So nice to be cooking for myself again, I get to use herbs, spices, garlic and ginger again :D ( Read more... )

Yep back in Durham now, train ride was fairly uneventful, though I missed the stop on the way up, and had to catch a train back from Newcastle ^^"
Feels odd to be back here, but I guess I'll get used to it.

Feels odd, and I don't relish the journey back, and I've got exams halfway through next term, so I'm somewhat nervous about it ^^"

Anyway, it'll be nice to be back I guess, I know more people in Durham than here, I got invited to stir fry yesterday (they were wondering if I was back yet) XD

Went with the Scout group today as the Leader switching over to become an Explorer Scout leader (older boys basically). I played as I usually do, that being somewhat inconsistently, getting several strikes, spares and gutter balls. I always find I play best when I don't really care what the outcome will be, and I knew I was getting off to a bad ( Read more... )

Yep, back in Bugbrooke again, got home on Monday, 4~5 hour train journey, kind of grueling, but not too bad, was good to get back into a familiar bed again ^_ ( Read more... )

Last day of term today, then going home next Monday. Feels kind of odd, but it will good to be home again (after I get past the 4~5 hour train journey that is >_<). Also got to try to use up as many of my left over perishables before going home, don't want to take anything like that home on the train, guess I can give left over vegetables to people ( Read more... )

I was hoping for mid 60's, since I had put more effort in than usual, expecting high 50's because I was feeling somewhat pessimistic at the time, but, when I saw the mark my draw dropped (figuratively at least :P)

I got 70% :D

Much higher than I'd ever thought I would get.

Got my essay mark back today, 55, while not horribly bad, these sorts of things certainly drag down my average marks. Oh well, should still be able to get a good 2:1 if I study enough, somehow doubt I'll be able to scrape a first though ( Read more... )

Went to the opticians on Monday to have an eye test as I've felt that my sight has been getting a little worse lately, or at least the sight through my left eye. Anyway, my right is still as good as always, but the left has got a considerably higher prescription since last time (and I lost my old glasses anyway) so I got some new ones... feel ( Read more... )
