Cupcakes!

So it has been a while since I wrote a blog on this thing. Whoops!! So it seems I haven't written since Halloween....what has happened since then...hmmm...well I have had 2 visitors and been home once so far! Haven't been off galavanting though as money is tight but have sorted that problem now too!
So to start with the week after Halloween. Here that week is Bonfire week or Diwali if you are Indian. This means that there are fireworks going off, everywhere!! Every night there were fireworks being set off all over the place. Was crazy but fun! To top this off then I got a visitor on the Friday! My Mum came along to see me which was fun! She nearly missed her 8am flight though thinking it was at 8pm. I would have been really, really sad. There turned out to be a bomb threat as well when she came in (prob knew someone from Ireland was on the train lol ). So we did the touristy things and walked all over the place. Went to the V& A on Exhibition Road which was really nice! So didn't think it would be as nice at all! We also went for cocktails at my favourite B@1 in Soho which was yummy!! We then decided that we could venture through the rain and headed to Clapham Common along with a gazzzillllion other people! We got a good spot though and got to see fantastic fireworks for Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night.

This is one of the videos we took! We then went for a stroll down Oxford Street to look at the Christmas lights! After that eventful day we took it easy the next day and just chilled for a bit heading to Acton town and then to a weaving shop for some felt. It was a short visit but was loads of fun!! Met up with Sean then I think the next day for more B@1 with his friend Andrew. We then proceeded to stalk him on his date in China town which was too funny for words! It was kinda a Jamie moment and I have found someone to do crazy things with me!! :)
The next week was the same old I suppose :p trying to pretend to study while not letting it get to me that I am doing nothing! That week ended with a trip out with some Irish friends, Ciara Meaghar and Mary Macnamara from home! Me and Sean headed to O'Neills in China Town after leaving a sick Nastasia off at Oxford Street. Me and Sean decided we weren't drunk enough and so started on the sneaky shots....not good!! Night bus on your own, not good either and totally not going into the details of that as it was noooot good! I got home about 5am I think and proceeded to have the best sleep of my life! :) Hungover wasn't what I was the next morning but near death. Had to go for more cocktails then at B@1 with my housemates which was fun but was defo worse for wear!! Got home in time then for xfactor which is really important!!
Then next week was busy enough with my job interview from the week before going so well that I was called in for training. I passed this as well so now I have money!! Well once I get some work I'll have money. Another visitor came my way last week. An old friends little sister but she did come with a litre bottle of tropical absolute vodka so she can come back ANY time!! We were busy in the lab too which I have proof of.....

That's me with my lab group, Charlotte beside me and Holly with the huge grin next to her. Think we are prepping some DNA samples or something for a gel. Not too sure really. The labs are fun enough. Not too demanding yet but we are doing things that are good. Digested our DNA today to have sticky ends and stuck it with our plasmids so hopefully something will come of that! May need to read up on it! Using different things to last year. So yeah wasn't too bad a week. Think I'm on the right week.... It ended with waking up at 4:30am to get the first tube 5:36am to get my 8am flight. .Things went really smoothly and I got onto the plane pretty quickly and was surprised by Aisling and Mum at the other side! Didn't see Ash as I was heading towards Roisin but still got a BIG hug! She had slept over the night before just so she could come visit. Got to visit Stella too who was all talk and jumping in excitement at her sister being back! I was so tired on Sat though that I wasn't much fun but did get to watch the Irish game and Beowolf. This weekend I hung out with my Dad, next is Roisin's birthday party weekend so it's down in Bulgaden I'll be. On the Sunday I did get to head to Cork so that was great craic! Flipping cold though but great to walk along Pana again. Waking up at 4am the next morning not fun but back in London for 9am and came home for a nap before my afternoon classes.
This week is pretty busy again too I think. Was supposed to work today but didn't get back to them in time. Oh well. Next time. But have a quiz now on Thursday which will hopefully get loads of my class together! Then off home for Roisin's birthday party. It's her birthday today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROISIN!! She finally caught up to me! ;) Think that's enough rambling for one night. Should really start studying!! Or else it will be cram month in Jan! ttfn
