What's been going on ...
This is more for my benefit than anyone else's. But there is some amusing stuff in here.
Monday 22nd May
My last exam was a bitch. What's confusing the hell outta me is that last night I dreamt that I hadn't even sat that exam yet. Scary thought to wake up to. Still, overall, although I haven't done stellar, I think I've hit the 2.1 (B grade), which is a relief.
We (the biology crew) went out to Toast which had it's rock night, which was good cun. Hot DJ's :). Brad was very very drunk, which is always an amusing, slightly scary event. He is the most hyper person when pissed I've ever met. Even though it was a lot of fun, I was completely shattered so went home pretty early. A strange, slightly anticlimatic feeling took me over.
Tuesday 23rd May
Decided it would be a good day for a random trip to Liverpool. Went picking up application forms and house hunted online. The plan is for Jen and I to get a flat together for a while in Liverpool. We found the sexiest flat ever, so it was decided we would book a viewing and I'd come back on Thursday night to go out, and view the place on Friday.
Wednesday 24th May
Was supposed to work today (which is why I came back from Liverpool instead of staying the night), but my shift wasn't there, thanks to Mrs. G messing things up for everyone. So instead I hung out in the campus computer room for most of the day, job hunting and generally mucking about on the internet. I have no idea how many jobs I've applied for by this point, but it's a hell of a lot! Had my Green Comm. meeting at 4pm, then went home to cook dinner for Ed and Clare (fellow ecologists)
My fish pie went down a storm and Clare and I put away a bottle of wine. Somehow I got convinced to go to The Carleton, an absolutely horrible place (in my few) for music and a complete meat-market. But I'm single, so I think I might as well have some fun there. Unfortunately though, the night was bloody awful, the music shit and the place pretty dead. So we left around midnight.
Thursday 25th May
Even though I was back at Chancellor's Wharf at a respectable hour, I decided I wanted to watch a movie. I was supposed to be going to Liverpool early-ish and I needed to hit campus to pick up an emergency loan (yep, skint again). So sleep would have been a good plan. Nevertheless, I watched a movie and overslept. Woke up to find my computer wouldn't start up ... hard drive fucked. Shit.
Made it to Liverpool eventually, went straight to the Fact to watch X-men 3. Jen and her mates were already inside, I'd missed the first 5 minutes or so and watched the movie sitting on the stairs (the place was pretty packed). I still enjoyed it though. Caught up with Jen afterwards, went briefly around town, then back. Had dinner and went out.
Firstly to Roadkill, a mock-rock bar, which was pretty naf. But I didn't get to stay very long as I got kicked out for not having any ID on me - people, I am nearly 22! *growls* So we went to spin poi at what was essentially a warehouse. Plenty of cool people there, smoked a little of the good stuff before it wound down and we mooched to the Swan, a REAL rock pub. After the Swan, we went to the Krazyhouse, where part 1 of the adventures of girl A, boy B and girl C happened. (The three of us) After the Kray we chilled out, wished Anna, Jen's flatmate happy birthday and went to sleep.
Friday 26th May
Woke up late enough to have just enough time to get ready to meet the landlord at the sexy flat. Only no one was there. We called up to find out what was going on - the flat had been let without us knowing. *growls* So we went for a walk looking at all the other shiny places to let, coming back with a long list of options.
After that I had to move quick to meet Erica at Warrington Central. Erica and I mooched back to Lancaster where, thanks to my broken computer we had to have an actual conversation instead of just watching a movie! Still we did go and see the Da Vinci code, which was pretty watchable.
Saturday 27th May
Erica and I slept in late (as usual!) and went into town late to meet Brad and his mate from home - Claire. Went shopping a bit, then to Wetherspoons for some food. Erica bought and lost a green leather vintage back all within about an hour. Erica bought some wool and, while she was at dinner with Kirsten, I made her an iPod cover for her cracked iPod. Met them on campus with Brad and Claire for a few drinks.
Back at Chancellor's Erica and I watched Napoleon Dynamite on my newly fixed computer - turns out it was only the slave HDD that was broken, but that's a shit anyway as that has all my photos on it :(
Sunday 28th May
I'm struggling to remember just what we did that day. We woke up late of course ... that's right ... Claire came around and we watched Amelie (a really sweet movie), I cooked a gorgeous chicken casserole for dinner and Claire also enjoyed her casserole-less chicken (not eating yeast).
Erica went to Kirsten's and when she got back, she and I sat out on my balcony and played a stupid game with cars - guessing the colour of the next car that passed by. I won, 7 cars correctly guessed to 3. We also chatted about life and people, and laughed at the drunk guy trying to find his way home. Plenty of Jack was drunk too, I do recall.
That's that week, I've still got another 2 more weeks to cover before I'm up to date. Joys. But first I am going to brush my teeth and rock out to Metallica on the radio
