Weekly Update!

A Boring Week, & Messy Night! 

This week has been a mixed week as usual. It started off really boring apart from the fact that I bought a new car on Tuesday, woop! I pick it up tomorrow, so am super excited for that. I went to Costa on Monday for lunch with Hana and Abi (practically becoming a habit) and went to the cafe in M&S for a cake and tea on Weds with Abi as well. I never go in M&S, but to be fair, the cafe is really nice, and much cheaper than a lot of the high street competitors.

On Thursday evening I went for drinks with Mike in Altrincham. We started in Wetherspoons for a few cheap ones, then went to The Green Room in Goose Green for a couple of nicer, slightly more expensive ones! I was in bed by half twelve though so it wasn't a mental one for a weeknight. Friday was similarly boring as early on in the week, I stayed in  and packed ready to go to Lancaster.

I went for a nice run in the morning on Saturday before I worked, and then I drove to Lancaster after I had finished at 5.30pm. I got ready and then my friend Weronika came to my house to have a few predrinks. We got a taxi to a new club/ bar called Lost at about half ten, and had a couple of drinks in there. It was really dead, and one of the cocktails I had was DISGUSTING, but it was quite a cool place - don't know how well it will do in Lancaster though. At about midnight we decided to move onto Revs, and by then my friend Hendo was out as well so we met up with him. The night gets blurry from there! 

I woke up the following morning with grazes all over my face and knees, stolen signs in my living room, and a very empty bottle of gin in the kitchen! With help from Hendo and Michael who stayed at my house, I pieced together the evening, but it didn't sound like I was the most elegant or sober of people... It was fun though, and I drove home at 5.30pm today after I had sobered up!

This evening I went to Yara with the parents and Jasmine for a meal - not that I could stomach much. It was my treat as a belated 25th wedding anniversary present to my parents, so at least I saved some money by not eating a lot! We got sharing starters including a greek salad, goats cheese parcels and houmous with pitta bread, and then I shared a chicken dish with my mum which had aubergine, tomatoes and onion in. The little I ate was really nice!

Weekly Update!

Reading Week!

So this week was the best week of each term- reading week. A week supposed to be used productively to get work done, and well... read. For most students though, it means lie-ins, a trip home and as little work as possible!

My reading week this year did actually begin with some work, and I managed to reach the half-way mark with my dissertation- hurray, the end is in sight. On Tuesday I went to The Pendle Witch with the fashion soc girls for some lovely pub grub. I had chicken, ham and leek pie and a couple of glasses of wine as a reward for my hard work. On Wednesday I did some tour guiding on campus to earn my pennies, and then caught an evening train home. Lovely to sleep in my own bed again!

On Thursday I went to York with my family (see previous post) and returned on Friday. In the evening I met up with a couple of friends from home who happened to be around, and we went for some drinks. Considering we only went to my local town, I had a brilliant night, as we actually went to places we wouldn't normally. The first was one of the three Belgian bars that Altrincham has, where you are presented with a huge menu that is solely beer based to choose your drinks from, and it is table service which is always a bonus. I had three different fruity beers, which were delicious. Afterwards we went to a bar called The Green Room, that had a live reggae style band playing. We finished in a cocktail bar called The Classroom, where I had an FBI- which had ice cream in it mmm!

Yesterday I travelled back to Lancaster early with the intention of getting some more diss done, but that didn't happen. In the evening we had a reunion for the play I was in last term, it was awesome to see everyone together again and I had a fab night. This post is yet another way of procrastinating from work again though, so I better get to it!
