I'm in York!

Hurrah, I’m in York. I thought while I have a spare moment, I will update all my faithful readers as to how my new life is going.

So far, I’ve only been here for three nights, and there have been three fantastic house parties. I’ve also been to a nightclub for the first time which I thought was brilliant. It’s just a shame that I can’t dance that well…

I share a house in St. Lawrence Court, Halifax College with eight other people; four guys and four girls. On the top floor in the skylight rooms we have James, Adam and I. There is also a spare room, a toilet and a shower. On the middle floor are the four girls: Catharine, Susie, Kim and Sharon who is from Hong Kong. The bottom floor has the kitchen and the two Chinese guys, Ke and Parker. Fortunately we all like the same sort of music, which is great. Nobody likes crappy rapping, Hip-Hop shite.

Tonight is the beach Party at our local bar, JJ’s. Should be good fun, if not a little cold. I had a talk from the physics department this morning, who say that I have a 2 hour 45 minute maths test on Thursday. Fun eh?

There is plenty going on on campus all week. We’re off into town on Thursday night with our STYCs. I don’t know what it stands for, but they are our second year mentor people. Should be another late one.

Fortunately I have got the internet working. Cost me sixty pounds for a year, but well worth it methinks.

One final thing. My housemates and I have created a new sport. Well, it’s not new, but we’re going to start a society with it. It’s all about chair racing. Not just any old chair racing. Oh no, this is hard core serious racing. No wheels allowed by the way before you get any wise-guy ideas. You basically hop along on the chairs, but we have all terrain events as well. It’s not for whimps.

We did think this up at 0500 one morning, so don’t blame me if it sounds crap. It really is good fun. When you’re drunk.

I’ll post some photos when I have them.

Ciao for now.

Dane

P.S. Happy birthday Dave for today and Lewis for last week.

Reading: Bundles of literature from the department
Listening to: She is my sin (live) - Nightwish
Watching: Nothing. I have no TV. I miss it.
Thinking of buying: More text books. I need at least two more.
Looking Forward to: Muse in November
Confused about: How my radiator works
Annoyed with: The rain waking me up this morning
Mood: Happy but tired

It's George Smoot!

Everybody around me is leaving. Steve and Lewis have gone off to Sheffield, Jon and Rob are at Warwick, Dauveolas has gone to Bristol. Dave has gone to Wales. Not only this, but DREW has gone to Bath. Nooooo, not DREW!

At least Chard can keep me company for the next week.

I’m off to York on Friday, which is approaching far too quickly for my liking. Fortunately, I know somebody who is going to York, the one known as Nick, which is nice to know.

Lots has been happening since my last post way back in August I think.



This was taken at the sixth form ball in May. It’s one of the best group photos I have, except for Tim sneaking in there.



I’ve been going to plenty of football over the past few months. This was when Tottenham played Inter Milan in a friendly in July. Spurs won, of course. Since then, all is not well on the football front, but we won’t talk about that.

The second leg of the film marathon took place last month.



The Lord of the Rings Marathon. A fine day it was, hosted by Steve. Very long and tiring, but worth it.



Many a games day has been had. Jon has hosted the most. I even hosted one at the end of August. At one of Jon’s games days, DREW bought his plane that he built himself. It’s remote controlled, don’t you know. It’s seems DREW is a man of many talents.



Ah, the Laptop day at Dave’s house. This was good, although I could only link up to play Worms Armageddon, seeing as I don’t have generals. Good fun was had there.



Only last week, we played Pitch ‘n’ Putt at Sparrow’s den for the second time. It was just Jon, Dauve and I. I beat Dauve, making the wins at one a piece. Jon came hopelessly last, but it’s all about having fun, which we did.

I see Dauve has a new blog. I also see that he’s put Two Pints above me in the links on the right. Dauve, what are you doing. I demand to be moved! Anyway….

I’m sure all of my friends and I will stay in touch. I hope so. We will all make new friends, but let’s make sure we do not lose touch.

The “New Start”, as Dauve calls it, has come around so damn quickly, although the summer has been fantastic. Hopefully next summer will be even better with more Cinema trips, more bowling, more games days and most importantly, more Drunken Dauve.

I will post once I have something to say about York.

Until then, I bid you farewell (even though I’m not going anywhere until Friday).

We will meet again
