March already....

Just looking at the title of my last post and it’s so true. My internet broke again last week, exactly the same problem as before, apparently there’s a problem with my cable in the switch room so they should be replacing it….lol.

Last Tuesday was pancake day and so we attempted making our own, very successfully I might add hehe. Although we did have a ringing of the parents to find out the ingredients only to use pancake mix…just add water! Lol, very yummy and so much fun. We used the kitchen next door as Dale’s mum had been up to visit and cleaned the kitchen so it was sparkly and clean. Also they have freeview next door so we could do the essential O.C. and Beauty and the Geek viewing at the same time.

We had our first excursion the weekend before last – we went to Chester Zoo…lots of fun, if very cold. We saw all the animals, lions and tigers and giraffes and monkeys and meer cats hehe. Jenny also bought us all Chester Zoo mood rings so we always know how we’re feeling, although had to alter the chart slightly as we kept being ‘in despair’ lol. We stayed at Jenny’s nans and then went shopping on the Sunday in Chester…very painful as I don’t have any money and there were half price Bench jackets – not fair! Lol. Chester is so pretty and recognisable from Hollyoaks, very exciting.

On the subject of Hollyoaks, we keep seeing the cast members round Manc, which is even more exciting lol. Lee and Zara were in 5th Ave, there are lots of photos haha, then Becca was at AU and the boys saw Andy the rapist down in Fallowfield lol.

We’ve sorted our house for next year which is so cool. It’s down in Fallowfield – Landcross Road, right next to a bus stop which is cool as we’ll be getting the bus to Uni next year. The house is so nice – 5 bedrooms, all double and all double beds and pretty big :) two showers, two toilets, kitchen, really nice living room and even a basement. It’s three storeys and the shower on the top floor is kinda exciting lol. The shower is pretty much the whole room, the room is just the size of the shower tray – unusual hopefully good though… It’s gonna be £57 a week before bills which is really good – at the moment we pay so much to be in halls mainly cos we’re en suite hehe, about £78 I think…. Lol.

Had exams when I first came back over Christmas, no fun, especially finding where each exam was – very scary as they were all over including in Fallowfield which for me is very scary lol :S Now we’re back to lectures though and my timetable is pretty cool. I don’t have lab this year because of the philosophy, so I have 5 hours less a week than last semester meaning I only have one hour on a Thursday. I have lost my Fridays off though which is a bit mean lol. We have now started entirely new modules – maths 2, electricity and magnetism, gases solids and liquids and vibrations and waves. All fun stuff haha. We’ve also started a new module in philosophy – knowledge and reality, which is better than ethics as it’s a lot more related to physics and science which is cool although I’m still definitely dropping philosophy at the end of this year.

We seem to have a new hobby, which is hair dying lol. Me and Jenny have both dyed our hair at least twice since being back after Christmas – kinda cool. We dyed it again yesterday (roots were beginning to become a problem at least for me lol), mine medium brown and hers dark chestnut brown which means atm they’re pretty similar colours although shouldn’t think that’ll last too long once the colour starts to fade lol.

I took my music theory exam finally last week lol. Pretty impressive as my piano teacher booked it at Christmas somewhere in Manchester, and the place in Manchester was the Sackville St. Building. The Sackville St. Building is on the same street as my Halls and is the building next to us… pretty handy hehe.

AU tonight which is our new Wednesday night. We’d been a few times last semester, but after introducing Laura to it, it’s now a weekly thing lol. It seems to have calmed down a lot now, last term getting tickets was a no fun and involved lots of standing round in the cold waiting for people selling them to turn up, it was so popular, but we now have ‘contacts’ who get them for us lol, or we’ve discovered we can just turn up earlier – a pound more expensive that way though and means we have to be ready earlier which can be a bit of a challenge :-S lol. Should be cool though and as it’s AU, it’s a student night so very cheap hehe :) .
