Second year had absolutely flown by, just like first year did. It's been full of ups and downs, lots of essays, probably too much partying and tons of laughs. With the end of exams looming I decided that this was appropriate procrastination, so here it is... I'll post part 2 after my last exam, if I'm not too busy partying!
September
I didn't ever get round to posting a blog post on the disaster that was our house's delayed reconstruction but it was in a pretty dire state the day we were due to move in... Yep, that's our kitchen, and it has no roof (top left)! Cue having to move in with my friend Becca for several days (bottom right) before our temporary house was free for us to move into. Still, we had a good time (top right). Our temporary house wasn't the greatest of arrangements with Jenny & I having to share a double bed (bottom left).
October
Jenny & I remained on speaking terms despite having to share, not only a room, but a bed for what felt like a lifetime to both of us ;] (top left), and as soon as we were in our new house she cooked up a cracking roast for us all (ok, so we did help..), as a moving in celebration (top right). My mum sent me a cute fleece to match 'olaf' from frozen, and to keep me warm when we refused to put the heating on... #studentproblems (bottom left). The fleece didn't work that well, because it wasn't long before I got a cold. Jenny kindly volunteered to drive me to sainsburys to get cough medicine, but we may have accidentally rear-ended someone on the way there (it was terrifying, but not really anyone's fault). The police drove us home! (bottom right).
November
At the beginning of November my friend Becca and I popped along to our local blood donation centre to donate blood, me for the second time and her for the first! (top left). My housemates and I, threw a halloween house party which was buckets full of fun and a really good way to christen our new house (top right, bottom left). Vale fireworks are a definite event for the calendar if you live in Birmingham, we popped along and enjoyed the cold, rain, and a beautiful firework display (bottom right).
December
End of term means lots of nights out and lots of fun. My end of term was no different. It ranged from three way spoons in bed (top left), to getting married at fab to a complete stranger (top right). Plus, lots of trips to all of the vodbull events, just can't get enough (bottom left & bottom right).
Christmas & New Year
There's nothing quite like going home for Christmas. Spending time catching up with family and friends is always well needed after a long term at uni, and good home-cooked food is always welcome in a student's diet. I slugged with my sister (top left), had good grub with school friends (top right), and ate my weight in roast potatoes on Christmas Day (bottom left). Then, when I was missing uni the most, I had a wonderful catch up with my bestest for New Years (bottom right).
