Last night I went to Rebecca's 23rd birthday pubcrawl, which was fun. We had Indian takeaway and wine at her house before sallying forth to Rummers for more beverages. I, however, kept my drinking to a minimum in an effort to save money. After Rummers shut we went back to Becca's and Monty set up the shisha (hookah) that their friend Paresh brought ( Read more... )

Hmm...nothing to do so time for an update. Today's miracle is that I actually roused myself for my 9 o'clock lecture. Granted, my eyes were closed for most of it, but now I'm relatively awake ( Read more... )

Oh god. I made a typical blunder in church on Sunday. Yes, church. (Head of the Christian Union Hannah wanted the flatmates and I to come to her baptism). After the ceremony we talked about whether she'd stay in Wales after graduation or not. She's from Newport in South Wales but she doesn't speak Welsh. Anyway, somehow I blurted, "Well, if Welsh ( Read more... )

Walking down the hill against freezing 50 mph winds with Grace yesterday afternoon after a few pints was very interesting. There's something very amusing about the warm buzz and loss of clarity in such situations. After getting back to a frigid Grosvenor House I sobered up and had dinner, courtesy of Edd. Then I met up with Eve, Matt, Saima, ( Read more... )

Fuck it is absolutely frigid today! It's snowing in most places in Britain and I think it might in Aber too. The wind is fierce and the waves are huge, quite distracting during the exam actually. I continued to revise on Margery Kempe last night until about 6, at which time I switched to The Duchess of Malfi, which I haven't read. I memorised a ( Read more... )

Ah, the happenings of last night. Met up with Eve, Matt, & Saima at Wetherspoons. After a drink we moved across the street to Lord Beechings where we had a few more and they coerced me to do impressions of my grandpa. ("Work the pedals, you horse's ass!"). Then we went to the Pound Party at The Glen. Damn Saima. She made me down almost every drink ( Read more... )

Well after an exhausting, harrowing journey I'm back in aber. Both my flights were delayed by a half hour for maintenance difficulties. There's a comforting thought. And a replacement co-pilot had to be found at the last minute for my Minneapolis flight because the scheduled one never showed up. One too many drinks for him at the airport pub I ( Read more... )

So nice to be home ( Read more... )

Went to the Varsity Pound Party last night with Dulcie and Liz from English. That was really nice and Dulcie and I went to The Bay afterwards, where we saw Charlotte and Tom who I haven't seen all year. I had a pint of cider and a jack daniels lime & lemonade and amazingly, incredulously, I was slightly tipsy when I came home. Now that's cutting a
