No update for a while.. not a lot's really happened! Tis exam time again, but at the moment I'm feeling alright about them. There's one thats going to be really painful, but the rest all seem fairly OKish.. Still gonna require non stop revision for the next 3 weeks though which is already starting to bug the hell out of me.. probably why I'm updating this to get away from it for a few minutes!
Last night was a big RockSoc night out at Saffron on West Street for a more upmarket version of our weekly curry, since Arne is heading back to Germany soon and one or two other people will be leaving Sheffield. It was a really fun night, even though I spent and ate a little too much =O I just couldnt stop eating, it was all so nice >.< We then headed down to the Nelson for an equally fun night at Stormblast. It was the first time I could actually stay out now lectures and everything have finished.. but its kinda annoying that for the next few weeks the exams will mean I'm housebound again >.<
The night was kinda marred by an incident on Division street when we were heading down to the Nelson though. Not gonna go into details but for some reason a group of arseholes decided they didnt like us, and me especially, and I ended up being dragged down the road by my hair and pinned up against a shop front by my neck by a big fat obnoxious fucker. The police were called and I have contact details for pressing charges if I wish. It was caught on CCTV and the police said that all the doormen are connected by radio to a central office that monitors the cameras, so they wouldnt have been able to get in anywhere (we know they tried Revolution but were knocked back).. so hopefully they spoiled their own night, but I do feel really down about it this morning. Lucy got really quite upset since she returned an absolute load of verbal at them after they dragged me down the street, and she feels its her fault I was taken by the throat, but in a funny way I'm kinda glad that bit happened since it was under the camera and did mean the police got involved.
I'm more upset by some of the verbal I got, which reminded me of my High School days. I tried to just dismiss it at the time, but for some reason its brought back a lot of unpleasant memories. I've had loads of verbal thrown at me on the streets in the past but this was a little more personal somehow, and I think not being dressed up in any way (especially compared to a lot of people arount Divison Street at the time) meant it really wasnt expected!
Anyway, Lucy wanted to head home after that but we decided to head to the Nelson for a bit after all, and I'm glad we did. It'd have been a really unpleasent end to a nice night if we'd have left, but Stormblast was pretty fun and the additional drink helped us forget the unpleasentries!
So back to work I guess.. I really do hate exams!!! >.
