The breakdown of trust | awesometortoise

June 16, 2014. The breakdown of trust. Having lived with my flatmates for 29 weeks (3 terms) mostly without incident, I thought we had avoided the thing that seemed to feature in most people’s university experiences- food theft. But, apparently though this has never happened before now is the perfect time to start and I am the perfect victim. But why is this ok? We are all broke, being students, at this point in term. So, the question is why steal from other people? June 16, 2014. Enter your comment here.

September 9, 2014. Uni Flatmates Are Like An Honorary Family. Like it or not, by the end of the year you will know things about other people in your flat that sometimes you wish you didn’t know. Like a horrible reality show, you find out everyones habits. The girl down the end of the corridor is a screamer when she is getting intimate with her boyfriend (surely that must be off putting?

Thoughts On Binge Drinking | awesometortoise
https://awesometortoise.wordpress.com/2014/01/22/thoughts-on-binge-drinking
January 22, 2014. Thoughts On Binge Drinking. I never have, and I think I never will, understand the mentality involved in the binge drinking culture at university. Here are some of my observations (from the perspective of a person who doesn’t drink). I’m drinking to fit in. I can’t remember last night. I’ve never been so hung over. Sorry, but I can’t control my volume when I’m drunk. I lost my flat key so I’m going to bang on the door until someone lets me in. Did I leave the oven on? Yep They will deci...

When you want to give up but the world doesn’t want to give up on you | awesometortoise
https://awesometortoise.wordpress.com/2016/01/08/when-you-want-to-give-but-the-world-doesnt-want-to-give-up-on-you
January 8, 2016. When you want to give up but the world doesn’t want to give up on you. Third year at university is. Going to be easy. You assume when you sign up for the course that it will get progressively harder. But, it’s only when you get there do you fully understand the scale of the task. Writing an essay, camped out in the library until 2am surrounded by friends was an amazing experience. Which might sound crazy but hear me out. January 8, 2016. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Debating the shape of our heritage's future. My 80’s Heritage Home. Posted by Claire Truman. Asymp; Leave a comment. 1980’s period details. To Historic England’s criteria. The 1980’s house we moved into earlier this year is sufficiently old to be considered for listing. Age isn’t everything of course, and whilst it will not be pushed forward for consideration of this accolade I do feel an obligation to record its current state.
