Week Nine

Dear Harri,

Thanks for your birthday blog :), I totally don't feel nineteen! In fact I had to fill in this form for something (oh yeah, it was a survey for when I went to see Harry Potter) and I ticked the 15-17 age bracket by mistake!

So Wednesday for some stupid reason I went in to the lectures in the morning and sat there feeling crap for the whole morning while most other people skipped it! The person who's birthday it was the day before didn't make it in the whole day :O! I stayed in to practice our presentation, and then went home around fiveish (which is late for a wednesday). It was already dark and as everyone had already gone home I ended up staggering home on my own and created all these horrible scenarios in my head. Such a woss!

Thursday was gp day, which is getting more into routine now. We got to do reflexes where you hit each other's knee. Just watching the guys crossing their legs was really funny, I don't know why and don't think they did either :p. I managed to resist buying anything at sainsburies :), apart from skittles. Then I came home cooked for my flat and then went out and had more lasagne at a different flat as someone was cooking for their birthday. We played articulate after, which as we know is a very fun game ;). We have to have another really good new years this year btw :). However my team did end up being half the board behind everyone :S, we blamed the long day.

Friday, well there was something different about that day .. :). I had a presentation in the morning and anatomy till 6 but once I got home then my birthday really got going. They made me go and play wii with chris, then come back for dinner and then go back to flat 37 for them to give me a card, and all this time I didn't catch on! When I came back they had decorated the lounge with balloons and confetti, and made some really tasty punch! We played pass the parcel, with a really interesting present inside, and had those candles that didn't go out! And managed to spill about 5 drinks and break a glass over the night ! It was a really nice night with everyone and we ended by watching harry potter 6 before falling asleep.

Saturday, woke up pretty late, Kav had slept over so found her on my floor haha. Went over to Katie's later on and watched Harry potter 1, then had takeaway with her and Kav before meeting up with everyone else to go see Harry Potter 7. It was sooo good, best Harry Potter so far! And I had to hide behind my jumper at points. We came back and I did my laundry which was in desperate need because I was running out of pants.

Sunday my parent's came up and we went for a meal and caught up. It was really strange seeing them up here! They brought me up so much food.. and mainly chocolate which completely ruined my healthy diet I had going.

The last two days have been back to the long slog which is so disheartening. I stayed in from 10 till 9.30 yesterday because I had basic life support after lectures. Then today was in 10 till 8 because I had an anatomy revision which admittedly was really useful, as I feel slightly more confident on one aspect of my course now! I did get free curry today though from the Sikh society.

Hope you are well!

See you soonish

Week Seven and Eight

Dear Harri,

Sorry I missed last week, you're right once you miss you're chance it just doesn't happen! But I'll try and remember what happened! So Thursday two weeks ago, was an IP day, I was researching basically anything and everything as we were the last people to get a question and was basically anything people could think of. So I spent most my time looking at how much doctor's get paid haha. (I didn't think of that question alright :P) ! We had lunch in the medcafe and it's really bad but I've got in the habit of buying this millionare shortbread things.. but that aren't actually and are just chemical substitutes ! Thursday was Vale Fireworks and Georgie was saying with Louisa, so we all went to see her and then went back to Kav's for catch ups! Then we literally ran back to the beeches, quickly got changed and headed to oceana. I actually managed to make it to the end of the night and then walked back to the beeches .. a good twenty minutes, especially when we walked all the way to a chippy that wasn't open!

Friday I came home in my four hour break and ended up sleeping it all,, going back in for anatomy was not fun! And from once I was home from friday evening study club began! Which was basically working non-stop for my test on Monday.. So not much to share there :P.

Monday morning was alrigght, after the test we hit the bullring although I only bought a skirt , the same one as two of the other people with me bought , so we are matching! Then came back and watched the apprentice with cake. Then it was oceana , but this time it was pretty dead and I came home pretty early.

Tuesday was the introduction to my SSC (student selected component) and basically free weeeekkk :). Alex came that afternoon and basically just relaxed that evening and all of wednesday and thursday. Ridiculously late lie-ins , watched part of ray the film, ate so much, went to tescos and then onto the bullring literally the only time we went out ! On friday was presentation day but went fine pretty well and then went out to gatecrashers :). Was quite quiet compared to normal! but had some different songs, and my fob stopped working so had to climb over the gates to my halls tipsy to get back in. Saturday again, just made some disgusting cake, the mistake was putting jelly babies in, but we ate it anyway and also watched zombieland at flat 37 which was pretty good. Sunday Alex left so felt really weird my room being so quiet but got some work done. Monday and Tuesday have gone well , it was Abi a girl from my m groups birthday tonight , so just got back in from a gay bar DV8 . However it was straight tuesdays don't worry!!

And so thats my weeks

Hope you are good.

I love you and 48 days now till you're back :)

Week Six

Dear Harri,

It seems crazy to think we are now more than half way through this term! I have started calling this place home and then always take it back and secretly think I can't betray Chalfont! But I don't miss being at home that much just the people I think. Crazy how different lives everyone has right now!

Thursday was my second day at the GP and we went a different way which was so much better and didnt involve forking out for a massive taxi ride. These really are my favourite days, and so much more interesting than lectures. We did a presentation Richard and Judy style and ours had some terrible terrible jokes which we went through with , it was so cringe! And attacking people by sticking my finger in their arm to feel their pulse over the last weeks had paid off, as taking blood pressure didn't feel so hard in the end. I did my week shop at lunch or so I thought .. I have been back to the shops since quite a few times. I just eat so much here, absolutely no hope for losing weight!

Friday was an amazing day, 11 til 3, so good! In the evening I went to Medbar with some medics from the Beeches. It was karaoke night , and some songs were absolutely hilarious. Saturday was work day, with a trip to tesco in the middle. Then went round to Katie's flat and played circle of death , and they enjoyed making be the one to drink at every 'drink on you' which just sent me really sleep tbh! Sunday I wasn't planning on going out and just went round to someone from my course's flat for a halloween party but ended up hitting gatecrasher, we managed to get in for free as well as some lovely man gave us tickets :). I was harry potter but there were some absolutely amazing costumes! I ended up having to pull up some unconscious drunk girls knickers in the loo because the bouncer couldn't go near as a man or something , so that was a bit of drama haha!

Monday was such an effort an amazing long day and I literally wrote about 5 sentences on the last lecture. Tuesday wasn't as bad , then went back to Kav's and got some really good work in before netball. On the way back I stopped in at Hafsah's flat and ended up sleeping over, then having to run over to my flat at nine this morning!

Today's been good, it was the birthday of Sarah a medic at the beeches. Though I felt so guilty because it completely passed my mind in the morning but we went over to her's for dinner just now. Had the most amazing fajitas and then brownies and ice cream. I apologise about how much of these letters are about food!

Hope you're well

Lot's of love

We need to meet across a room soon!
