Pretty much my week in pictures

:)

A little more life and times of me

hellooo. I do realise that I haven't managed to update for ages. I have no real excuse so shall not attempt to make one.

This term is going so impossibly fast that I have no idea where all my time has gone-- probably spread between my four main activities eating, reading, socialising and facebook. errrm well I will attempt to give a quick run through of the most important things in life chez chloe
- I have a house for next year which is soooo amazing and right by the Uni
- CU events week went really well
- I went to Soul Survivor on Tour here and it was great
- all my work is distinctly average in terms of interestingness
- I have a replacement ladybird umbrella
- I have a new pot of peanut butter

Today has been a beautiful sunny day but sadly I haven't managed to get out as I have got an awful cold so have been sat in bed today surrounded by damp tissues, coughing all over the place and generally being coldy. I have so much of a cold that it hurts when I move my eyes, my nose is bright red and I have run out of strepsils. But it has meant that I can justify doing very little work today so I'm happy :)

Wahey we have... rain.oh.

Yesterday my day was as good as the weather, in some parts of the country they may have got a foot of snow- we received a foot of rain, and gale force winds and a severe weather warning.

I had to be up early and on campus to pick up the university housing list and get ringing people up so we could view a load, after this I was in the 24/7 prayer tent for an hour which although great was sooo soggy and sooo cold. (Its the CU events week here) I had five minutes for lunch after a history meeting and then off to look at houses. So for about 3 hours I traipsed around in the freezing cold, with the peeing it down sort of rain. I had broken wellies, a broken kagool and a broken umbrella. We eventually decided upon a second viewing of a house so that the rest of our flatmates could see it as we kinda liked it and desperately needed a house. Just as we left we received a call to say that it had just been let.

Sadly this did not mean the end of walking around in the rain, one of our flatmates who finished her lectures at 6 was going to meet us down there and we had no way of contacting her because her phone battery had died. So, of course we had to walk down anyway to tell her...

... An hour later I did get back to my room, bedraggled, cold, having not eaten and with irrational thoughts of homelessness in my second year.

and no this is not the end of me walking around in the rain because at night (well early mornings) between midnight and 8am the CU allocates hall groups to do 24/7 prayer slots. I was particularly grateful to have been given a session between 12 and 2.30 to organise, but even so the prospect of sitting in that soggy and freezing tent again- which by this point was mostly underwater- was not that welcome. After having put on EVERYTHING that I own (including a hot water bottle stuffed up my hoody) we ventured down to the tent only to discover that is was so flooded that we had to go and pray in the chaplaincy instead. This was great... except the fact that I was wearing a billion layers fully prepared to freeze, not burn up in a heated building.

Sadly in the last few days, due to my insane busyness/ trying to dry out wet clothes on the radiator this has happened to my room...:)

Theres no business like snow business...

Walking back from lectures this morning I got absolutely drenched in snow... I'm frantically trying to dry everything off on my radiator before I have to go to my afternoon seminars. The problem is that my stuff got snowed on, the snow melted and then in turned to ice, so my scarf was so stiff!

the little snowman...

snow angels...

me after the snow angel. also how much snow has Bristol got cos on the radio this morn they said it was still snowing heavilly in the west?

You lot in hot countries are seriously missing out...

this morning I happened to wake up at 7 and immediately could tell that something was different because of the colour of the light that was coming through my window...

I discovered this...

and have had such a groovy morning playing in the snow. who needs hot weather? :)
