As predicted, woke up about 3:05pm.
Last night just as I was about to watch Naruto, I got a call from Heather, although she hung up right away. Maybe she was doing that trick where you call someone, hang up, then wait for them to call back so that it won't cost you anything.
If so, her plan worked perfectly.
I phoned and asked what she was after, she just asked if I was up (it was 4am) and came round to hang out.
Felt a bit bad inviting her in as my room was a state to the point you could barely see the carpet (although that might actually be a good thing considering the colour of it).
Like any student up at 4am, she was off her face. Told me a story about how she went to some west indian club and think she is a bit high off fumes now.
Also she kept asking whether I was the mystery person who kept phoning her :S
I'm not THAT sad to do that.
She ended up leaving at about 5am cos she needed water and I finished watching the double episode of Naruto, it was a good episode, the one when Shikamaru defeats Hidan and when Naruto finally shows up using his new rasengan attack. WHOAOAAOAOA!
So anyway, after last night, realised if I was going to invite people into my room, I should at least make it presentable. So proceeded to clean it up.
Was doing so for about 10 minutes when Tim came to my window and asked if I wanted to go with him and some others to Hogshead to watch the football and have an all day breakfast for £2.99.
I didn't care about the football, but was up for the breakfast, so decided to go along with him.
Once outside met Will and we walked there talking about the events of last night.
Tim said that he and Ben ended up taking K and were feeling really mellow. I also so someone else who must have had a huge overdose, as at the end of the night he needed 3 people to carry him up the stairs and was a mess.
I mean he was in such a state he'd make a 15 year old girl who was unsure of her limits and drank loads of wine for the first time in her life look stone sober.
Yes, THAT bad.
Heather even said there was an ambulance outside that same night, so wonder if it was for him :|
So, we got to Hogshead and saw a load of people from Warwick in there who were on a mystery tour. Our breakfasts came (they were actually £4, Tim lied!) and so did Ben M, who stayed for about 5 minutes then had to leave as he had so much to do.
As he was walking out a goal got scored by Aston Villa (24 seconds into the match).
I then told Will and Tim that if Villa win this game, I will support them, as up until now, Sean has tried to convert me to Man U, and Scott to Man City, and wasn't sure who to pick.
Eventually I had to leave too to tidy my room and left with the score being 1 - 1 (other team was Everton).
So, I cleaned my room, which actually took a lot shorter than I expected. In the proccess I even found a whole bottle of salad cream that has been there since day one, haha.
Then I had to wash my clothes.
I counted up all my change but was 10p short, so tidied up some more and foun 50p worth of change.
YES!
Set them to wash and it was time for work.
Or so I thought.
I wanted to do maths and chemistry, but both of which involved the use of logarithms.
However, I have a crappy calculator that can't seem to do them properly which meant I was unable to do anything.
So I basically spent the whole day doing nothing and now need to buy a new calculator for £7.
Gota call from parents too, thought I'd add that in there, as well as a text from Will saying that Villa won 3 - 2.
I'm now a Villa supporter!
So yeah, tbh I have gotten really really lazy. Just cba to do anything which doesn't need to be done. As Geology work load is very little compared to other subjects as it seems everyone else is really busy whilst I haven't once been too nailed down with workload.
At least, I hope that's the case, if not them I am on a one way road to fail land.
Also remembered I got a mineral test on Tuesday and have done shit all revision for it, so should be fun.
Think tomorrow night is either Puro or gatecrasher, eitherway, should be fun.
Night x

Day 78 - Arc Ball
Right, I am in the mood to be quite descriptive no, so will try and remember everything about today.
Got up sometime during mid day and made it to squad training.
But whaddayano ? We have been double booked, (FOR ABOUT THE 4TH TIME)!
Turns out that sports hall 2 was needed, all of it (we only use half on Saturdays) for a huge Ju jitsu session. However we had been moved to sports hall 3.
Guess things are improving as last time we just got told a load of shit about how there was nothing they could do and we ended up using hall 3 anyway which was also "booked out".
The training session was a killer. We had 4 different stations and had to do a different thing at each. First was press ups for 30 seconds. Easy right ?
Not when you have to do them on your knuckles AND have to hold them half way for 2 seconds, down for 2 seconds, half way for 2 seconds, then up for 2 seconds.
Next wasn't so bad, had to lock legs with partner and sit with body at a 45 degree angle as to work on abs.
3rd was the worse. Had to sit facing opposite direction of bench and push yourself up and down. Tricep work outs. Not sure if my technique was bad or what, but it hurt so much that my arms ached for hours after.
Not to mention this was just the first set, we had to do all this again but hold everything for a minute afterwards!
Won't bother going into detail about the next set of exercises but they were real hard too.
Did some sparring with Joe. I got in a decent body shot but he managed to land about 2 face shots and a head shot, so he definitely won the spar. After 5 minutes we were both too tired to carry on. Also I found out from him that we actually double graded on Friday which is awesome (meaning that the patterns we learned was actually for yellow belt, not yellow tag).
4:30pm came and it was time to leave. The plan was to meet at Headingly taps for 6pm for drinks then head to Arc for 7pm for the TKD meal. There was no way I was getting there for 6pm though.
By the time I got back it was 5:10pm so realised there was little point in rushing. Had something to eat, got changed but kept meeting people I knew along the way which slowed me down. After about a 50 minute walk into Headingly I met two other beginner girls who were heading to the meal and had a cab and said I could go in it with them.
One of them said that she said hi to me in the street the other day and I ignored her :|
Oops.
Seeing as I am bad with faces I probably do this quite often.
I got in the cab with them which was pretty pointless as we were literally about 50 metres from the pub, though they had no clue where it was and had this taxi before hand so I only had to pay 5p.
By this time it was 6:45pm. Got into the taps and it was full of students dressed up in different costumes, from animals to robin hood.
Soon after we got to the arc and got our seats. Everyones food began to come but mine wasn't which I was finding weird, I had ordered the buffet (only me and one other guy did) as it was cheaper and looked nicer on the menu.
However, by buffet, I assumed it meant all you can eat.
I was wrong.
Turns out they just put the food on a big dish and you take what you want.
In all fairness, it was quite nice, but it didn't really fill me up all that much (not as much as £13 should anyway).
I got a text from Tom (one that lives at Clarence Dock) saying that the ball at Clarence Dock was pretty good and that I should come down.
It was 9:30pm and people had finished so I decided I might as well make a move, said bye to everyone and got a cab back which was £8:70.
Not bad considering I have been charged £7 just from the Uni back to Clarence Dock and the taps is A LOT further.
As this was also a formal event, I was already dressed for the occasion.
However, I didn't know a single person there.
This is why you should talk to as many people as possible during your first few weeks.
After about 30 minutes of standing about and talking to some people that were friends of friends although it being awkward, finally some of E block arrived!
Things began to liven up at this point.
First bit of banter, us texting Heff asking why he wasn't coming, assuming he was masturbating then barging into his unlocked room. He wasn't there, but for some reason his matress was up against the wall :S
Next was me and Harry complaining about every song that came on, saying we were unable to dance to it, that was until Superstition came on :)
Night turned out to be pretty good in the end.
Ended up talking to loads of different people.
One being a girl that does Taekwondo but rarely turns up. Was introduced to her by a friend, expecting her to say "we have already" met though I looked stupid as I stood there looking at her hoping for a reaction.
After I said to her "you don't recognise me"? and figured that there was no way this was the wrong person, eventually asked if she did actually do Taekwondo in which she remembered me instantely.
Jeez, first time that has ever happened. Whole reason Tom and I became friends is because he remembered my hair (and skin colour most likely).
Also I met a girl called Louise that I talked to WEEKS back in the laundrette. Were both in there waiting for washing to be done, two other guys came in and tried to get some crips from vending machine but it got stuck. In the end we spent about £4 or something between the 4 of us trying to get the crips out, as each time a new one came, the one in front for closer and closer.
After shaking the machine, 4 packets fell out.
Success!
Suprised I remembered her face tbh, and even more suprised when I talked to another girl who I asked "You were the one that kicked your shoe into the river"!? and was right.
And this was because I recongised her voice of all things, sounded French but don't know haha.
Kopperberg was only £2.50, bargain.
And the guy that started a fight with Ben and Harry was there too. To everyone's suprise despite his threats to Ben, when they met, they actually shook hands. He shook Harry's too, and mine, saying he remembered me from that night and is "scared" :S
Not too sure what he meant by that though.
Ball came to and end at 1am but people were up for an after party.
First up, E block.
Just talked about Scott and how it is weird he is the only one that got hurt as all night all of us were running across roads whilst being really drunk though in the newspaper it makes it out to be that it was due to the busy road he was crossing.
It was more our fault. Even Tim said he would have run into the road too to the next pub had it not been for his gammy leg.
Were also saying it is kinda ironic (and in some sense funny) how it happened, as had Scott not been so intent on finishing the enitre Otley run this may have never happened, as we skipped those two pubs but he went in with Tim.
Eitherway, his operations seem to be going well and the pressure in his brain has gone down so he is recovering :)
Got a call from Tom asking if the E block party was any good. Wasn't really, so went with him and a few others into an M block kitchen.
Was no music and no alcohol.
FAIL.
Next went to an A block kitchen.
Their entire flat was so weird though.
As in all over the walls they had pictures, posters, newspaper, magazine cut outs.
It was what a student flat SHOULD look like.
Were in there for about 30 minutes but everyone was getting tired.
Not sure who's idea it was, but in the corner there was an inflatable santa and we thought it'd be a good idea to take it. So using our cunning (we just picked it up and ran) managed to sneak it out the block and run and hide it in G block haha.
Ah fun.
Got back and went on facebook for a bit. Talked to Jen for a while about how Uni is going for and when she gets back (she has an exam the 18th so gets back 20th, sucks to be her haha).
Still though, only about a week left.
Really missing everyone.
4am, tomorrow is a Sunday meaning I have nothing to get up for and no real work to do (besides "revision").
Now though, it's time to watch the new episode of Naruto :)
Out ya'll.

Day 77 - The beginning and maybe the end..
Had chemistry tutorial, wasn't all that hard but I was still unable to do it that well.
Darrly and I went to canteen to get food and got the free student paper.
Front page article,
"Accident horror".
It was about Scott.
Turns out the road he got knocked over on is quite dangerous and numerous accidents have happened there due to the blind bend and location of pubs so close to the road.
There was a quote from someone in the paper saying,
"That road is so dangerous, it's a suprise the student didn't get killed".
Not a nice thing to say really.
Got back to Clarence Dock and had some food.
Laura knocked on my door a few minutes later as she too had seen the article. She said she went to visit Scott today. Nurses and doctors say that he is having another operation and they are gonna try and sit him up but he still hasn't woken up.
His parents are with him too.
Personally I don't want to visit him if he is in that state as that will be the image I have of him if or until he gets better.
When he wakes up I will defnitely go and see him.
Even so, his Mum said to Laura that she doesn't think he will ever come back to Uni :(
Nobody knows what is going to happen so this waiting game is getting annoying.
It's such a huge loss, for everyone.
It seems impossible for a full recovery to occur, but at the very least, I hope he retains his personality, that even if he has to remain in a wheelchair, he will still be the same Scott as before.
Basically just wasted some time until it was time to go into Uni and grade for Taekwondo. I'm getting really lazy now.
I planned to do at least an hour of revision each night for different topics. But now it all kinda seems a little pointless, that if I only need 40% to pass, and that these marks don't seem to count for all that much that it is not worth the effort to do loads and loads of revision from now.
I seem to learn more from doing coursework and assignments, so as long as I do those and know the basics I hope I am fine, even though I do feel bad that I am losing motivation to do anything.
Eventually 5pm came, Taekwondo time.
The grading wasn't bad at all. Infact, it was basically like a normal lesson, but marked.
When sparring came I went up against Matt, who I have never sparred with before. He is also a white belt. I thought he might be timid, man was I wrong.
He was fast AND strong.
At the end we were both really worn out and said that we were both fun people to spar with haha.
Met up with Daniel at the Library with some others and stayed there for a few drinks before heading off home.
As I got back Heather said that she got a voicemail from "Johnny" saying "brapp brapp brapp" and a text saying he really wants to get to know her haha.
Really though, who is this guy ?
Rest of the night I spent watching Heroes (Which was epic I must say) and wasting time with anything I could find.
A lot of other things happened today (tiny things such as it taking me 3 attempts to find an ATM machine that worked and Magda calling me useless for not being able to help her with her maths or having safety pins she could borrow despite her being equally as useless for not having them either haha) but I don't feel like including them.
Well, tomorrow is likely to be a long one.
Training, Taekwondo xmas meal, banter and drink, drunken banter, then either heading to fruity, Clarence Dock bar or hifi. Probably another messy night.
Hopefully I'd have cheered up a bit by then, hopefully....

Day 76 - Oceana storm
As I am writing this, I am pretty f**ked. But I need to incase I forget anything tomorrow, and unlike others, can still spell properly when drunk.
Right then, forced myself out of bed and it was freezing. I was having nightmares the night before for some reason :S
Noticed that when I lay on my back I tend t have weird dreams, had one that someone kept on coming into my room, I knew it was a dream, but just couldn't wake up, it wasn't nice. Guess this is how Adam must have felt every single night, damn.
Got to the kitchen, looked out the window, what did I see ?
SNOW!
YEAH!
Had breakfast real fast and went out to see the snow. I was first out of E block that morning as there were no other footprints so wrote my name in the snow and carried on to Uni.
However the walk there was horrible.
While the dock was covered in fresh snow, Leeds city centre was nothing but sleet.
My jeans and trainers soaked through like a bitch.
I should have worn my Geology boots tbh.
So, I got there a little early as I wanted to check my maths coursework grade. I had a good feeling about it this time round.
Checked it online.
87% - which was 26 out of 30.
NICE!
I am no longer a dumbass.
I also decided to check my e-mails, lucky I did, as I stumbled across one which ruined my morning,
"Roger is unable to make it to Leeds today due to snow, therefore the morning lecture is cancelled".
DAMN!
Got up for a 9am lecture for nothing.
Saw Neil who is the olfd guy that takes Geology and told him that the lecture was cancelled,
"FUCK"!
He shouted. Always funny to see old people swear.
To make matters worse, this e-mail was sent 10 minutes before the lecture began, meaning nobody would have been able to read it.
Out of curiosity, I went to the lecture, to find everyone sitting there, and had to explain to them how they had all got out of bed for nothing.
Tom, Darryl and I then went to a computer cluster and played some online games.
Talked to Magda for a while who said she is so tired she is considering dropping Uni just so she can get sleep as her work load if huge, 3 assessments and 2 c/w pieces in for next week. Ouch. She soon went offline as I think I was annoying her and preventing her from doing work.
Heather came online later and told me some random guy keeps phoning and texting her. She has no idea who he is or how he got her number. Therefore I was telling her what to reply to him when he text one liners such as "suck it".
Was quite funny.
Next up, maths.
Lecture wasn't too bad.
Finally found out the name of one of my "friends".
He is Australian and I sometimes sit and talk with him, but figured it'd look bad to ask his name in week 10.
It was David.
Was trigonometry today so not bad.
Although there was a question in which is stated how you would find the height of a tree on a sunny day.
Obvious, measure shadow, do some trig. Done.
However you had to measure your own shadow first and work out the increase.
Though you can't measure your own shadow, it'd change when you go to do it.
Lecturer said that you would get your friend to help, in which David said that at this point you would have no friends anyway haha.
Also he records all his lectures so he can refer back to them, good idea actually.
Had my maths examples class and finished the c/w after finding out my calculator is crap as it can't work out e properly.
£7 for a new one.
Also had to write out entire c/w again as mine was "scuffy" apparently and I'd lose marks.
Handed it and got home after getting some food from Morrisons.
As I was eating at the dock, got a text from Mia,
"Wes, have you been messing with my phone ? Hmmmmm".
Well, funny enough, I hadn't.
After a long explaination and some flase accusations, she told me what was wrong with it. It said "I love Nat" in her messages.
Obviously Laura wrote it so not sure why she suspected me as I never ever talk about Nat and her (Nat) and Laura are basically best friends. They are married according to facebook.
Anyway, did some work (I think) then took a nap.
Got woken up about 9pm by Mia as I had to pick a name for secret santa.
I got Lauren, no idea what I am getting her yet.
Then joined the girls in the kitchen in which they were saying how and when they stopped believing in santa haha. Was real funny.
Ben and Lewis came round saying they were going to the bar. I was up for pool so went with em. Met Tim and Will in the bar as they were watching the Aston Villa game and ended up getting 2 free games of pool as the guy there was fixing it.
I lost everytime but don't mind as I didn't pay a penny for any game haha.
It got late and Tim said he and Will were going to a Geography party. I had slept already and was up for going. Would have gone with John to the Charles Morris party but knew people would know I wasn't from there.
I went to my room and got changed.
Got a call from my brother asking how I was doing and a text from Heather saying mystery guy had phoned her again haha.
However, I was feeling rough at this point.
Really bad cold.
Went to the bar to tell Ben H I wasn't gonna go to the Geog party but saw Tom (another one) in the bar with some friends. They were going Oceana, £2 in, 80p drinks all night.
YES!
Phoned Ben saying I wanted to do that instead and he was alright.
Waited with Tom and Co at bus stop for a bus which never came so had to get a cab instead.
Got to Oceana and was £5 to get in but with 80p drinks is no problem.
Tom bought first round, 2 VK apples each.
Night went on like this with a new person for a round each time, so things got messy real quick.
Things I remember from the night:
Being in the toilet, some guy standing there with his cock and balls out saying I am lucky I am black as he is 2cm on the flop. His balls were huge but cock was tiny. I was in bits.
Dancing with some girl who said something to me but had no clue what it was. Asked if I wanted a drink and bought me one. Tasted like shit. Danced with me more then went out for a fag but think she wanted to get away from me.
Losing everyone then meeting some random people who I was with for most of the night, we tried to pull but failed everytime.
Dancing with some 5ft Asian guy and 4ft white guy.
The bouncers telling me to come with them. I thought they were gonna throw me out as they thought I was too drunk. Turns out that someone had been stabbed with a needle and I matched the description, whilst getting searched, there was a huge bang on the door, Laurence (a german guy who was with us) was closest so they pulled him in and began basically telling him that it was him who did it.
"Why did you boot the door"!
"Boot the door"?
"Don't chat shit, you booted the door"!
"I didn't, I don't know what you're talking about".
Went on like this for a while till the bouncer realised Laurence was calm enough to not let himself get thrown out. I got let off too. Met the guy outside who had been stabbed who was apologising to the max for what happened as he said he knew it wasn't me but since I matched the description he couldn't stop the bouncers.
I didn't mind, it made more drama for the night.
More stuff probably happened, but as I say, it was a very messy night.
The night ended and as I was walking out I noticed one of the guys I met and danced with earlier had a huge cut under his eye.
"Some prick" was his answer when I asked what happened.
Clubs can be very scary.
After Andy got a pizza and a pissed Tom took the notepad from behind the till and began writing down orders for other people who he didn't even know, we went back to Clarence Dock.
After much talk, I might be going Fruit on Saturday instead of Clarence Dock bar.
If these same 4 are going, then I will too, otherwise will stick with the bar.
Tickets are only £2 anyway so might as well get one tomorrow.
That's all from me folks.
Hope I don't have a hangover tomorrow as I gotta grade.
Till next time....
Right then, forced myself out of bed and it was freezing. I was having nightmares the night before for some reason :S
Noticed that when I lay on my back I tend t have weird dreams, had one that someone kept on coming into my room, I knew it was a dream, but just couldn't wake up, it wasn't nice. Guess this is how Adam must have felt every single night, damn.
Got to the kitchen, looked out the window, what did I see ?
SNOW!
YEAH!
Had breakfast real fast and went out to see the snow. I was first out of E block that morning as there were no other footprints so wrote my name in the snow and carried on to Uni.
However the walk there was horrible.
While the dock was covered in fresh snow, Leeds city centre was nothing but sleet.
My jeans and trainers soaked through like a bitch.
I should have worn my Geology boots tbh.
So, I got there a little early as I wanted to check my maths coursework grade. I had a good feeling about it this time round.
Checked it online.
87% - which was 26 out of 30.
NICE!
I am no longer a dumbass.
I also decided to check my e-mails, lucky I did, as I stumbled across one which ruined my morning,
"Roger is unable to make it to Leeds today due to snow, therefore the morning lecture is cancelled".
DAMN!
Got up for a 9am lecture for nothing.
Saw Neil who is the olfd guy that takes Geology and told him that the lecture was cancelled,
"FUCK"!
He shouted. Always funny to see old people swear.
To make matters worse, this e-mail was sent 10 minutes before the lecture began, meaning nobody would have been able to read it.
Out of curiosity, I went to the lecture, to find everyone sitting there, and had to explain to them how they had all got out of bed for nothing.
Tom, Darryl and I then went to a computer cluster and played some online games.
Talked to Magda for a while who said she is so tired she is considering dropping Uni just so she can get sleep as her work load if huge, 3 assessments and 2 c/w pieces in for next week. Ouch. She soon went offline as I think I was annoying her and preventing her from doing work.
Heather came online later and told me some random guy keeps phoning and texting her. She has no idea who he is or how he got her number. Therefore I was telling her what to reply to him when he text one liners such as "suck it".
Was quite funny.
Next up, maths.
Lecture wasn't too bad.
Finally found out the name of one of my "friends".
He is Australian and I sometimes sit and talk with him, but figured it'd look bad to ask his name in week 10.
It was David.
Was trigonometry today so not bad.
Although there was a question in which is stated how you would find the height of a tree on a sunny day.
Obvious, measure shadow, do some trig. Done.
However you had to measure your own shadow first and work out the increase.
Though you can't measure your own shadow, it'd change when you go to do it.
Lecturer said that you would get your friend to help, in which David said that at this point you would have no friends anyway haha.
Also he records all his lectures so he can refer back to them, good idea actually.
Had my maths examples class and finished the c/w after finding out my calculator is crap as it can't work out e properly.
£7 for a new one.
Also had to write out entire c/w again as mine was "scuffy" apparently and I'd lose marks.
Handed it and got home after getting some food from Morrisons.
As I was eating at the dock, got a text from Mia,
"Wes, have you been messing with my phone ? Hmmmmm".
Well, funny enough, I hadn't.
After a long explaination and some flase accusations, she told me what was wrong with it. It said "I love Nat" in her messages.
Obviously Laura wrote it so not sure why she suspected me as I never ever talk about Nat and her (Nat) and Laura are basically best friends. They are married according to facebook.
Anyway, did some work (I think) then took a nap.
Got woken up about 9pm by Mia as I had to pick a name for secret santa.
I got Lauren, no idea what I am getting her yet.
Then joined the girls in the kitchen in which they were saying how and when they stopped believing in santa haha. Was real funny.
Ben and Lewis came round saying they were going to the bar. I was up for pool so went with em. Met Tim and Will in the bar as they were watching the Aston Villa game and ended up getting 2 free games of pool as the guy there was fixing it.

Day 75 - 16 hours
Was a cold night. Have a terrible cold now and probably will for the rest of the week.
Anyway, still managed to get to Geophysics ontime. Should really have a shower one of these mornings, but it's so cold when I get up I really don't want to.
Lecture today was actually pretty funny.
He kept getting really pissed off with people coming in late and walking right infront of him. I don't get why people do that when there are about 12 doors to the side you can easily sneak in through haha.
Also he told us two stories about Geophysics.
One involved some people wanting him and his students to map a farm to find were metal poles and concrete were so a farmer wouldn't hit it when ploughing. Though it turned out that they actually knew where all this was but wanted someone to go and prove that the people who had laid it all down had done a really bad (illegal) job of it.
Another one involved reflections and how in a Darren Brown book all the Geophysics in there is bullshit (his exact words) as Brown stated how it was possible to see someone's face through relfection seismics which isn't possible as it can only sense disturbances, not actually show exact images of what it is relfecting off haha (oh wow, I really am learning something).
Had a free for the next hour in which I carried on with my coralDRAW.
Dynamic Earth next. Let's just say I realised why I began to not go to this lecture. Was so boring and this Asian guy wouldn't shut up. For some reason when he talks in lectures, he doesn't do it in a hushed voice, he talks normally, so EVERYONE can hear him. To the point it's off putting.
I would have liked to have a thrown a cup of shut the f**k up in his face tbh.
Chemistry next, it's getting tough now.
I would have gone home at this point but had a Green meeting at 3pm.
Did more coralDRAW.
Had the meeting and turns out some people have actually done quite a lot as reps. Such as writing to council for bins etc. Me personally, I have made some leaflets about recycling bins for kitchens and gonna post them around E, D and G block.
Hopefully people won't screw them up this time.
Also although I shouldn't laugh, the talk of the Green meeting was given by a woman who has that thing when you can't pronounce the letter "s" and instead it comes out as "kssh". Gotta hear it to understand but I thought it was kinda funny, though I shouldn't.
So, finished my coralDRAW in the time remaining then went to Taekwondo for 6pm. Last training session before grading. Without sounding cocky, I am not at all nervous. I know all the patterns inside out and this is for yellow tag. Basically anyone can pass. Just wanna get this over with and start working on higher belts tbh.
Found it amusing too how some of the beginners who were unsure of things, such as whether a block comes from above or below always came to me for the answer haha.
Sparring was good too. Either I got worse, or everyone is getting better. This time I sparred against Dominic, who is also a white belt. He was really good though. An offensive fighter who had me on the defense all the time.
He was fun to spar with.
We didn't go Library as they wouldn't have food at this time so went to the Old bar instead.
Suprise suprise, the kitchen was closed there too.
So instead went to the Terrace.
Ended up staying there till 11:20pm. In that time, saw a lot of hot girls, Jeremy explained how the grading is done in groups of 6, making me even less nervous that I won't be up there on my own. AND saw two wiggas play a game of pool.
One was white, other looked hispanic. Though I gotta give it to them, everytime they got a ball in and started breakdancing on the floor it did look pretty impressive.
Just find it funny that I actually saw someone like that who was wearing a huge T-shirt and low batty but was white hehe. And no, I'm not racist.
Walked back though was tempted to get a taxi as it was late, cold and VERY slippery. Leeds ambulances have been really busy the past few days with people slipping over and breaking things, Jeremy said there have been 5 crashes on his road in the past 2 days too.
Ice = Bad Times.
In all, I have been at Uni for 16 hours today, from when I left to when I got back. Long day.
Got back and went on facebook in which all of E block were chatting about houses next year. There was a meeting at the bar about it but only 3 people went. Basically, best time to look is Jan/Feb, but there seems to be A LOT of options atm on places to live. For me, somewhere closer to the Uni where we won't get robbed would be nice. But will have to wait and see.
Also spoke to Heather a bit as she is considering leaving as she really doesn't like her course. Can't have another one leave :(
And Magda asked if I took maths as my status had a logarithm in it due to a chain letter game I was playing on msn.
Had a chat with her for a while as she thinks all of us don't really like her as she is quite busy and shy, which isn't true. Also I found out she has about 16 - 18 hours of lectures a week as opposed to my 8 hours of lectures, 6 hours of practicals (which is now only 4) and another 2 of seminar and tutorial.
She is doing chemical engineering so does explain why she has so many hours.
Well, is 3am atm. Ben H said he will definitely be in tomorrow though I doubt it. I got about 4 hours sleep to have now and WILL have a shower when I get back in the day....maybe....probably....won't bother.
Hehe.

Day 74 - Cryogenic Sleep
So, only got about 2 hours sleep in the end. Not enough at all.
Today is my longest day too.
I let by 8am, but it was really really cold this morning, and really really icy.
From the dock to the town I had to halve my usual walking speed otherwise I would have slipped. Every guy walking along that part of the street looked like a queer, on their toes and walking with their arms out.
I even saw a girl jogging to Uni, in heels! The slip factor was beyond belief, although I didn't see her do it :(
Got to the cluster and managed to send my report to Rob after it had been converted to a word file. Thanks Sean :D
However, the rest of the lesson was VERY stressful. It took me about 90 minutes to simply upload a map onto coralDRAW.
Basically I had copied it instead of importing, meaning that it was pixelated when it appeared on coralDRAW, 2nd problem I found was that everytime I saved it, it would just cause the computer to freeze. In the end I had to import maps that had already been made as I was so far behind and nothing was working.
I hate this class.
Turns out the reason it wouldn't save was because I had too much on my M drive.
Oops. So deleted some files and managed to save it, luckily the task at hand is dead easy. Simply gotta draw on geological boundaries and features using coralDRAW.
Something I can actually do.
Got to the end of the lesson, decided to go to another cluster and waste some time. Did some more of my coralDRAW whilst I was there too. Got persuaded to vote against two motions the Union are having when this girl came up to me and explained it all out of the blue then had a meeting with Ivan.
Was our 2nd one of the semester. Was pretty good, basically he just asked how I was doing etc. Boring stuff.
Then asked how I was getting home,
"Oh, I'm taking the megabus"
"The mega what"?
"Megabus, can travel for as much as a £1"
"You're joking right, what is the website"
*Goes on megabus website*
"Jesus Christ! I can get to Oxford for £3"!
Good times.
Finally 3pm came and had my last practical. Was really easy again but was struggling to stay awake as the tiredness was kicking in really badly.
Eventually I got home and decided to have dinner straight away as I needed an early night. John came in shortly after looking very wet and cold.
Made my special tonight "Pasta, with everything in it".
Atm am trying to find as many things as I can that tastes nice with Adam's greek yoghurt. Pasta is one of them.
Mia came in shortly after and the 3 of us had a conversation. She also had a go at me saying that I am responsible for using up most of the washing up liquid because I put too much (it's about the size of a pea) on the sponge :S
Though considering we have been here 10 weeks, this is only our 2nd washing up liquid we have got onto, we haven't even began to use mine, hers or John's, AND that nothing else in the kitchen that is shared is even hers (Laura bought the toaster, Adam left his kitchen towels and I am the only person to buy kitchen roll), I don't see what the real problem is tbh.
Annoyed me a little more than it should have done though.
Anyway, John went to visit one of his friends in C block and I got back to my room and did some trigonometry.
It is now 20:17pm, and I am going to bed. That's how tired I am.
Bet it will be even colder tomorrow :(

Day 73 - Man Vs. Machine
Yet another day which was ruined by this thing that we call technology.
First up had a mineral lecture which was fine.
Main problem was my eyes were stinging due to the lack of sleep I got the night before and from watching Heroes till early in the morning.
Met Tom D who had got back from London (literally just got back) and still had his cases with him as his train was delayed.
His trip seemed quite funny actually. Said he and his friends went to an Indian resturant where complementary wine was served, although a girl there was not eating and Tom was only getting starters which caused the waiters to get really angry and start shouting at them.
When it came time to pay they wanted £4.50 service charge despite their service being terrible, everyone tried to run out without paying it but two got caught and had to haha.
Next up had a free and decided I would print off my report that I worked so hard on.
Only problem was I had microsoft works on my vista and that is different to microsoft word 2007/2003, therefore would not load up onto the computer from my laptop.
This was incredibly annoying.
I then tried to upload some maps I needed for a computer practical tomorrow morning as I was too lazy to do it last week. However I could not do this either as I didn't have the documents telling me what I had to do. This therefore means I'll have to get up about 30 minutes earlier just to go in so I can get that part done before the lesson.
Luckily, Rob, my chemistry teacher is also the person who takes my tutorials, so I explained the situation as to why I didn't have my report and he was fine with it.
The lecture was not too bad after that. Despite "the question guy" once again making a cameo appearance.
"Hello class. Sorry if I seem slow. I am half asleep at the moment as I am running on Canadian time at the moment"
"Oh, where did you go"!
"......Canada".
Moron.
Anyway, got to the tutorial and had to do rock descriptions for an hour. Once again, this wasn't too bad, by my eyes were stinging even more now.
I should have gone home, but needed stamps and an envelope to post a letter to my parents. It was about 1pm, the worse time to go to a post office.
I arrived and the queue was so long it was coming out of the post office.
This may take a while.
Luckily, by the door, they actually had a stamp machine, and it only cost me 36p.
So that saved me a good 45 minutes.
I then walked into Wilkinson to buy some envelopes and posted the letter back at the post office.
Success!
I needed the toilet before I went home and was taking a short cut to go to the Union, when who do I bump into ? Tom Richards.
Walked with him and one of his maths mates, Ryan to the Eldon and got ourselves a pint.
Tom and I were going to take advantage of the 2 meals for £7 deal when we noticed that a burger cost £3.45 anyway which means using the deal we'd actually be spending more money, therefore got things that were more expensive.
Meanwhile, Ryan was on the slot and quiz machines. He brought about £50 worth of money out for some reason when he was on them and probably lost all of it. Although on the deal or no deal quiz he DID manage to win £10 (which he then put back into the slot machine and lost).
Ended up leaving about 5pm, got home and went straight to sleep.
Got woken up about 8:30pm by John knocking on the door as he still has one of the Lord of the rings discs. Since I was up, we decided to have a game of pool. Yes, I lost, but I am improving. We then needed to withdraw some money. The ATM at tesco was out of service (again) so we had to walk into town to find one.
After eating dinner and talking for a while it got to about midnight and John went to bed while I noticed an e-mail from Rob saying that the document of m report I sent him did not open and that he needed it in word 2003.
Cock it!
Once again, I tried to use the website ultimatesteal.com in which you can get microsoft 07 for just £40, yet for some reason, it just doesn't work for me anymore.
Everytime I click "buy now" it says my shopping cart is empty :S
Very annoying as this is probably one of the best deals I will ever get in my life.
However, I managed to find a site in which you can download microsoft 07 for a 60 day trial.
After a lot of annoyance and messing about, I ended up downloading 3 programs which I would never even need to use.
Wasted about 4 hours of my night basically though in the back of my mind I knew that this would all be for nothing...
First up had a mineral lecture which was fine.
Main problem was my eyes were stinging due to the lack of sleep I got the night before and from watching Heroes till early in the morning.
Met Tom D who had got back from London (literally just got back) and still had his cases with him as his train was delayed.
His trip seemed quite funny actually. Said he and his friends went to an Indian resturant where complementary wine was served, although a girl there was not eating and Tom was only getting starters which caused the waiters to get really angry and start shouting at them.
When it came time to pay they wanted £4.50 service charge despite their service being terrible, everyone tried to run out without paying it but two got caught and had to haha.
Next up had a free and decided I would print off my report that I worked so hard on.
Only problem was I had microsoft works on my vista and that is different to microsoft word 2007/2003, therefore would not load up onto the computer from my laptop.
This was incredibly annoying.
I then tried to upload some maps I needed for a computer practical tomorrow morning as I was too lazy to do it last week. However I could not do this either as I didn't have the documents telling me what I had to do. This therefore means I'll have to get up about 30 minutes earlier just to go in so I can get that part done before the lesson.
Luckily, Rob, my chemistry teacher is also the person who takes my tutorials, so I explained the situation as to why I didn't have my report and he was fine with it.
The lecture was not too bad after that. Despite "the question guy" once again making a cameo appearance.
"Hello class. Sorry if I seem slow. I am half asleep at the moment as I am running on Canadian time at the moment"
"Oh, where did you go"!
"......Canada".
Moron.
Anyway, got to the tutorial and had to do rock descriptions for an hour. Once again, this wasn't too bad, by my eyes were stinging even more now.
I should have gone home, but needed stamps and an envelope to post a letter to my parents. It was about 1pm, the worse time to go to a post office.
I arrived and the queue was so long it was coming out of the post office.
This may take a while.
Luckily, by the door, they actually had a stamp machine, and it only cost me 36p.
So that saved me a good 45 minutes.
I then walked into Wilkinson to buy some envelopes and posted the letter back at the post office.
Success!
I needed the toilet before I went home and was taking a short cut to go to the Union, when who do I bump into ? Tom Richards.
Walked with him and one of his maths mates, Ryan to the Eldon and got ourselves a pint.
