Recap
Well it's been a fantastic first semester at Uni. It's been gradual, but at the same time, it's flown by! I can't believe it'll be Semester 2 soon; speaking of which, I need to prepare for that by getting quite a few books for English. We're studying Modernism to the Present, basically 20th century stuff, including War poetry and some great science fiction novels such as '1984'. I haven't studied that book since year 8! Can't wait to read it again, it was brilliant.
Came home Friday after a hectic final week of working on assignments for deadlines. Been staying up real late working on essays; it's ranged from 2am-5am lol. But I guess that's what Uni is all about! Or so I've been told by others anyway.
Last week was awesome. Gem came up to stay for the weekend and we had such fun! Saturday she came up, I met her from the station, brought her back to the Uni, showed her around campus/my house/room, then we went up town when it was dark and all the Christmas lghts/tree were lit up. Then came back, watched the 'X-Factor' lol, ordered a pizza and then after that got ready to go out clubbing at Thursdays till 2.30am! Had an awesome time! It was Club Classics, and believe me they played some classics. I also have a vid of us dancing and singing to 'Show Me Love' on my mob and we even had some random woman dancing with us all night lol. Ahh good times!
Thursday night I was involved in a Carol concert at the Cathedral, due to the fact that I'm a member of the First Year and Chamber Choir choirs at Uni. It was really nice, the first years were given a candle to walk with whilst the lights were dimmed. It was really sacred, especially with a plain chant echoing.
Finally got all my Christmas shopping sorted! It's amazing how much I've spent on people this year, considering I've been at Uni. You would've thought I'd have less to spend. Saving money really does help.
Looking forward to seeing and meeting up with people again this holiday. No doubt I will be going to Shigi's again. Actually, I DEFINITELY will be going to Shigi's again lol. I've missed it!
See you all soon I hope. If for some reason I don't however, have a great Christmas and New Year! =)
