i went home last night(friday) cos i wanted to watch wigan rugby. only reason. i would rather stay at uni for the holidays than go home. but it would be a very lonely place during the holidays i suppose.

Was anyone else awoken by that thunder storm - at around 4am - last night? It literally made me jump, cause it was so loud lol! I think my room is rather exposed, being so high up and open to the wind. It meant that the wind and rain that followed seemed rather aggressive. Silly weather!


Yeah - mental, and I'm on the ground floor! I thought the underpass have caved it or something - it was crazy loud!

Not me, although I woke up to find my suitcase had fallen over in the middle of the night, so I'm trying to remember if I managed to sleep through that or not :P

Being so high up must be annoying for Lancaster's constant windy days and nights :wink:


It is a little windy up here lol. It manages to make my curtains billow even when my window is shut lol. Also, the wind has a nasty habit of 'catching' my window - if I leave it open a tiny bit. Last time I did that, I came back to my room to find my curtains flying out in the rain and all the sand from my zen garden gone lol!

:smile:

I was at a house party, and apparently some people really sketched out because of it, ha.

Lol, nah, I get plenty of weird looks on campus.

When I was coming back along the main road through campus yesterday I had 2 people at completely different spots shout at me to rev it and 1 guy who I let across a crossing walked across grinning at me, thumbs up!

I don't know why people find motorbikes so fascinating!


Do you park your bike outside of the Lonsdale park store?

Me and my friend have an agreement too - we either go to the lectures together or skip them together.


Haha, I actually have a similar arrangement with my friend in History. We spend a lot of time together socially, and so it's usually 'Hey, Vicky, you going to that History lecture tomorrow at 9?' 'Nah, probably not.' 'Oh, okay, me too'. It's ace.
Last time we tried a mass skive some guy said he'd kick us out of a student facebook group if we "tried anything like that again"

If we weren't in a lecture when he said that I would have verbally destroyed him. I think the feeling was mutual with everyone else who heard it.
:lolwut:

Sounds like a bit of a prick, that.

Nope, down by the Cartmel bike sheds.
Just noticed that Google has finally been updated regarding campus. Since I started back in 2008, it has shown the old layout with no southwest campus and the old buildings up here for Furness and Fylde. Now, it seems to be bang up to date. :smile:

[Please don't judge me for noticing lol!]

For those still on campus: Have you been having any problems with bandwidth at the moment?

Normally, I can watch things on iPlayer etc without any problems but these past couple of days it has been buffering a lot/not playing properly.

It is a bit random as I imagine there are far fewer people using the internet on campus right now than during term time. :/

Oh, and I checked the resnet usage thing. I am way, way under, so it isn't related to that. :smile:
I ordered 4 different 2012 univeristy prospectuses on 4th april (11 days ago) and 3 have come. The only one that hasnt is Lancaster... Should I wait a bit longer or oder another one in case it got lost? Thanks

thats weird. i constantly have problems with it buffering in term time. but if you dont then its weird why there would be a problem now. i player shouldnt even count towards your quota and even if you were over, it wouldnt slow down iplayer or any other 'normal' internet usage. both my and my flat mate have discussed the annoyance when it stops buffering and the only way to get it playing again is to reload and skip forward :\.

i never ordered one, i picked one up in person. but i know that lancaster can be very slow in areas. maybe give em a ring. tell then you ordered on 11 days ago and see what they say. they may just order another for you there and then.
