May: So one of my housemates (Kate) was still on holidays in south east Asia and didn't return until the 15th May. We had another party the first week of May for Rosie's birthday. We had a nice day lunch with her Uni friends and home friends which was really nice. Nice little spot in Notting Hill area http://www.thehillgate.com/ was quite for a Saturday and off the track so you had no tourists coming in and taking all the seats. The food was good too and the staff were really friendly! We then had a party that night with a couple of my friends which didn't end so well as we discovered that when QPR win a match that all the pubs in Sheppy B close at 12. So we got there at 11:30 with people being kicked out already! That wasn't fun!
The week after was quite with lab, lab, lab and some work on the side. Worked an amazing private house party for a hedge fund head hunter who had a house in Hampstead and Geneva. Wow! I need to find a man like this, moola!
The week after was a little more exciting with me and Kate going to Clapham for speed dating! Yes I know we're too young blah blah but hey it was loads of fun! There were 12 guys and girls which meant 12 4 minute dates! There were some really nice guys and some not so nice but the girls were great craic too! We ended up staying until closing and playing in the pond in Clapham. I did however wake up with a pounding headache and a cut on my foot. Dr Wai-mun told me I was best to get a tetanus so Aine got her 1st (I think) tetanus, not in the bum thank god! So that was a pretty wreckless night and I was hungover beyond belief. You wouldn't think after that that we'd go to Redbacks.....we did. http://www.redbacktavern.com/ this is our new haunt. Can get a bus right there, cheap booze, great live music. What more could you ask for! I would have preferred a night in but sure was good fun! Oh and PS during that week I gave blood for a friends Science project. Wasn't that fun but got paid, whoop whoop!
The next week (yes I know I said it'd be short) anyway Friday was Paola's birthday party! We headed down to the southbank to the udderbelly http://www.underbelly.co.uk/webpages/southbank/index.php which was lovely! There were loads of larger then life games which we all kicked ass in! Of course the best part of the week came next with my Mum visiting! And as usual there is a funny story with Mum. First she had the flight off by an hour, phew fixed, next what no answer from her phone the morning of! No text to say she got to the airport/London? Oh that's okay she left her phone in Limerick. Got her safe though, just wandered to the station hoping she'd be there and she was hoping I'd find her! So off we set for a nice long bank holiday of fun! The highlight was Kew Gardens. What a beautiful place! We got amazing sunshine and just sat on the grass for a long time watching the planes fly in to Heathrow. Was nice just hanging out in London with Mum!
My next week was my free London week! Tuesday Mum left in the wee hours and me and Rosie headed to Lewis Schaffer of Picadilly Circus http://www.lewisschaffer.co.uk/Lewis_Schaffer/home.html for free! Now he asks for donations at the end but you can give whatever you want. He is a different humour but something fun to do! However don't do the same mistake me and Rosie did which was get food from the upstairs cafe. Wasn't great and a bit expensive. It did seem a bit dodgy actually. Ah well! So on the Thursday then me and Rosie rambled off to The Barbican to watch the London Symphony Orchestra! Wowser, that was amazing and again was free! We saw some amazing pieces by an amazing pianist Mitsuko Uchida. http://lso.co.uk/page/144/UBS-Soundscapes-Beethoven/108 Rosie's first Orchestra experience and she loved it too!
So now we're into June!
Neeext was home for Audrey's wedding! That was so much fun except it did rain a lot. I got to meet Steve, Shane, Kerry, Louise, the Bruff boys and got to hang out with Roisin a lot which was really nice! The wedding itself was nice but the Henley's did kick ass on the floor! Had such a nice relaxing trip home. Which was nice before the presentation I had to tackle when I got back! On the Saturday I got back I did my first ever timed run, 5km. Was tough but I think I was just overwhelmed about the whole idea. Got it done in less then 30mins so that was great!The next week meant hitting the powerpoint and getting my presentation down. It went well anyway. It really helped to get my head around my project. Though the big disaster of the week involved Aine closing her laptop on her USB cap, SMASH! Screen was buggered. Though now I have a fantastic new laptop which was well overdue! On the Sunday after the presentations, Rosie, Jacob, Molly and I headed to the BBC studios in Hammersmith to watch the screening of The Apprentice; You're Fired with Dara O'Briain. It was really good and great to watch the episode with a crowd! Great atmosphere but doubt we got on the telly!
That brings us to this week! Week 1 of training! Lab, lab, lab again and on Friday went to a new pilot show screening in Wood Lane BBC. Wasn't that great and we were there for 5 hours before we left coz it was getting ridiculous, the amount of retakes. Hopefully it will get on air coz we were fo shizzle on the camera! We'll see and I'll keep you posted on it! So that's you up to date on what has happened in the last 2 months. Boring I know but sure, not much really happening other then lab and then a couple things on the side! Over and out for now!
