So I've been very busy lately. I'm finally settling into the routine of going to lectures and my weekly activities. So that's good. The workload this year is no joke obviously. I've been forcing myself to keep up with the reading and work (2nd year, sigh) because I want to do well this year. Although, it has been a chore balancing my activities, exec duties and coursework.
Internships have been a recurring theme throughout the few weeks I have been back in the UK. The university has been bombarding students with career fairs and various talks. Of course, that's because applications have been open for a couple months already. I am sort of late to the game (again). So I've been stressing myself out on the typical Big 4 applications at the moment. Besides that, I am planning to apply for an internship in Warner Music which is probably the only summer internship opportunity I could find in the music industry here, so I've been putting quite some effort into that as well. Hopefully all goes well.
On a lighter note, one of my previous band mates has asked me to join him to play a charity gig in November. I will be playing a mixture of covers, his songs and my songs. So I have that to look forward to. In addition, I have been recruited to write songs for the MNight production. I haven't really written stuff for specific things like that, so that will be interesting.
Guess I have quite a lot on my plate at the moment. I was thinking of doing Jailbreak (a charity event where you hitchhike to as far away as possible) but now I'm glad I didn't choose to do it this year. Maybe next year. Hopefully things will slow down in a few weeks time.
Till next time.

Week 1&2: Back in UK
So, it's been 2 weeks since I've been back in the UK. Already done with the first week of lectures and I have to say it's been pretty tiring.
I've had so much to do during the 2 weeks back. In addition to lectures, I've had to clean up the house, meet up with freshers to give them their SIM cards and, of course, Glee stuff. I'm pretty sure that I've been spending a lot of money and I haven't started keeping track of my expenditure yet. Hopefully it wasn't too much.
It's been nice to see all the familiar faces around even though now we all live in different places. I hope that I will be able to see those living in Leamington regularly. I already have my spot on a couch in Leam where I'll be able to crash, so that's a start. Can't wait for the Walking Dead viewing sessions.
The first 2 weeks back has already been much more tiring and hectic than the same time last year. I can imagine that my 2nd year here will be way more pressuring and hectic considering that my scores now count and my additional responsibilities this year. Hopefully I will be able to cope with it.
Peace out.
