First stop Christmas. As you prob know there were terrible problems here with the 1cm of snow that London got the Saturday before I left (18th) but thankfully it only left me delayed by 3 hours. And yeaaah it wasn't that small an amount. More like 6 feet but still if Stansted could get going to next day why couldn't the other airports?! Sean couldn't get home by plane at all aerlingus kept cancelling everything so it was the ferry for him with about 2000 people on the same boat! Woweee but maaan got to Ireland, after we skidded on the runway, and the cold. It hit you! Minus 12 during the what the hell?! Cork was sooo icy but I managed to get the bus down and go out with Lel the first night! Laura came out too and obvs Caitlin was there lol. Preachers hadn't changed much except for the creepy men at the bar trying to hook us up with his friends! Me and Lel continued the party back in Farranlea with grumpy old man Shane getting very annoyed but we rocked those Disney songs! Lel had to go back home the next day but she was really nice and let me crash at her place for the night. Oh aaand I got my hot deli food nom nomsss...oh how I missed you! The next night was our Bar 51 Genetics party which was great craic! Ended up in the Crane Lane with Shane nearly falling asleep he had so much clothing on! Gen2010 then walked home via UCC where we made snow angels on the quad coz Niall never got to walk across on Grad day! That was fun until we couldn't find a way out and had to hop the wall. Not cool when the security guard was just watching us wander around the place. Had to head back up to Limerick then on the bus again where I froze my ass off waiting for my Mum in C'ville but she made me several roast chicken dinners so we'll have to forgive her!
Christmas was fun and we spent most of the holidays playing mario kart which is an epic game! I was very upset without Freddie for the holidays but he has a new home now and Ashy is going to look after him until I get back from London (my car if any one is lost!). So nothing much else happened over the Christmas holiday. Spent a lot of time in front of the fire!
Had a wedding in the middle of the holidays, my cousin from Cork, Ken HenleyWillis (dunno how they like to spell that) to a girl from Dublin. Was a great night and through 6 degrees of seperation I now know Simon Cowell and all those :p Mary Byrne was friends with the brides Mum or something so....I now know famous people!
Headed back to London the 29th in time for New Years but of course there was a 4 hour delay from Shannon but at least I found the fantastic wifi so that kept me happy! Met Sean for Cocktails the next day so was delighted, I do heart B@1 a lot! New Years was fun! Caitlin, Erin, Sean and I met under Big Ben at 7:30pm to make sure we had good seats and then waited for midnight! We were well stocked with food and drink but the girls found it a little cold so they went to a friends house party up in Angel. Me and Sean rang in the New Year under Big Ben which was amazing with the fireworks! There was a great atmosphere with random people coming up and wishing you a happy new year and taking photos. Was good fun!
London countdown with Big Ben in the background!
So getting home was a nightmare from that but wont' even begin to start! Went to London Zoo with a friend a couple days after. Was really nice but it's a difficult place to get too and it was bloody freezing!! But was good fun.
Back to the grind of things now though. Had an assignment due on Friday (yest) so we went out afterwards. Loving our new old man student pub hidden in the basement of the main building on campus. A couple of us then headed to some private party in Fulham which was an experience! There was a lot of money in this place! People weren't buying vodka drinks but bottles of vodka and bottles of champagne! Was fun to see it all but couldn't afford to stay there all night! Need to do something today now! Get out and attack the day! Not much news but I will keep updated on this again...ta ta for now!
