So I went to mountaineering social on the 11th which was.... eventful. :3
I hung out with Pierce and Adam on the 16th of Feb which was pretty rad. We didn't actually do any karaoke but the evening was cool just the same. I got to ride in the boot of a car!!! :P Though they forgot to remind me to get milk. Traitors.... :P
Keele peeps missed me off the roster (again >_>) which got me really down but what can you do....?
Sophie came over on the Wednesday til the Saturday. We filmed a short film of her own design (inbetween my lectures). Basically it was a really chill couple of days with films and shows and music and yeah. Pretty cool. Went out to the cinema and watched Kingsmen on the Friday for her birthday and then out for a meal together before heading to the social briefly :)
Challenge Shield happened on the 21st, which was pretty fucking awesome. Got to play Quidditch all day and on top of that I made some pretty epic new friends. Three of the Derby players and a couple Quidlings came back to mine after the games and we drank and played Cards Against Humanity and drank some more before heading to the social and playing Never Have I Ever for the whole evening. It was great. JJ is such a tease though :P
Started placement. Its pretty epic and apart from Antony being super annoying a lot of the time it's really enjoyable. I'm loving hydro and I've had a couple of new patients of my own now. Slowly building up my own case load. :) I'm learning a shitton of new stuff, and it's really forcing me to brush up on the basics which is sort of a blessing in disguise because obviously I have to know that info eventually.
On the 27th I headed over to Loughborough to visit Adam and Jack. :) I had't seen them in like a year (apart from Adam briefly at Challenge shield when we played chubby bunny). But yeah so it was really cool to see them again :) We decided to go out on the Friday night so we all went to Holly K's for prinks where we played Jenga and Ring of Fire and I got quite tipsy on vodka. Walked to the SU with Rich and Adam who got me in without queuing because he knew the doorman. The SU is fucking huge and has like 4 separate rooms and 5 bars and just it was epic. More drinks were ordered throughout the night. Cant even remember how much I drank or who bought me what or anything but it was awesome.
At one point Dan B was a bit of a dick to me (which actually carried over to the next day) and also brought up Tom but I didn't really let it bother me and enjoyed myself regardless. Lost people eventually so Rich and I just danced and chatted etc til like 4 when people started being escorted out. At this point we found Adam and after dragging him away from 3 different groups of people we got him out. He wanted food and expressed the type he wanted by acting like a chicken. He tried to tackle cars and took us down this creepy rapey alley (and called me when I was like 2 meters behind him) but apart from that it was fairly standard "drunk friend" duty :P Rich and I put him into bed with his head in a bucket and settled down for the night on the sofa. Which wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. A little cramped but warm :)
Spend Saturday sleeping off the hangover and watching Hercules in Adams bed. Went to Quidditch practice and it was one of the best practices I've been to. Like Keele could learn so much from Lboro if they really cared enough to try to improve. But yeah, saw Emily again and we had a chat when we could.Adam and I headed back at the end of practice and though Rich invited us to a cheese and wine evening we declined and had a movie night with takeaway pizza :) Guardians of the Galaxy is a brilliant movie! We all slept early that night. :P
Left at around 11 Sunday morning to get to Keele's practice which really sucked because Rich asked me out to coffee and I had to decline :/ On the bright side I was talking to Greco the whole journey back about his night out and his run ins with Tom and it was hilarious and brilliant and cheered me up. Needless to say he wasn't at practice. :3 Practice was average and wet and cold and it was called off fairly early.
Now I'm back in Shrewsbury and on placement again and this week has started well :) Got feedback today and apparently my CE's are really happy with me so that's a plus I suppose. Rich has been sending me little messages every morning and evening which is sweet, and always makes my day.
Here's to hoping the rest of the week is just as good :)
Over and out,
Gloves. xx
