Helloooo :happy:

Well I haven’t written a post in a little while so I thought I’d update you all on what’s going down in Warwick. Last week and the beginning of this week were pretty work-heavy; I had two essays to hand in at the beginning of this week as well as lots of reading to do for both English and French, translation work for my Middle English class, grammar and translation work for various French classes and discussion preparation for my seminars. However after a hectic weekend and a very late night of essay-writing on Monday the work is slacking off a bit in preparation for the glorious reading week which is happening next week! Basically we’re given work and reading to get on with and we don’t have any seminars or lectures to go to. Some people are going home but because I still have Orchestra and Choir rehearsals to go to and my two shifts in the library, I’ll be sticking around and just going home next Friday morning for a long weekend.

This weekend I’m heading off to Alveston, which is near Stratford-upon-Avon, with the Chamber Choir. We’re setting off on Saturday morning and rehearsing all day, then we may go to a fireworks display in the evening and on Sunday morning we have some free time to mill around in Stratford. On Sunday afternoon we have another rehearsal and then we’re performing in the evening. I’m really looking forward to it – my first proper concert at Warwick. In terms of other musical stuffs, I have a concert coming up on the 12th with the Wind Orchestra and on the 18th we’re competing in the National Concert Band Festival, which should be pretty exciting. :happy:

This blog seems to be going backwards, so let me tell you about last weekend! On Saturday I went into Leamington with my flatmates Jason, Daniel and Sophie, and we had a browse around some of the shops there. It’s about ten million times nicer than Coventry and there’s this massive park with a lake and fountains and a river with boats for hire – I shall certainly be taking John there as a sequel to our punting adventure in Cambridge. On Saturday evening we had our Halloween Ball in the Student’s Union, which was good fun. We were planning on going as the Addams Family but because of various reasons with the tickets selling out and those without tickets buying different costumes to have a party at home instead, and then more tickets being released on the website after all, we had three members of the Addams Family – me as Morticia, Mannie as Gomez and Yee Hung as Uncle Fester, and a caveman (Jason), a witch (Soph) and Zorro (Daniel). We all looked rather spiffing if I do say so myself!

Other than that I don’t think I have anything to say. Ooh, except going back to music again (sorry for boring you but it’s the only thing I do other than work ), I’m going on tour with the Symphony Orchestra in Easter, woot! We’re going to Salzburg, how awesome is that?

I really am finished now. If you are reading this, think to yourself: hmm that looks fun, I should write a whasblog too I want to hear from you all! Now! Toodle pip ^^ xxx
