How's uni going?

Lets have an update. My life is now split in two between where I live during the week (Salford) and my home in Wigan. It is hard to split from one or the other now, although I will say I do like having the best of both worlds, it is difficult to leave some of the things I am used to behind, for example:

Byou
I do miss seeing all of the friends I have at Byou, although from what I hear the groups numbers have dipped slightly thanks to a cut in the transport budget. I plan on visiting Byou tomorrow to see how everyones getting on and what the group is up to.

Convenience
I miss my friends here (I type this from home) but I do still see them every week, I suppose what I really miss is having my friends down the road or a bus ride away, rather than merely a disembodied text message or avatar online. There are people I see every week which continue to be the same, and there are others that I haven't seen since leaving for uni. I do not want it to seem that I am abandoning them, though at this point I'm too busy adjusting to life on my own to care what people think of me. Luckily with true friends, you don't have to!

Family
I know I know, its pretty much a common theme here that what I miss is the people in my life that are here at home in Wigan, but I'll remind you that family also involves my dogs.

My Dogs
...ok ok, only joking. I do miss my dogs, but what I miss more is taking care of them, Since my parents became foster carers for my nephew Jaden the dogs have been living in the kitchen and the back yard. with the weather how its been these past few weeks, the dogs have been couped up inside, I can't help but feel I could make their lives a little richer if Id stay here with them.

Everything in walking distance
The public transport system in Manchester is very cheap indeed, what would cost me £1.90 in Wigan costs me just £1 in Manchester and the buses are very reliable, however I still continue to walk most places, in Manchester particularly. This means that wherever I am going I get there soaking wet, although I have treated myself to a new waterproof coat this week, which was a bargain. Here at home, everything is in walking distance, town is half an hour away, all my friends and most of my family are 15 minutes away, its very good for my legs that I get all the exercise as I do in Manchester, but I am knackered at the end of the day!

I can't think of anything else at the moment, I'll take that as a good thing. I have actually been considering moving out of halls and coming home for the remainder of the year, it would be a cheaper option for me and dispel some of my woes but I can't help but feel like I am avoiding the inevitable. Don't think that I am not enjoying myself, because I am, and have made some awesome new friends in Salford who are as I mentioned; awesome. I suppose I'll have to have a party or something to see all my friends on one side and the other!
