weekenddd.
left for Laughton on Friday, after one hectic day. two back-to-back seminars is not worth it. by the end i am mentally exhausted and have a billion thoughts floating around, which i can't bother to put to paper because it's Friday afternoon and not time to work! thank god it's Friday though, were it Monday i don't think i could survive ( Read more... )

shaping up to be quite the day.
checked my email this morning, received one from Wood! then went early to the library to grab a key text, then into town to Boots to pick up some stuff. checked out Accessorize too, gods i'm going to miss that store! on the way back, i spoke to a girl from the YSC, and i'll be going to see The Young Victoria with her ( Read more... )

after a long weekend i had a fairly relaxed Monday. lecture was interesting, but the professor's voice is dead monotonous, ack. still, historiography (ie. Issues in Historical Thought) is turning out to be intriguing. that's not to say i'm keen on the reading or anything, but some of the debates and questions raised are truly thought-provoking. it' ( Read more... )

what a great night!
look me awhile to get ready, i'll admit, but i think the effort was worth it. not everyone in the corridor was coming, which was a shame, though the rest of us seemed to have an okay time.
i wore a simple but pretty black dress i bought in Switzerland, and killer heels. not that they were so high, just that my feet in tights kept ( Read more... )

well, yesterday anyway. (Ngaio did her rowing today, Vicki's Tom had volleyball, and Emily does netball later on. so far, we are murdering Lancaster, something like 74.5 v 20.5 points? yay.) the campus has been hit by a wave of Lancaster athletes and you can feel the buzz of competition.
Friday morning, got up early, got dressed and went to the ( Read more... )

the afternoon started as a bit of a shambles, haha. in the morning i'd been wrapped up in more timetabling nonsense, but i was over-the-moon because i'd emailed Wood and he responded that day, with the promise to write more. he's confirming my suspicions about what i should do, even if he doesn't know it. i will tell you which courses i do, no ( Read more... )

along with myself, Chris, Dutchie, Harriet, Anthony, Welshie, Katie, Joel and Anna are back. a bunch just came today, like Anna with her new unicycle. (she juggles and does poi as well as conducting a school choir and studying Physics. goodness.) anyway, last night a few of us were in the kitchen after Ellen had arrived, just catching up. Mark ( Read more... )

tired. tired. oh so tired.
i will post tomorrow about the London/Eastbourne madness. i was supposed to see Emily, yes, but seeing as she never answered any of my calls, i had nowhere to go. (no, i won't ever speak to her again.) decided it was cheaper to come back to York for a few days, rather than staying in a last-minute hostel in London. i've ( Read more... )

am in midst of packing for the Easter break. my room looks like a bomb hit it, eeek. laundry, suitcases, passport, plane tickets, reading... so. much. stuff.
Chris made his yummy paprika pork chicken tonight. he asked if he can name our daughter Paprika. hellz no. the rum "pots" are in the fridge, cooling. they basically seem like chocolate pudding ( Read more... )

between reading for my food&drink essay (on the austere (vegetarianism, teetotalism, ascetics) diets of early modern England) i've been watching skits from Comic Relief. i still love love love David Tennant. of particular note are the French & Saunders spoof of Mamma Mia! and the Smithy v. The England Team bit. must love Gavin and Stacey. £57 ( Read more... )
