The darker side of studenthood.

Firstly, I know I said this was going to be a weekly thing... but I decided I forget a lot of things, and writing this will also use up time that I could be using for useful things such as washing and presentations.

So it has come to my attention that with 1 week to go, I have ran out of money. Don't sympathise, I spent the majority of it on alcohol. Which brings me to my first point;

So, Saturday night, I went to Lewisham (brav!) to Ronnie's 21st Birthday at Dirty South. Beforehand during the day (even though I actually slept till about 3) I went to source to good, yet relatively cheap vodka. The first place I went to was Lidl. A fine, cheap food and drink vendor on Eltham High Street. Standing on the alcohol isle, eyeing up the cheap booze, a security guard approached me. He obviously made the assumption, from my small stature and young looking features that I was not of the age to buy alcohol and questioned what I was doing. I told him; I said 'I'm looking for vodka.', to which he gave me a bemused and slightly aggravated look, followed by the 'How old are you?' question. I told him '18', and he looked at me in slight amusement and asked if I was sure about that?

By this point I was getting rather annoyed. 'Urmm... yeah I think so... last time I checked...'. This was obviously the wrong thing to say to the power hungry security guard. He threw me out the shop, despite me offering to show him my ID. Apparently, my ID is 'probably off the internet'.

I went to a small shop and bought my vodka there.

I then went home and drank it. Pretty much the whole bottle, and proceeded out into South London. Everything's a bit blurry after that. In fact everything is a bit blurry up until around 3am this morning when I decided I felt better, and my stomach was making the rumblies.

So now, I have this dilemma. I have rent, phone bill, water bill to pay, along with my food and drink.. and my V fest ticket which needs to be bought tomorrow. I somehow doubt my overdraft will cover all of that..
