We won!

Woo! Manchester University won University Challenge!! We won the final 160 points to Trinity Hall, Cambridge's 150. Woooo!

I commented on someone else's, so this goes on mine:

Comment, and . . .
* I'll respond with something random I like about you.
* I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
* I'll name something we should do together.
* I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
* I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
* I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
If I do this for you, you must post this on your blog so you can do the same for other people.

sun = little work done

Gah. The sun makes me procrastinate more and more and not want to do my work. Damn essays and exams. *grumble*

Broken toe

So, after thinking it was broken on Thursday (it refused to bend when my brain told it to and was painful), I strapped my toe to the one next to it and left it to see if it would improve (bending and pain). It did, until yesterday. I was sitting down on the bus, and flexed my toes and suddenly it hurt ridiculously lots and lots... more so this morning. So I took myself down to A&E (it is literally southwards, although not far at all) to get it checked out this morning (oh, the joys of not having many lectures midweek)... and it's broken. Fourth right toe, one of the bones is cracked. It makes the toe painful and swollen... apart from that I'm good. Trying to work out what on Earth I'm going to write for my final English essay of the year and trying to revise too (one complete set of revision notes made!). All fun. ;)

Holidays

Well... back in Manchester for the new term. Something like three weeks of lectures (or two weeks of proper lectures and one of revision thingummies) and then exams and then home!! So soon!

You may have been wondering though about the crazy yellow post below this one. Well, it was posted by a friend one evening at her house, when we were hunting for holidays for this summer. (Woo, hopefully there will be seven of us this year! Such funnnnnn. Which reminds me: Christina, if you're reading this, PLEASE TELL US IF YOU'RE COMING!!) Likely to be somewhere Spanish, semi-beachy, semi-cultural for a week at the beginning of September. All good stuff methinks. :)

And Simon and I have booked to go away together in June. :D We're going to Florence for four days just after Simon finishes uni for the year. Yayyyyyyyyyy! :D

New Post

YELLOW

Right now that's out of system...I have some very exciting news...Christina is officially a donkey's uncle's auntie.

That is all

Wooooo

Heehee :D Our exam timetables are finally up... and I finish my exams on 22nd May!! Yayyyyyyy!

Why don't I remember my dreams, when everyone else does?

Maths rep!

So, I won my position on the union council for next (academic) year as maths rep. (Something like 48 votes to 25... not many maths students turn out to vote.) All good. :)

Went out with Josh and Adina this evening to celebrate (or rather, that was the excuse for getting out)- they are also school reps on union council next year, like me, but for their schools instead (computer science and law respectively).

Last weekend was the UK Jewish chaplaincy weekend, so Hillel was rather packed with people, especially over Shabbat, with Jewish students from all over the UK turning up and wanting somewhere to sleep: I had three girls sleeping in my room... all lovely, my room just got rather messy and I keep finding bits and pieces of debris left from them and am wondering how I'm going to return half the stuff, since I'm only really in contact with one out of the three of them. We'll see.

The last two weeks have been rather sleep-deprivingly busy, and I am thus rather tired and greatly looking forward to the holidays, when I am sure I will sleep lots and relax and possibly not manage to do the essay that I need to write. Hm. Oh, and obviously see Simon lots too. :)

Anyway, beddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Monty python lego version!! Heehee.

Purim sameach!

Quite possibly the strangest setting for a megilla reading I've ever been in tonight. It was the dress rehearsal for Utopia (opening night tomorrow!!) and so seven of us gathered in the orchestra's dressing room during the set change between acts for a very quick reading of the megilla (the story of Queen Esther for those who don't know). Impressively, we finished just as Act II began, which was fine, since we were all chorus members and weren't needed on stage for a while. But it was rather strange. We were in fancy dress though, given the fact that it was the dress rehearsal. ;) Currently wondering if I'm going to wake up in time to go for the 8.30 reading in Fallowfield in the morning. Hm.

Mid-March and it's snowing again. What's going on?

The Nature of Blogging

I don't particularly want to ramble for ages on this, although I do have oodles to say on the matter. Rather, I will link you to two blogs: one Simon's and the other Zoe's where you can read my copious, lengthy and possibly repetitive comments on the matter. There will possibly be a long post on the matter, once my essay is out the way. The English (which seems slightly like a history) essay takes priority first though. Blogging this as I'm procrastinating as ever. :)

Update

I'm standing for School of Maths rep on student council... funfunfun. Vote for me! (If you belong to the School of Maths...)

Other news: it is cold, frosty, snowy here. Birmingham was similar, if not colder when I was there during the week. It was lovely to see Simon too. :)

Quick decision

Do I stand for union council?

Damn them giving us two days notice before the deadline, and only a day before the nomination forms are out. Grrr.

And if I do, do I stand for general council or as school representative (maths)?
And what do I write in a manifesto?

Arrrggghh.

Microwave usage

I think that all students should be taught how to use a microwave before coming to university. That, or microwaves should only be sold to those who know or have been shown how to use them.

Yep, you guessed it! Once again, my flatmate has managed to burn something in the microwave. Nowhere near as bad as the chocolate incident, this time it involved popcorn... She put the bag in the microwave and left the flat not realising that with popcorn you have to listen out and watch it at all times. You don't leave something burning on a gas stove, do you? *shakes head* I don't get some people.

It couldn't possibly

be spring, could it? For the first time in a while it is actually sunny and bright outside without being freezing... one could almost get away without wearing a coat! *shock* Bring on more good weather!

Sore throat today...

What do you want to bet I have a streaming cold tomorrow?

Plus a four hour MUGSS rehearsal this afternoon... throat did not take kindly to it. Nor did voice.

A house!

We've found a house! And signed for it, paid deposit, etc. From 1st July, it is ours! Yay!

I'm currently trying to place dibs on the yellow and orange room... the walls are so beautiful. :D It isn't the biggest room in the house by far, but still big enough for a double (well, queen sized) bed, which is good. Front of the house, upstairs. The girls who are there this year asked to paint their rooms... and one of the girls chose the yellow and orange and there are extra printed shapes on the walls too, like butterflies on the ceiling and stuff. (The ceiling is mainly white.) *prays that the colour doesn't get painted over by the landlady*

Exciting!!
