See my year abroad thread in the languages forum.........it's not amazing tbh......:frown:
Oh, and Peach, congrats, you have freshers' flu........:hugs:
Oh my GOD I love it here!

I was shaking when I first arrived lol(I actually dropped a bottle of wine on the floor...alky no?haha)....but aww,everyone is so nice:smile:

I'm knackered though...had about 4 hours sleep since I got here...and I have serious freshers' flu....it's so painful to swallow.I can speak but I can't swallow without pain.Meh.

I literally spent all day in queues for registration today though:frown:

Last night in Walkabout was a bit crazy!There were sooooooooo many people....you couldn't really dance....hmm.

Anyway I'm going to get off the internet and socialise haha.

Registration as a fresher sucks, but you won't have to do queues like that ever again, so don't worry. Honey and lemon for you!!!
Walkabout was ace last night.

If someone was hit by a flying shield, my apologies go out to you.

*cuddle*

lol I told my boyfriend about freshers flu. I don't think he believed me =P

I'm so dissapointed. I was really looking forward to the toga party tonight. I have a great outfit! But I'm too sick. It feels like god has stuffed cotton wool inside my head. And spening 3 hours in queues today wouldn't have helped >_<

Matriculation at 9am so I want to get better for that.

I'm determined to attend the beach party on Sat.

Oooooh I'm such a moaning old grannny :tongue:

There's a beach party ? Please tell me you're not going to the beach...
Hello!

I got to Durham at about 2pm on the Sunday. The people on my floor are really nice. We all hang out in one guy's room (Ed) and talk/drink wine before we go to dinner which is awesome.

I was at Walkabout last night and I have to say it was pretty packed. I could barely move! Singing Collingwood songs made it all worthwhile though. I'm sure some people from Grey were pretty pissed off lol.

Anyway, why am I up at 6:56am? Well apparently there's supposed to be a fire drill this morning but it hasn't gone yet. :confused:

Oh and Collingwood bar is the best. No question. :biggrin:

P.S. Thanks for the wine last night Robbie! :smile:

Nahhh, Hild Bede is where it's at! Last night I was gonna go to The Loft (entrance free for HB-ers) with my college dad but then I was waylaid by a load of people on my floor who were sat around in the beer garden. We ended up going back to my room and partying with dubious vodka-plus-hot-drink cocktails, 2 guitars, a keyboard and a harmonica. Not to mention that my window is right next to the roof. Cue climbing fun. Needless to say, my room is now the worse for wear. And there are coffee granules all over the floor. Oops.

My freshers' photo will be interesting.

You're obviously all wrong, Cuth's rules. We rocked Walkabout last night for the toga party! Everyone looked like they were having a great time! :biggrin: Still haven't seen any oldies out and about, where's everyone been going?!

By the way, there's live music in Cuth's bar tonight, if any of you other college-dwellers want to have a far greater time than you will at your own bar! :biggrin:
My timetable is like this for social things:

Today: Wood for quiz and scavengers hunt - I will be home before midnight... which is RARE. I then have to do Chemistry work which apparently is meant to be done over 3 weeks and is 75 hours worth. I am skeptical I will finish for 9am tomorrow... slightly skeptical.

Thursday - Building a stage and doing decor for a retro bop at t'Wood - going to dress as the Fonz I think, or something orange. I just really want to wear finger gloves.

Friday - Probably running the first badminton of the year and being dead inside from having started lectures (I cant skip my first two days of them, can I?!) I really am considering it.

Turn over a new leaf my frigging arse.

Last night I was in studio by myself (well at first) since I didnt want to go home at 1am.

You are welcome to the wine Chris, I cant keep downing bottles of the stuff, I almost threw up drinking it last night (probably because I poured half of it in a snakebite and necked the *******s).

New drink of choice - shark and smirnoff ice.

The freshers of the wood are awesome, and a sizeable group of them have fondly (I think) nicknamed me as: 'The man with the moves'. I keep getting shoved into the middle of circles and clapped to dance.

I AM NOT A ROBOT!!

Nice seeing you again Christo, though I do wonder if you remember.

And Benners, he saw how much I hate wine!!

That was a ****ing random post.

Love the TSR, don't hate it.
When I find the f**ker who thought it funny to microwave a rubber duck at 4am I am going to KILL them.

2 fire alarms in 3 hours.I am suffering:frown:

I also stupidly wore my slippers to go outside and they got soaked through..I grabbed my slippers but searched for my coat....hmm logical.

Seriously,I am so ill:frown:

I was wrecked last night haha....I didn't realise it at the time but I was quite drunk...hmm.I stole some guy's hat...oops.

Oooh I also met someone off here....he came on, like,twice or something...Tiedye Dave????I met him...I was like 'OH MY GOD YOU GO ON THE STUDENT ROOM!' haha...what a loser.

We went into Brown Sugar today...the service absolutely sucks.In fact,we didn't get served!We had to go for our meeting with out floor rep...so...I think that says it all.Comfy sofas though.

Widowmaker-lol kind of jinxed yourself there...fire alarm went off about 3 minutes after you posted that!You're on J5 aren't you?Is that Ed with the multi-coloured spotted duvet cover?He knocked on my door on the first day...keep saying hi to him but not much else....oh,I was shaking his hand for about 5 minutes the other night when I was drunk though haha.

Anyhoo I do think it's time for our daily tea party in the pantry!Byeeeeeeee!

haha, Don't really know why I think that is funny, just the image of a rubber duck melting probably. Although I wouldn't have been pleased if I had to suffer the fire alarm.
