"Go on hit me!"

So to start with the title of this blog entry as it definitely needs some explaining! Was walking home from Uni yesterday on the phone to Sean and some two kids infront of me ran onto the road and yelled "go on hit me!" to an on coming van. Just to clear things up though as you all know I'm really bad at explaining things. This on coming van was about 2 minutes away just turning on to the road so they weren't being that brave and they ran off the road as quickly as they ran on to it so there was no danger but just to show you guys how cool my area is! Sean was well impressed :)

    So now that that useless piece of information has been shared to get onto more useless information for all you bored people! Last week as you know was Week 1 of Uni for me and this finished with a Postgrad Mingle at the Union on Saturday night. We got about half the class out which was fun! Beer and vodka was only £2 each!! Going back there some time soon!! Here are some photos of us. Never put photos up before so hope they aren't too big or anything! Oh we had a Radio 1 DJ playing for this too. He was a proper DJ mixing and stuff but he was totally useless!! But the night was good other then that!

This is us in the Courtyard (I think Scientific labeling has got the better of me btw) . From left to right is Petros, Clair, Paloa, Nastasia, Patricia, Wai-Mun, Charlotte, Brash, Sasha and me.

Another class photo at the disco part with the same people but also Carlos and Jo on the left.










     My Suunday was nice and lazy with just a visit into Canada Water to see Erin and have a chat. My week then started Monday and was nice and intense! We were on 10-4 every day except Wed (they have Wednesday's free for sports). They were revision lectures but good to do. Genetics, Immunology, Virology and Applications and methodology. We only had one crazy lady who asked questions and insisted on telling us about her 2 weddings, how she hates her first husband and pees red after eating beetroot! Thanks Dr. A Blakemore! It did get tiring towards the end of the week as they talked through topics so quickly that you couldn't take it in and it was hard to keep interested for so long. Oh oh oh!!! Wait for it!!  They start EVERY lecture on time here! As in if it starts at 10am it starts at 10am not 10:01 or even shock horror, 10:05am! But the worst part is that they don't even finish on time either. They have a scheduled 1 hour slot but all of them went over :( Okay Aine's moan is over. They kept cutting my lunch short and I love my food especially my tuna sandwich (right Andrea, Karolina and Deirdre)!  Today finished with a gym session with my crazy German friend, Charlotte, who has lots of stamina and energy. I was nearly dying but she will be a good motivator I'm sure!!
    Tuesday evening had us all (my class) meet at Oxford Street to have a few drinks and dinner at On Anon. That was fun as I've never had drinks on Oxford Street! Great class party place! We may try the local Wishing Well at East Acton though next time so we can stumble into the lectures after lunch instead!
  Heading up to Nottingham this weekend to see the lovely Daz and Karolina. Cannot wait!! We may have Dids along too depending on her homework. This weekend will bring back crazy stories I'm sure!! I hope! I have also booked my Bristol tickets to see Kate for her birthday! Whoop whoop!! Lesley is arriving next week on Thurs so that's pretty exciting!! I'm flying home on the 20th November for Roisin's birthday and the 19th December for Christmas. Can't wait to get home and see everyone and not have to listen to these crazy English!! :) They aren't too bad but I like me Irish!
   So think that's enough rambling for one blog. If any one ever wants to come to London I have a huge double bed and room with plenty of floor space so you're more then welcome! Ta ta for now!!
