Greetings everyone :happy:
I thought I’d write a quick updatey-type blog since I don’t have much else to do at the moment except work, which I’m not quite in the mood for yet. :] Everything at Warwick is proceeding as normal – my flatmate is hopefully getting his cast off today (see my last blog if you didn’t know about the when-forearm-meets-glass situation), and I’m back into balancing-work-with-lots-of-music mode. So far it’s going pretty well – in fact, last week the six of us from the flat managed to all go out together on two occasions, which is quite rare. We went to the union on Monday, and on Thursday we went to the Arts Centre to see the musical version of Sweeny Todd, which was put on by the music theatre society. It was absolutely fantastic. :happy:
However, the most exciting thing that happened last week was … *drum roll* … We signed the contract for our house for next year! Yay! We’ve been house-hunting for absolutely ages and we really thought we were going to be living in boxes on the street because houses were being taken literally every minute. But we finally found one that’s in a great area, has six bedrooms, two bathrooms, nice sitting room and kitchen, little patio garden…all is well. It’s also really close to this big grassy hill that looks like it would be great for sledging. And picnics. :3
I don’t really have much other news. Doing a concert tonight with Consort, and we have another one next Thursday in which I’m doing a solo – extremely nervous about that. I have several other things coming up in the next few weeks which I’m looking forward to:
- John is coming to Warwick this weekend, yay!
- I’m going home next weekend, and John will also be there, yay!
- It’s my birthday the week after that, yay!
- It’s the music centre masquerade ball the weekend after that, yay!
- I’m going to Cardiff to see my brother compete in the Brass Finals of BBC Young Musician of the Year the week after that, yay!
And that’s about it. :happy: Yay!
And here we are a week later and still haven’t started house hunting :happy: :cup:
Sounds like a lovely house though, I really want to see it! I’m looking forward to all those things as well. Henry playing tuba-related achievement is rather cool. What do you want for your birthday? :buck:
yay birthdayness! and valentinesness! but mainly yay birthdayness!
congrats on the house, me and tammy are going looking for houses for next year this saturday.
Wow!!! Firstly, congratulations on getting the house, as Freddie saya, we are going house hunting on saturday, after i finish work. I’m glad you enjoyed Sweeney Todd, from what I’ve heard of the Johnny Depp version, it’s got rather a lot of blood, but I think its worth seeing. I’m glad you get to see John, well done you guys for going the distance… and it is a long way.
Good point, Soph, what would you like for your birthday?
Good luck for next Thurday, but I’m sure you’ll be awesome.
:music: :happy:
Well done, on the house. lem or cov. im in north lem next year.
Yay indeed!!
I can’t believe how early you guys have to start looking for houses. Is is really THAT competitive?!
Wow…19 years old (nearly)…now THAT’S old!!
I really wanted to see the new Sweeney Todd film as I (mostly) love Tim Burton but when I saw it was an 18, I decided against it.
All the best for your solo Soph.
John: It seems like the househunting panic-rush is only happening for some unis at the moment. Soph’s boyfriend at Brunel hasn’t started looking yet either. :]
Fred & Tammy: I hope the househunting went well! Tis very exciting :happy:
Rosie: I’m North Leam too! It’s not very far north though, about five minute’s walk from the parade.
Robyn: John and I saw it at the cinema on Saturday – I liked it but definitely not your cup of tea. The deaths were extremely gory D:
what is Soph’s boyfriend at burnel’s name?
Thuan Nguyen – I think he does mechanical engineering.
don’t know him
