Just thought I would check in, how you feeling about the residential? When is it you are going?
Remember that noone will know anyone so you are all in the same boat and I am sure other people are nervous and hoping that there will be someone smiley and kind they can talk to - and they will be really lucky because they can chat to you!
Just remember how great you felt after meeting new people at the Weekender the other week :thumb:
What kind of events are there in the evening?
This sounds like a great opportunity to go and meet some new people and find out more about the uni! x
Aww pippa your so lovely
So today I've done some icebreakers (not as good as the ones at the weekender!) then we had a tour around the campus. Then got settled into the accommodation which I have to say is pretty awesome. After Tea we did some sort of dancing which I didn't join in with then some African drumming which was also pretty awesome. Oh yeah, and before all the fun stuff we had a little bit of a taster of the course we would be doing
Omg pippa!! Guess what?! I have to do a speech on Friday in front of over 90 people

I am glad that after an initially tough start you have started to enjoy it! I think this sounds like so much fun, I really want to have a go!
Do you like the campus and how the course sounds?
This sounds like the perfect opportunity to show of your incredible new public speaking skills. What do you have to talk about?
Just remember how great you did here, I am sure you can manage to do it again. Keep in mind the top tips from the training, be passionate and honest, think about your voice and body language and you will 100% nail it :yes: (if it was me I would be trying to remember not to do silly ballet feet!)
Let us know how it goes lovely Becki!
The African drumming was awesome. I'll bring one next time I go on a weekender haha
Yeah the course is great too
I have to do a talk about the experience I've had here. I'm so scared about it seriously. Like even more scared then what I was for London! I didn't even know that was possible. We've just been doing prep for it now so no idea what is to happen. Think I'll just stutter my way through it....

:thumb::yes::yippe:
This is amazing! Tell us everything - what did you speak about? You must be soooo proud of yourself. I am so happy for you, and I am really impressed that you managed to stay calm and do everything you needed to do.
How do you feel after the residential?
What are you going to do to relax after a crazy few days?
Calm down pippa!!! Haha
You mentioned me being calm? I was a complete state before doing it. One of my ambassadors had to calm me down cause I was panicking so much. There were so many more people then I thought there was going to be. That's why I freaked out I think.120 people!!! Omg 120 people! I did a five minute speech in front of 120 people. That's crazy!
I spoke about the events the I enjoyed, which was most of them, and how being away from home has made me realise how important certain people are etc. Me and my ambassador cried afterwards haha
The residential was fab, apart from them ringing home which I wasn't impressed about. Last night we had like a party thing and we was only allowed to drink mocktails because not everyone was over 18 - which sucked. I stayed up until around 2ish this morning talking to the other girls in my flat then I got woken up at 3 by a random alarm which went on for like half an hour. Then had to get up at 7. Wasn't a happy bunny this morning
It was so funny though. I'm on my way back home but had to get on the train to Selby before getting on a coach (which I'm on now) home. But on the train I plonked my suitcase in front of me (baring in mind it was very cramped) and this women Sat opposite me but was happy about my suitcase being there so she tried to move it. I put it back where it was and she moved. Haha. I was secretly laughing to myself
But yeah I'll stop typing now because I've just realised how long this is haha
Hope your all okay in YN towers!
