Why, 'Blogger', I am NOT A ROBOT!!

So I guess you're wondering why this is what I have titled my post (perhaps). If not, then tough, I'm going to explain it anyway :p

Upon trying to comment on my friends' blogs, before it posts, it comes up with that crazy letter-y number-y think which I have to type to "prove I am not a robot". So I shall list why I'm not (r am not aware I am) a robot.

1. I cry at things. Like, not films and books an things that a normal being should (which probably counts against me) but, like, when I'm sad, or miss my friends, or am just so annoyed at you 'Blogger'. And, with the exception of The Bicentenial Man (eurgh), robots don't have emotions.

2. I have a heart, and a soul. Not that I've physically seen either, but I'm hoping that I do aha :)

3. I have friends, robot's don't.

4. I am not made out of metal or synthetic material or anything remotely robot-y, I am 100% real homo sapien.

5. I have hopes and dreams for the future. Which, again with the exception on The Bicentenial Man, robots do not.

6. I have a cold, robot's don't have colds, just perhaps the odd minor malfunction or meltdown hehe :)

7. Robot (type things) have been on Doctor Who, I haven't (WHY CRUEL WORLD, WHY?!)

8. I like cheese, robots don't like cheese, they can't eat, stupid 'Blogger'.

9. If I were a robot, then people would most likely be scared of me, and avoid me when I'm out in public, which they don't (some of the time).

10. Lastly, 'Blogger', as you're a webpage, online, something on the computer, you're way more close than me to being a robot. So there, point made, case closed, NOW STOP HARASSING ME YOU PARANOID AND JUDGEMENTAL BEING.

So to anyone who may post on this blog (a girl can dream), I wish you luck and just want you to know that I feel your pain <3

Why, this evening, I am hating on the world :)

1. It is a public holiday tomorrow, which everyone but Edinburgh Uni seems to have off. Meaning, while everyone else is having lie-ins, I'll be in my first proper uni lecture.

2. As tomorrow's a public holiday, no buses are running to or from Ratho all day, meaning I have to ask my mum to give me a lift to get a bus elsewhere.

3. MyEd (Edinburgh's website to tell you everthing about your course/lectures/assignments etc.) is the most complicated thing ever.

4. It's exhausting trying to make new friends, I miss my old ones.

5. I've wanted to do teaching at Ednburgh for 11 years, yet no-one today ased me how Freshers had gone, they all instead asked my friend who only decided to do it a year ago so she got the joy of telling them (not bitter or anything haha).


Nevertheless, Freshers week got better and better as the week went on, met lots of lovely people, and I'm now watchng Merlin, which makes me very happy :) <3

kjfobeblkzsm (The Sound of Panic)

Quick blog post, basically to vent the assortment of emotions going on.

So, tomorrow, I start uni. Well, technically Freshers, but I still have to start meeting people and making friends, and I'm TERRIFIED. I am NOT this old already, I can't be?! Don't get me wrong, this is, like, all my dreams come true considering how I've wanted to be a teacher since I was seven, but there's something about the looming inevitability of it that makes me doubt every aspect of my being (wondering if this is at all relatable, or if it's just me). At least one of my friends is doing the course, so I'm not quite alone in this blind panic and confusion.

This is how I think people at uni will probably end up seeing me (tbh, I can understand why if they do haha):

So here's my plan of action:

• Join the CU and go to as many of their Freshers events as possible (yes, I'm a Christian, commence the hate comments haha)
• Try to still be myself, and hope that people like me for who I am (cheesy, yeah, but it's a piece of advice my friend gave me and showed me that it was important)
• Keep BREATHING.

In a few weeks' time I'll probably laugh at how scared I am now, I'll realise it was stupid.. I hope at least.

But, for now, no matter how daunting life seems, I'll keep smiling, because, really, that's all I can do :)

Love, Emily x

The ramblings of an accidental blogger.

So, thanks to my lovely friends (still debating whether that's supposed to be sarcastic or not), I have been convinced to create a blog even though I am yet to fully understand the concept of blogging (and created a blog quite by accident while commenting on that of another person). I will most likely use it to blurt out all my crazy ramblings and views on life as I venture into the mysterious unknown that is adulthood.

Though made accidentally while trying to post on my friend's blog, I'm actually quite excited about this, it's like a more fun version of a journal. The other day I made a decision, I want to make my mark on the world, so that my achievements in life won't simply die with me one day. I don't know how yet, but I want to spend my life helping others and be known for that, I want to change lives, even if only by doing something as small as making someone smile. This can be my foothold on the world, my name is now out there, on the internet, not changing lives, but the only way on from this moment is forward :)

If I haven't bored you to death with this post, I will find time to keep updating you on what I hope are the interesting events in my life (in between watching Merlin and Harry Potter of course, I must keep my priorities straight).

Much love, Emily x
