Holy cats, I didn't expect so many replies! Thanks so much for everyone's advice, I've tried to take a lot to heart. I haven't joined any uni clubs since there is only one more week of classes, and three of study until it's all finished.
But I have had my eye on a woman in one of my lectures and I'm planning on introducing myself tomorow evening during that lecture. It's my last chance to do so, if I chicken out (like I did last week) then I know I'll never see her again. That works both ways I guess - if she says no then I'm not too embarassed.
I've been doing a little exercise but mostly cutting down on junk food (by a lot!) and drinking lots of water and less coffee (down to about 12 cups per day... I know how I'll die...). I've decided to aim for a job with the Federal Police at the end of this year, and if not that, then I might aim for the Army (for a more administrative, less fighting sort of role).
I haven't seen or heard from my ex-girlfriend for almost a month now, and while I'm not over her, I'm doing ok. My biggest worry is whether I'll pass my classes now, as the craziness of this year has taken a toll on my grades. If I fail anything then I won't be able to graduate this year, and I can't even begin to imagine the humiliation that wil bring, even though I know it happens to a lot of people.
I'm keeping my chin up and posting here often, since I love this place and I try to give advice if I think I can, and I really, really appreciate the advice given here
