Missing University

If you've been a regular reader of this here blog you will be aware that I have recently finished University, spending 3 years amongst the great unwashed, engaging in pretentious, nonsensical debates and consuming outrageous amounts of food and drink (That hasn't really stopped).



This will make for a fine starters


Since leaving I have had some difficulty adjusting to adult life and have reminisced on more than one occasion to anyone who will listen about how great my life was prior to leaving university, not that my life is bad or anything, it's just not the same. You see university is like that ex girlfriend you never quite got over, you'll bore people to death with stories that can only possibly be of interest to you and try to recapture the experience, often failing and looking slightly sad in the process.(You're never too old for Touchcup IMO) You see, like that relationship with said ex girlfriend, university ended for a reason and instead of living in the past, it is time to move onward and upwards to bigger and better things.



Smile through the pain


But the truth is, since leaving I have wanted to write something about my time at Portsmouth University, a little tribute to the experiences I had and the friend's I made. Aside from my outright laziness the reason said entry has taken so long to emerge is because I feel it would be difficult to the entire 3 years justice. So, with that said I have come up with a solution. Over the next couple of weeks I will be writing an entry for each individual year. I'm going to try and avoid crossing over into bad Myspace blog territory, however, sentimentality will rear its ugly head on more then one occasion so be warned. Expect a new entry by the end of the week.

Weekend food diary

Since leaving university I have been spending a lot of time in the gym trying to improve my level of fitness, to some degree I've been successful, losing most of my stomach fat and developing something mildly resembling the ever elusive six pack. To be fair a great deal of this success can be attributed to my improved diet since moving in with my aunt and uncle, gone are the "healthy" university meals such as Tuna Pasta marinaded in mayonaise and Chilli Con Carne with a side of 28p Garlic Bread and, oh yes, a generous side of mayonaise. No, since leaving Uni I've been relying on my Aunt and Uncle's culinary skills and I'm perhaps the healthiest I've ever been....That was until this weekend where I relapsed somewhat.

Me and 3 of my university friends decided to reunite for, what was a delightful weekend in the country, for whatever reason we all decided to gorge ourselves silly, the amount of food and drink consumed was such that I decided to document it here. What follows is a food diary that begins Friday evening and ends Sunday evening.
