A semi-illustrated (badly) guide to my last few days...

Friday

Well in the evening we had Unite (thats the big CU meeting) and it was being held in a big local church (see pic), so we packed out its pews and had a good time as always, with many notices and much signing up for things (ahh well at least its just like being at church at home:)) All this was followed by some pub visiting and many new people had the pleasure of meeting me and my germy coldyness. Then -taking some of the newly met people with us- we had a bit of a hot choc session in a kitchen.

Saturday

I did some work, slept and blew my nose.

Sunday

I went to a new frontiers church called 'Life' and had to catch the bus at 8.55 to get to it. shock horror :O. It meets in a cinema, obviously not whilst there is a film showing. Subsequently the seats were very comfy but I was disappointed that they did not hand out popcorn for mid-service snacks. In the afternoon I took myself and my excessively large french dictionary to Southampton common to sit in the sunshine and look for synonyms.

Monday

In today's history lecture we were told repeatedly "the best historians are the best communicators so keep your prose clear and simple". Obviously nobody has ever told that to all the historians whose books I've just read. I also had another french speaking class and we played the game mafia, but in french so it was called 'les loups' as it was about wolves instead of Italians. I still can't speak french.

I'm sure I have walked miles today, which is good considering the amount I'm eating. The thing is that as a student it is hard to gauge portions and only cook for one so me and my flat mates are all pretty much eating for 2-3 people :). I really need to go shopping though as I'm fast running out of remotely fresh vegetables. I know I'm getting desperate as I counted one of my five-a-day as the tomato sauce on my pizza. :S
