Urgh

I can’t remember feeling this tired and hungover simultaneously for a while. I’ve just been over to Costcutters and bought a litre of orange juice and a big bar of chocolate (smarties in while chocolate!) in an attempt to make myself feel a little better. I got four hours’ sleep in the end last night, and I could really have done with a bit more!

Last night did remind me that Bows definitely gets better the longer you stay away from it, though. A good night, but I’m really paying for it today!

Graduation Day

…Went far better than I expected in the end, despite all the standing in queues in uncomfortable shoes and sitting in hot halls in about seventeen seperate layers of clothing. The weather turned good, it was good to see a few people who I hadn’t seen for a while, and everyone seemed generally happy.

Here’s a photo of me outside Viva after drinking my cappuccino, which helped a lot.

Braindump

Sometimes I wish I could just blog the contents of my head as it is at a particular moment in time, no matter how little sense it would make to anyone else.

Right now is one of those moments.

I’m currently listening to One By One by the Foo Fighters, after sitting in the Union for a few hours listening to mostly Foo Fighters and Nirvana on Q, while playing pool and chatting about random stuff (earlier on I downloaded Avril Lavigne’s Under My Skin, so I think my musical taste score this evening just about totals zero).

This afternoon I got my full results from this year. My highest mark was 72% for my group project. I did better in some than I thought, worse in others than I would have liked. I failed one module. I got over 60% for the year, which is an improvement on the previous year’s effort, giving me almost exactly 62% for the whole course. I graduate on Wednesday and I’m so glad it’s all over, but in the best possible way.

I’ve just spent £15 having nearly 60 photos covering the last few weeks of last term (Ofoto rocks! They give you a web form and you upload your photos using a browser!). It took me quite a while going through the hundreds of photos I must have taken during that time to pick out the best ones, mainly because I kept stopping to reminisce.

I’m going to bed now to read another chapter of The Chamber of Secrets (I’m playing catch-up, I know). Then I’m going to get up early tomorrow. It’s going to be a good day, I just know it.

From dusk to dawn

Last night’s Final Fling was without doubt one of the best nights out of my entire life. I’ll try and post a bit more about it soon when I’m less tired and in less of a hurry to get out to Leamington, but in the meantime here’s the better half of the 170-odd photos I took last night.

Time off

I’ve just spent the last two days in Birmingham generally hanging around over the course of the Pride weekend. Randomly hanging around big cities for a couple of days majorly rocks, it’s something I spent all summer doing in London but haven’t had the chance to do so much lately.

We went on the march on Saturday, which was good, but lacked something without the floats there. Got some good photos, though. I’ll try to post the rest sometime soon, but here’s one of Clare, Ali and Caz in the meantime.

Jamie’s birthday in Oxygen was also fun, though I suspect I would have enjoyed it slightly more if it wasn’t for the splitting headache I had by Saturday night and the lack of sleep from the night before…

Dancing around the kitchen

For some reason I’ve been in a really good mood since last night. It had been a while since I’d been to Bows, and it was nice to remind myself that I haven’t lost all social functions while I’ve been locked up on campus over the last few weeks.

I didn’t take my camera so there’s no ‘hilarious’ photos from the night, I’m afraid. Instead, here’s (another) photo of the sun setting over Heronbank I took a couple of days ago.

Scorchio

Either someone at the BBC is having a laugh, or we’re actually going to have some of the nicest weather this year in the run up to my exams. This soo isn’t going to help my revision…

Keeping sane

I’ve been a bit busy revising lately, hence the lack of posting and general life. My finals start on Tuesday and go on for 16 days, so I won’t be having much fun until they’re over.

Currently keeping me sane are good company and short walks around campus. Here’s a few photos I took last night.
