The last week I’ve been quite anti-hermetic for once! Since the house is now unpacked we’ve had people over – two friends came on Sunday for a pancake lunch feast. On Friday night my boyfriend managed to coax me into going to his friend’s place for a bbq, which turned out to be really fun! Also, the boyfriend’s mother has been staying with us – she’s an absolute riot! And his sister and cousin visited also. My main issue right now is making friends at uni.

So far, things have gone well considering the circumstances – I’ve been tied up with moving house and haven’t really been able to make time for friends. However, I had a friend over to my new house and I’ve been getting out of the house, rather than laying around all day. This has been slightly difficult as my boyfriend crashed my car, but I don’t think I could stand mooching around every day.

Today I met a girl on the bus who is in two of my lectures and we had a chat. I must talk to her again, she seemed really nice.

For me, getting a life means finding some friends – interesting, loving, fun people to whom I don’t feel inferior. My friends from high school have left me (unceremoniously, I might add), and University is a big, scary world. I feel lost and alone and I spend most of my weekends at home with Boyfriend, who also has no life. Don’t get me wrong, I love him to bits, but I need more social interaction! Plus, hopefully he’ll follow my example and get out more too. My main aims are:

- To meet more people, get acquainted and hopefully find some friends among them.
- To work up to going out at least twice a week.
- To work on my self esteem – because if you don’t like yourself, how can you expect others to like you?
