A short list

I live in Bristol again now, I have been back over a month and will soon have a flatmate, but at the minute I am on my own. Here is a short list of things that I have learnt about myself and life in this brief stint of independence.

• You have to make sure you get dressed everyday, even if you don't have work cos if somebody comes to the door it's got to be you that answers it. 
• It takes me a least 24 hours to recover from the ordeal that is emptying my brown food waste box for collection.
• I don't like sleeping on the ground floor, I have a recurring dream that somebody breaks into the flat doesn't take anything they just come into my room, get in my bed and spoon me. Fortunately I know its a dream now and am able to wake myself up.
• I am too dependent on the internet.
• Always make sure the heating will be on when you get in, otherwise you just don't take your coat off.
• I have listened to the Legally Blonde The Musical soundtrack so much that I am genuinely considering taking singing lessons so I can one day play Elle Woods in a local amateur production.
• It rains so much in Bristol that the fact that my umbrella was stolen has made leaving the flat is the definition of a mission.

All this has shown me is that I am no way mature enough to be 23 years of age.
