October 17 A few new thingsPINKATHON, JAKS, WELSH AND CAKES
So this week saw the revival of my social life!! Lets not assume by that, that i don't have one its just its been a little stagnant lately! With the girls gone and dissertation in full swing the weekly trips into town be it Orange House and Flares or something else have become few and far between. The furthest I have ventured in many weeks has been the Rhyddings. According to the facebook group it is the centre of the universe but for a while at least i will have to disagree with them. Sam, Alun, Richard, Stephen and I all headed down to RAG's pinkathon held in Divas on monday night. Sam and I spent considerable time, switching tops, bags and so on until we had the perfect pink outfits which met with the approval of Mr Warr who became the king of all things pink that night. He decided that because he had gone to all the effort of buying a pink t shirt we (as girls) had to be more pink then he was! I think Alun developed a liking for pink (he wore if for his first day in the office today). It wasn't what I was expecting, there was a band which kept Richard happy and a few funny dance routines from Tom Stubbs, Sheryl and others. It was funny to watch!! Mark suggested we all go to Jaks, so around 10.30 Alun. Stephen, Sam and I all piled in a taxi and headed to jaks, armed with VIP bands from ENTS. They didn't pull their weight however, they didn't give us a discount on entry, or free drinks in fact they were pretty worthless! We did get a matching red band curtesy of Jaks which meant if we wanted to go down to SinCity we wouldn't have to pay again which is always good! It was nice to have a few drinks and a dance again, haven't done it in such a long time!! May have to repeat it on a much more regular basis.
I don't know how I managed to ignore RAG for so long, its been a huige society on campus far long then I have been at university so how did i not join it five years ago! I went from being Charities officer at HRSFC to having nothing to do with charities at University? That doesn't make sense to me at all. I suppose being such a big society it was quite daunting in the first year. I didn't join anything I don't think and then by the time you get into second and third year the routine is set! My time in the third and masters year was taken up with all things welsh and of course the BHF. I spent sunday afternoon/evening making pink fairy cakes for the Breast Cancer Awareness day cake sale. As far as I know we raised £160 which includes the money raised from all the hundreds of cakes we sold!! Its nice to have something to do that helps out other people and doesn't involve another language.
Speaking of another lanugae i've been learning welsh for a couple of weeks now. Alun says im doing good, but he's somewhat biased in his praise of me! I think im finding it easier then others in the class bbut at the same time there are others finding it easier than me and want us to be progressing faster then we are. I don't think the majority of the class agree with these few individuals!!! I have learnt a few phrases, beth ych enw chi (what is your name?) and I can say Danielle dw i in response. I think we have progressed far enough for 3 weeks if you ask me!!
Oh well best get back on with my dissertation! Wish me luck!
