End of term disco was pretty cool on Friday. Although there were bad bits, the good bits mostly made up for them, and I had a good time :). It did feel more like a Top Banana than an end of term disco though, and I still can't believe the first term has come to an end so quickly.

Went bowling on Saturday with Tanya, Andy and James, followed by a shopping trip to Asda (where I spent faaar too much money), a trip to the cinema to see Harry Potter, and a red wine drinking session.

But that was the weekend, and since then it's been a bit boring round here, what with only me and Tanya being in the house now. Clare's gone home and Mary's gone skiing. It all feels a bit weird really. It is the season of good will and everyone's supposed to be happy and cheerful. But it's difficult to be like that, when you're separated from the majority of your friends that you seem to rely on so much now. And even more so when you have to go home and deal with family, dial-up Internet connections and mud. Not necessarily in that order, obv. But I get nice presents, so it can't be all that bad I guess.

Went shopping in Leam today to buy Christmas presents. Came back with an extension lead for the washing machine, two pairs of rubber gloves for cleaning the house, and a bag of stuff from Tesco. So all in all not too successful, and I'll have to go back again tomorrow morning. But I don't mind, as it means I have an excuse to wander round clothes/music/book shops going 'oooh'.

Planning on going onto campus in the afternoon to sit in Xananas for as long as possible. Meeting Luke for lunch, and hopefully seeing other people too. If you're around let me know. Although admittedly that last statement only applies to about three people - you know who you are anyway :).
