What a week!

Sorry its been an absolute age. I went away for a lot of last week, and have spent the rest of it either drunk/hungover/not at my computer. Anyway absolutely tons has happened in the intervening time and I'm not actually sure you'll want to hear it, so here are the highlights.

1. Finished my exams -went alright I think, hard to tell really.

2. Got drunk post exams - fairly self explanatory.

3. Went to Penrith on the train. And had a stalker!
Well I arrived on the platform at Nottingham station, a platform I'd never been to as well (which given there's only 6 is moderately surprising) and there was Adam, my hockey captain, off home! Anyway we were on the same train all the way to Manchester Oxford road, then ended up on the same train north of there, but he got off in Bolton and I carried on to Penrith.
Much excitement!

4. Spent a few days in Penrith
I accidentally gatecrashed their refreshers week, so there was loads to do. Was awesome, we went to Emma's (my best friend) SU on the Tuesday night, dressed as cowboys. It was a bit insane, their SU is tiny, it reminded me more of a pub than anything, it was really cosy and cute though. And their drinks were £1 a pint, or a bottle before half eleven, so no complaints there!

The on Wednesday day, I went climbing! Emma and her boyfriend Craig took me climbing in Keswick. I thought I was going to be really dreadful because I have no upper body strength. But I was really impressed wit myself. I eve did a lead climb, and eventually defeated the pink and black spotty route! (Even if Craig did pull me up it)

On the Wednesday night we went to Lancaster on a coach, which took about an hour. we went to the Cumbria uni SU bar on the campus there, then to a club called Sugarhouse. It was actually a pretty classy nice place. But it was a bit empty really, I don't know if thats just in comparison to the always packed Nottingham student nights, but a few more people would have been nice. Still it was good fun because obviously there was a big group of us, and I got a little bit tipsy! Emma took about a bijillion photos. We got back at about four in the morning and sat around in the kitchen for a while, so needless to say . . .

On Thursday we didn't get up very early! Anyway we eventually made it to Carlisle which was cool, it had proper normal shops!

5. Missed my train home!
Yeh, I couldn't find the station. Emma had practicals first thing Friday so I had to walk to the station, which would have been fine, but I went the wrong way at a roundabout, and carried on walking, thus getting slightly lost. Anyway I eventually found the station 20 minutes late. And then had to wait another hour for the next train. Thankfully my ticket covered it which was a relief. I ended up going through Crewe and Derby, I had no idea where Crewe was, so I looked in WHSmith in the station for a map because I was curious. (Apparently this makes me a Geographer, which given I've always hated geography doesn't make a lot of sense). Anyway I got back eventually, and it was all a bit of n adventure really, I love trains so I didn't really mind. I ended up missing hockey training cos I was knackered but Kayleigh and I had takeaway Pizza and Strongbow, so no complaints really!

6. House hunting!
We found a house! Kayleigh and I went hunting most for the day on Saturday and we've found one we love. This morning we went to the letting office and they are writing us a contract as I type! I'm so excited! Its such a nice house, on the edge of Lenton, which seems a bit more secure, and its walkable to uni easily and to town. I love it already! I'm just excited about having my own house to be honest! Here is the beauty!
It even has a garden! And a garage! Wow.

And yes that was my last week. We're going to Cock Soc tonight (cocktail society). So that should be messy! I'm so poor, but never mind! And lectures start tomorrow, yay! I apologise for this rather boring step to step guide of the last week, I don't really have much else to write about today. Oh except one thing . . .

MY ABSOLUTE HATE of underage drinkers, but not all underage drinkers, the ones that just can't take the alcohol, or think they are really hard because of it. Its really not cool to be falling all over the place and throwing up on the street. However, it did provide an entertaining incident on the bus the other day. These two girls, about 15/16 I'd guess got on the bus obviously tipsy. Chavvy, talking really loudly, I was knackered so they were really pissing me off. Anyway, the driver pulls up at a roundabout, not particularly sharply, just as buses do. And they went flying forward, and one of them cracked the windscreen, WITH HER HEAD! I had to laugh into my hand. Unfortunately ours was the next stop so I don't know what happened but it amused me greatly. And the moral of the story is don't drink if you can't handle it!
