. I'm still totally devastated. It's like losing a very dear friend. I miss the volunteers too, though I miss Ian more than anyone else. He's been like a dad to me.

Speaking of which...

My uncle contacted me. My dad's younger brother, Abderrahim. I feel very strange. I know it's awful, but sometimes I just forget that I have a whole other family out there. And seeing my dad's brother, my uncle, it's just very overwhelming. I know very little about my dad and so having his brother contact me has shaken me a lot. Part of me wants very much to ask him all about my dad, to know what he was like, because I don't want to ask my mum - I don't want her to get upset thinking of him, even though it's perfectly normal to get upset and people should grieve people they've lost. It's selfish of me not to ask really. My mum would love to tell me all about my dad. I'm the one who can't bare to hear it.

Right, so Fresher's week is over -
Liver: YAAY!
- QUIET YOU! As I was saying, Fresher's is over, bring on the study! I've also got to focus on preparing my application for the British Museum's paid internship. Fingers crossed!!
