University, Baked Beans and Innocent Eyes

It has been nearly two weeks of living in halls, so a blog is long overdue. These past two weeks have been absolutely crazy; my life has gone from sitting on the sofa watching Loose Women with my mum for months to having the most amazing social life and meeting such great people. Mum if you read this I am not saying I do not enjoy watching Loose Women with you, but it did start to take its toll...

Apparently after you open tins of food i.e (tuna, sweetcorn and baked beans) you cannot put it in the fridge because the tin will poison the food. This cannot be true? The girls in my flat seem to think so but I have been doing that for years and I am still here.Also does anyone else eat cold baked beans out of the tin? Is it just me?  Tinned food has been a godsend since I have been at university and without it I would have had to actually make the effort to cook.  My flatmate, Michael, is an amazing cook so it is nice to have some actually homemade food. Oh and also frozen food! The frozen aisle at Morrisons has become my new favourite place, after bed of course. I could have bought 20 fish fingers for 60p but I thought I would buy the better quality ones for £2. Moving up in the world...

In other news I have found out that I have the option to have my poem  Innocent Eyes' published by United Press. I don't get any money but it is a good way of getting my name out there I suppose. Apart from this, I have nothing to tell you apart from that I absolutely love university and I am feeling the most optimistic and happy I have felt since of course the days when the only dilemma was what colour crayon to pick and Pokemon.

I watch the world through innocent eyes,

With muffled sound and routine cries,

As delicate as a new-born lamb,

It’s far easier viewing- from a pram,

But things can turn a solemn grey,

The horrors of having to play, play, play

The same old toys and ancient stuff,

My Mummy can’t see me huff and puff,

I cannot speak, but I observe

The delicate nature of adult nerve,

But I’ll just sit here in my chair,

No need to bother, No need to care.

I’ll let the food run down my face,

And shed a tear just in case

My mummy decides to shout and scream,

She just sussed out my evil scheme,

I take advantage of my age,

the naive myth I can’t engage,

I laugh at you with innocent eyes,

To buy it would be most unwise.
