have a better social life

well this has kind of gone up and down. I did have 2 nice weekends in a row, met up with friends I hadn’t seen in ages. But, because I haven’t been v organised with work , I am completely bogged down with this thesis writeup and so can’t really go out at all now, so that sucks.

I really really need to be more organised, get work sorted then I can try and revive my social life properly.

I hung out with joel today, we used to be really good friends, but kind of grew apart last year, but this year is my last chance to just hang around and do nothing before being an adult, so I really can’t starve friendships and let them die, I am glad we caught up today =] was good fun

Been fairly bored last few weeks. Almost didn’t bother going to someone’s leaving do as I was feeling lazy, but made myself go for a few hours and ended up having a good time! Had a great night out on saturday, and have another planned for coming friday.

Have also bought ticket for work christmas thing, will prob be boring and will leave early but at least I’m going.

Well this has gone up and down. My weekends are really dull – work, that;s about it. But the weekdays are better. Some of us at uni used to be a vegetarian quartet – we liked to try out vegetarian restaurants separate from our carnivorous classmates. We;ve started doing that again, which is nice. Two of them are vegetarian, one just likes the food, and I end up being one by default – since I’m muslim and can rarely find a restaurant that serves halal meat.

We have a good time, eat really good vegetarian food and catch up on stuff.

I wish I had better luck building up a social life through work, I did go to the pub with work colleagues the other week for a (non alcoholic!) drink. I wish I had managed to go to some of the rock climbing society trips to fit in with my other goal, but I just never feel like I can be bothered.

Been doing much better on this recently, meeting up with friends during the week and weekends, not letting work get in the way. Was invited to gatecrash a hallowe’en party. Was tempted to say no, I don’t like going to parties where I don’t really know anyone, but I went and it was actually not too bad. Even though I was the only person not in costume :) Some strange people there, but a good night.

Just got to keep the momentum up and not retreat to hermit status, which is what I did this weekend, barely left the house.

OK so I have made some small progress on this. It isn’t just a social life that I want to sort out, but a life outside of work in general! This weekend was v organised, and fitted in work and chores, but got up early instead of lazying about in bed so I had time to go climbing on saturday, and meet friends for lunch on sunday. Last tuesday I left work early to go to a talk on religion vs science (that may not sound like fun to most but I wanted to go so made sure I left work to go) and this thursday went out with friend for meal and then theatre.

Nothing much happening this weekend, spending some time with family. But it’s a start :)

a more exciting social life, do more, be more and see more!
