- first day - roomie
- they paired me well
- too well...
- wonder if meeting someone so out of your comfort zone would have been more interesting OR more destructive...
- turns out to be very quiet
- I think I may be more of a nusciance than a benefit to him.
- distinct lack of concern towards how he is perceived on the outside - freakishly little
- had a few disagreements
- hates small talk enough to be (unintentionally?) rude to me :(
- first day - garden party
- pizza/soda
- met a few people
- stuck around with roomie and handful of people
- perhaps copying the persona of socialable people would have worked..but to what ends
- first day - boat party
- food ok
- not great social environment due to NOISE OF THE MUSIC
- began raining
- spent 50% of time alone not talking, :/ other 50% was ok though only with people i had already met or hideous dancing, being ironic but it was lost on everyone. give up being ironic or meet others who share same sensibility
- overwhelming sense to give up with the pointless small talk its all done on the perception of people via looks. i dont approach people who im unsure of and i guess everyone else does too...
- kitchen people
- ncie bunch of people
- good mix
- socialising is tough since i feel inadquant about my cooking skills due to never really being shown how...
- drinking seems to make a large part of the social events, but I lack the ability to drink :<
- everyone has buddied off or gone into another kitchen.
- only one person who i can relate to easily
- first meeting with tutorial group
- seem nice enough
- amazing diversity
- find it hard to relate
- moderate characters
- too serious for me or they need to open up a bit?
- definite lack of bonding
- lectures
- not falling asleep after 10 mins is hard
- falling behind is going to make up the rest of my life
- few people care
- have a gang woooo, no more awkward seat finding yay
- just don't work for me
- at least 40% dont go and do perfectly fine...
- First group project
- fractured group
- me making hilarious comments - not productive
- feel that 2 sub groups forming!!! me as the bridge, belonging to no group :(
- Amazing fun, excellent experience, everyone opened up!!
- final producted failed epically, though not waste of time
- tutorial sessions
- waste of time for most
- only ever talking
- gathering of the group is much fun
- opportunity to socialize
- tutors always attempt for you to understand it yourself - no thanks..
- New gang
- solves seating problems and people to lunch with
- always sharing food - most amazing thing ever
- shared interests and levels of maturity (finding free food)
- some external socialising
- not solid, but together
- everyone likes (and can talk to) everyone else!!
- love eating together and mixing it up with different cafes (mech eng, EEE, RSM, SAF)
- the halls of residence
- well kitted out
- little mixing going on
- strongest groups are those which are lucky enough to be alike and live close by.
- Finding it hard to converse with others
- found one person of the same ethnicity woop woop - spoke for hours
- people stick to their floors
- i know and speak to 3 out of the 17 people who live in my hall and do my course :( i know of at least 5 others
- made one hall friend due no mutual interests, no one else
- best friend's friends
- amazing people - all of them
- fitted right in without much effort
- mainly bond through shared lack of maturity and common home place (LONDON!!)
- tolerate his personality and find it endearing
- some met through snooker
- small circle but already awkward with reluctant love interest..lol
