Whasblog

Hellooo one and all. I’m supposed to be working at the moment but really can’t be arsed to write a 500 word letter to my fake french friend about cloning, so I’m going to write a blog instead.

I’m in week three of term now and everything’s going pretty well…I’m not liking the huge amount of work we suddenly seem to have as second years, but managing to get by. I’ve had a few musicy things going on - did a concert last week with the symphony and wind orchestras, which went reasonably well. My french horn is at the doctor’s at the moment because the trigger is broken but my lovely friend Michael has been lending me his in the meantime. My friend Genny, who is a very busy and important lady, president of the warwick drama society and directs lots of shows, is directing an Opera this term (Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas? Anyone know it?). Anywho I thought it might be fun to try out something knew with singing, and all my best friends here are involved in it in various ways too, so I auditioned for that on Monday (not for a principle part or anything, just chorus). I’d unfortunately lost my voice on the day of the audition, but luckily the musical director is a friend of mine too from choir, so he’d heard me sing lots of times before and said he could offer me a callback based on that… so I did my callback on Thursday, and this morning I found out that I got a part in the chorus So that’s snazzy. The show will be at the end of November in various venues in Leamington, Warwick, Birmingham, and it’s also going to the actors’ church in Covent Garden which is quite exciting. So if anyone’s around then do come and watch, Genny’s got so many awesome ideas for it so it’ll be accessible to all - opera-fans and opera-newbies! Also, it’s Purcell, so it’s in English!

In other news, my good friend Ingrid who I met in France and went to visit in Barcelona over the summer is coming to England to visit me and Joel in ten days’ time! So that’s really exciting For those who don’t know (I can’t remember if I wrote about it in my blog about France), Joel does French at Warwick but I met him in France on our vacation residence. So this afternoon I went round to his house for tea and biscuits and to plan our week of awesome funness with Ingrid We’ll hopefully do a day trip to London, an evening trip to Birmingham and take her to all the good places around here. There’s this cocktail bar that Gen told me about that I really want to try out…it sounds weird but apparently it has this open-air section with beds that you can lie on and look at the stars…hehe!

Other than that I don’t really have any news…it’s just been the usual work, library shifts, music and various nights out. Some really good ones actually. Wootzorz… oh yes, and the new house is pretty good, we’ve had some hiccoughs involving a leaky roof and general broken stuff, but all has been fixed. There’s an alarm that’s been going off in the hall since Thursday but our landlord said we have to wait for the battery to run down so he can replace it, which is proving quite wearing! I really love my room, which is nice and big this year. I’ve taken some photos but it won’t seem to let me upload them, so just imagine quite a big room with a frame around the bed and lots of photo collages on the wardrobe. Yay!

I better get on with that work now…hope everyone is well, enjoying the second year / fresher year (noob!) / work and college! Over and out

Hello peeps. 2008 is disappearing before our very eyes and I for one am scared about how fast time is flying! I’ve been at college for a month already but , if the truth were known, haven’t really learnt very much. This isn’t helped by the fact that I only go for 3 hours a week but we’re slowly getting there. Work is going really well. I love nursing and I’m getting up to speed now. I’m pretty confident of all the procedures that we do in our practice now and I’m finally starting to relax a bit more in surgery. I really feel settled here and I’m getting to know the patients well.

Also I’m very excited about the new series of Stictly!!

Glad to hear that everyone seems to be settling into another year of uni.

Toodles.

And so I am.

Hello everyone! Hope the various movings-in are going well. I have heard of several problematics with internet and moving in and whatnot, so I hope those all get sorted out swiftly and your new places are perfectly cromulent.

Things are good here, I’m starting to learn how living in a house makes some of the inhabitants more annoying than previously. We’re all starting to complain about how it’s just us who does the cleaning and tidying up. No falling out yet though! On the bright side we have amazing internet and overpriced TV. That’s what you get for not being in the house over the summer when other people are! The downside of this is its fairly expensive, but the upside is I don’t have to look after any bills and there’s so many channels that Friends is always on at least one of them… yay?

My room is a little more homely now also, with a large plant purchased. Photo slightly enhanced through the magicks of Photoshop.

I’m in the second week of lectures now, so projects are starting to get underway and the realisation of another year of work is slowly dawning.

Anyway I’m sure I had more to say than this, but to save you all from drivel I shall depart!

Good luck with the moving in and courses starting and and, well everything else you might be up to.
