First day back at college

Hello again! I apologise profusely for doing such a late blog but c'est la vie. Well today it was the return of college after a long (and well deserved might I add) break. It was a lovely summer holiday filled with friends, cinema trips and delightful catch-ups over a Peach lemonade at Costa.

Upon arrival I was greeted with the natural swarms of 1st year students at the front of the college which was dreadful. I was not going to let myself get too annoyed due to being in the same position myself only a year ago. However two factors did not help this. One being that it was so crowded that it was unbearable and difficult to get through to any place you wanted to go; and the second being the new batch of slow walkers that I was greeted with. A slow walker is one thing that I cannot abide. If you are elderly or disabled then I understand of course. But to be naturally slow for no reason is extremely aggravating.

One annoying situation is when you are in town and realise you are going to be late for your next lesson and so decide to go even faster than your normal pace to get back. However, you are suddenly stopped in your tracks by people who are not only slow, but go to your college also, therefore they too must be running late! So why the hell aren't they moving as quick as you are! 'What is wrong with you!' I want to exclaim but alas I cannot and so must suffer with the apparent snails that I have chosen to walk behind. However, on occasion I will decide, depending on the degree of annoyance, to go by the side of them and overtake them whilst giving a passing huff/sigh to make them aware of the irritating vibes that are emanating from them.

However, the situation was not as bad (though very close) as when I first entered one of the canteens with my friend in order to retrieve a cake that she required. Honestly, it was like a foreign market place, it was unbearable. There was a mass of people all trying to move around, people were sitting down at tables, buying and selling things and I could have sworn that somebody was trying to trade a goat and two chickens for a 'Jaffa Cake' cake bar and a bag of Walkers crisps.

Well I am off to sleep now so I wish anyone who reads this a good night whatever time of day it is and to all the slow walkers who read this, I am sorry for going for you so much, but seriously...sort yourselves out my god!

Night,

Dan
