I head back to uni on Sat so I guess reminicising this holiday isn't so odd.

I've been back nearly a month and other than shed loads of revision, I just don't feel like I've accomplished anything with my holiday. Because of stuff that happened in the last week of uni I spent the first couple of weeks wishing I was back in Birmingham getting on with my life. (Being in Ipswich is like pressing the pause button) And yet during this last week, when I finally really feel settled back home and relaxed; now it's nearly time to go back. Going back means uncertainty, a prospect that apparently, in general, the human race doesn't like. Uncertainty over relationships with a certain friend that was left somewhat precarious, uncertainty over exams, and uncertainty over housing. I'm sure(ish) that they'll all be ok, but still sometimes I wish I knew what life had in store, but then I guess it wouldn't be as much fun would it?

Life

OK, I realise I haven't blogged since last December, and to see me appear on here will probably be like seeing a body rising out of the grave, but nevermind.

So unlike the slacker that is Snivelly I've been in Birmingham for 2 weeks, and I've fallen in love with the place already. (although maybe not the course. anatomy is evil) Unfortunately I don't think my bank balance would agree, the shopping up here is amazing, as is the nightlife, in fact the only thing that isn't amazing is the weather, it's rained everyday apart from the day I moved in on, what's going on there.

This morning, I realised I had only 1 pair of socks left and so I braved the launderette, amazingly none of my clothes have acquired a new colour, I didn't flood the room or set the tumble drier on fire and best of all I haven't even poisoned myself yet...a rather successful start to uni life I feel..............................except for the fresher's flu. :-(

P.S. please someone leave a comment on this, so I know people can see it, can't really remember how to use this thing. ta.xxxxxxxxx

Feeding the masses...

with snippets of my life.

Went up to London last Friday for a rendez-vous with a couple of non-school friends and Lee. Much excitement, including my first EVER trip to Hamleys, Yes, I was a deprieved child. *ahhhhh* In the evening went to Vertigo 42, if you haven't heard of this champagne bar click below cos you are equally deprieved, although most likely better in pocket than I am after the cheapest bottle worked out as £10 a glass. Most amazing views over London, so romantic...

Kinda regretted the wine when I had to be at work at 7:30am after catching the last train home. Just for general amusement dialogue at work that day:
Hostess: 'Morning. *pause* Have you got a boyfriend'
Me: 'Erm, yes, why?'
Hostess: 'You should buy him a sandwich'
Me: 'Wtf, why?'
Hostess: 'So he doesn't have to eat your neck...'

Has anyone else gotten so drunk they didn't realise they had the hugest hickey on their neck?

And finally to finish with the old brag and leave: GUESS WHO GOT INTO BIRMINGHAM MED SCHOOL. *insert celebration here*

Work

After my somewhat dramatic last blog I thought I should drop by again to say it's actually rather good.

Monday, was mainly filled with paperwork and learning how to make beds, why they can't use fitted sheets I will never understand. From then on it's got steadily better as I've made friends and we're learning more clinical type work. Tomorrow is the joyful moving and handling practical course, so no doubt I'll come home with multiple bruises where I've been dropped, but probably not as many as the people I practice on will have!!!

On the wards in a week and a bit, rather excited. Went up to my ward for 1st time this afternoon to say hello and they're really friendly with a couple of fit student nurses, I'm gonna be gutted if they're gay. I'm working 40hours that first week when I'm meant to be on 27.5...hmmm, think someone cocked up somewhere.

(no subject)

Well apparently its been 5 weeks since I last blogged, and due to my repeated absences from sociaI gatherings,I thought I should let you all know that I'm still alive and haven't disappeared off the face of the planet!

Updates on the life of Sarah include:

1. A week in Italy

2. Too many visits to the Royal George, those of you who know which pub I mean will no doubt be growning now, and other fine locations in Ipswich

3. Gaining the NRASTC (National Rescue Test for Swimming Teachers and Coaches)

4. Depression that everyone is disappearing off and that I'm still stuck with the Steerage

FINALLY and MOST importantly, at this moment I am overwhelmed with excitement as a certain film is coming out on the disney channel next Friday (21st)...yes it could only be...............HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2

Quick? update

Main points since I last blogged...

Leipzig, Germany.

The location of this year's wind band tour. Despite the slightly disappointing lack of sunshine; the swishy 4* hotel and restuarants, and no breakdowns at all made for a fantastic tour. May add to this entry later to give you details, if I remember.

The 2nd twice annual facepack party

Tessa does fish face (Yoodling face)

Last night :-(

Thorpe Park

So to celebrate Matt's 19th birthday, He, Lee and myself jumped in the car on Friday night and passed the 2 hour drive to Egham and Royal Holloway with a good old disney singalong, stopping on route to pick up another trouper, Nick. By the time we reached Egg and Ham we were firmly established as a family, Matt (Daddy) was the driver, Nick (Mummy) was the front seat passenger, whilst due to our constant playful bickering Lee and I were christened the children, a slightly incetious family but there you go!!!

After an unfortunate lack of communication over whether the sauce jar was open and a subsequent unfortunate red stain on the floor we watched a film and went to sleep.

Matt's Little Accident

Saturday we headed off to Thorpe park and crafterly managed to get 5 of us in for the price of 1, SCORE! A brilliant day, which can't be done justice in a blog. To end the day we bought, built and cooked on a BBQ, before freaking ourselves out with ghost stories.

I'm not short, and Lee's not a chav...Really...

Just a lil bit wet after the adeptly named 'Tidal Wave'

Yayness for group shot

Sunday, a trip out for lunch in Windsor and then a tour of Royal Holloway, before heading back home. A perfect weekend.

Just for Snivelly...

It's Waffle time, lol...

A 'waffle' is a light batter cake and a 'potato waffle' is a British savoury made from, yes you guessed it, reconstituted potato.

International Waffle Day is celebrated annually, on the 25^th of March.

Weird Americans

Having got in from the pub about midnightish I found myself completely unable to sleep, think my extra few hours sleep a night have finally exceeded what my body actually needs and I simply CAN'T sleep anymore!!!

After staying out of Mum's way until she left for work, (for fear that she would leave me another 20 million tasks to do during the day) I emerged from my safe haven and ventured forth into town where I encountered a somewhat eccentric 70 year old American. Said man proceeded to inform me exactly how amazing this bag of ice cubes he was buying was and how I really should get some. Apparently if you put them in your fridge they stay frozen and will miraculously kill all bacteria in any water you put them in, as all British water is totally undrinkable when it hasn't been purified, obviously. Lol.

Escapee chicken

You know life has become particularly dull, when you find chasing a random chicken around the garden and trying to reunite it with its owner is fun. (Personally I think we should have just eaten it and I'm fairly sure the cat agrees with me!) Pictures possibly to follow... Reminds me of pet rescue in the good old days, lol.

Coffee shop amusement

So while the rest of you were being rained on at Lothian's pool party I felt the time had come for a good old catch-up with my gay mate Matt. After a short trip to Sainsbury's to find olives we then proceeded to cafe nero, apparently home to the white chocolate hot chocolate. Having settled down in a cosy armchair I found myself whacked over the head, and having spent the whole of the morning watching 24 was therefore certain that someone was trying to assainate me. All was fine though as it was just the preferred method of greeting from my friend Jerome. However, to add insult to injury he then proceeded to place a sticker upon me, YES, a sticker!!! Jerome sadly had to leave shortly after to catch a train and so Matt and I braved the great outdoors and prayed it wouldn't rain before we reached the cinema. By this stage I felt a little bit stupid due to the fact that it was pouring and I was wearing flip-flops, but at least my feet dried quickly. However, somewhat typically for my feet, no-one will be surprised to hear that whilst walking between cardinal park and town, and back again, my feet developed yet another blister. *rolls eyes*

Bus hatred

Ok, well basically I blame the bus for the fact that I failed my driving test this morning. The damn thing refused to let me change lanes when it knew I had like 10 metres in which to do so... and when I moved over into the lane it staged this really goddam fake emergency stop, like it was about to crash. Seriously there was no way it would have done...We were going at like 15 miles an hour and it had to stop anyway because another bus stopped in front of it! GRRRRRRRRR.

Sorry, mini rant over. :D

Procrastination

It has come to the time again to do that thing that I can't spell.
My exciting day today:
F,F+E exam paper
UC paper
Trip into town for bread (exercise is meant to be good for you guys)
Neighbours, lunch
24 (couldn't resist)
Another F,F+E and UC paper
Which brings us to now...

perhaps I shall shortly do some chemistry, but i consider it to be unlikely...

Finally I leave you with the final fulfilling information on my life, which is that we had a water meter fitted today. The information pack it came with had a game in it called 'The Water family'...humm, game or chem, i wonder which will really happen...laters.

ARGHHHH

Does anyone else feel like they've left their revision far too late and are going to miserably fail EVERYTHING?!! Naturally having reached this stage I should be working my socks off, but instead felt the need to take yet another 'break' and inform you that I will indeed be spending the rest of my life as a dustbin lady...

Sad news

I'm afraid that it is my sad duty to inform you all that after a short period of suffering in which he lost much weight my beloved birthday balloon sadly faded away earlier today due to internal bleeding. You mustn't be too sad however for he made it to the ripe old age of 3 months and 1 day old!
