The Guild

Right now I am writing from Bugaria. I came here for two weeks on Sturday and, as usual, now I have to help my father with his boring office work. I've discoverred that here I miss my UK freedom so much. It is the fact that you do everything on your watch - wake up, go to sleep, go out, eat, drink, shower whenever you wish. If I want to eat at four in the morning I just go to my kitchen, while here I have to constantly try to be as quiet as possible not to wake someone up. And the worse is that everyone sleep at different time. My mother goes to sleep at ten, my father always takes a nap after work so around six, and my sister goes to bed late and sleeps till late morning. This leave me one hour of loudness after 'work'(here I finish at five).

Anyway, yesterday while I was watching a boring movie at home I discoverred there is something I have grown used to during term-time that I desperately need and want not - The Aston Student's Guild. It is the place where you go whenever yu don't have plans but want to party or like me, hate staying home alone.

For those who have never heard of the Aston Student's Guild let me make a quick description. Unlike other student unions the Aston Guild has always been really influentian inside the Uni and, now I can finally say WE, the students have always been really proud of it. The Guild is the ultimate place to search for help when you needed it; the ultimate place to party when you want to; the ultimate place to hang out when you don't want to be in your small room or leave campus.

I still remember the first time I saw the Guild's building. It is nothing impresive, nothing massive or shiny, nothing incredibly posh or sophisticated, but it had a 'hommie' atmosphere around it. A spirit that made me feel safe there. I dunno if it is just me but I loved to hand out there. Especially in my first several weeks I used to have breakfast , lunch , party .... LIVE there.

I will continue my story about the Guild later, unlike all the other places on campus the Guild has been closest to me this year... and it deserves a bigger story.
