Well, its the end of the beginning this week, and this blog comes with a hint of sadness,as it comes time to leave my 1st year student accomodation, i will be very sad to go and have possible experienced every single emotion here, made millions of friends but the overall outcome is happy, and it has been the best year of my life.
To start of the last weekend here, i managed to get my purse stolen... a fault of my own, for being distracted by my phone and as from previous blogs and me leaving my door unlocked, the same applies for my bag! but still it was a inconvenience, however i must give credit to the system, 2 working days after it was stolen i had all my replacement cards back!! :)
On Friday i went to see my best friend in Manchester, we greated each other in the station with the usual massive hug and outcry of i have not seem you in agesssss..... Only to realise it hadnt even been a week since we last saw each other :P
We spent the afternoon with a mixture of window shopping and drinking lots of tea. The thing about drinking tea with my friend Laura however is that she is an obsessive tea drinker, and for some reason when i am around her my tea drinking habits increase to something like 9 cups in the space of an hour! and then i will never touch tea again till i see her again! After visiting her house on evenings i would wake up the next morning with a serious tea hangover!! And its not pretty, i tell you i would rather have 9 shots of Vodka! :)
However, on Friday, after a long costa coffee session, where we decided we could not pretend to drink empty cups of tea anymore to fool the staff into thinking we were still drinking so as to stay there longer, we took a little trip to Debenhams! :) After wandering around Debenhams and getting distracted by many many Bags, we, in a handbag and shiney necklace trance walk out what we perceived to be the exit... Only to discover the 'exit' was actually a large glass window.... ooops!!
It was a lovely day non the less :P
On Saturday evening Me, Philip, Rachel and Amish, the 4 remaining flat mates decided on a ghost walk! Armed with the worlds smallest torch, and more importantly 2 bottle of Vodka and Coke we set off around the woods in storthes! Only yo discover that Vodka adds to an over active imagination... ON walking though a field i was eriously convinced that a rock was a shirt, the there was a black cat (actually a tree) and on walking down a lane we discovered it was a dead end, so we truned around and started walking back up it... i heard a noise of what was a tractor and started scremaing there a tractor coming and ran to the side of the road, Phil and Rachel follwed and we all stood waiting for the 'tractor' to drive past... Only for Amish to spot it drive past us on the road parrellel to the one we were on... and Amish reminded us how would a tractor or any vehical drive up the road from a blocked off entrance...
We ended up bumping into second years having bonfire and joined them before wandering back, via Dbar before crashing out on the bed to Lion King.. where after the first one Amish offered us to watch a second and i exclaimed 'yes i will watch it lets watch it please'.. to then the second it was put on , stood up leaving the room wiht my 2 boots and one sock.. saying i am off to bed night :)
On Monday evening the internet at Storthes went down after a power cut and we decided it would be a good idea to bake at 1 30 in the morning...... The result was Oaties!! :) Now to make Oaties you need porriage oats... and it happened Phil had 2 massive bags of these... However by the end of the baking there were no Oats left... most were down my top, in Amish and Phil hair and all over the floor surfaces, across the hall and in our flat!! :)
Its safe to say we made the most out of the last few nights there :) and what a lovely tie its was tooo :)
Storthes is certainly a one year thing! It will always be missed ! :) But looked back on fondly, with the friends i made for life! :)
