It's Going To Be A Long Year...

Amy

I was actually looking forward to today's lectures. I was starting my Astrophysics module today and you know how much I like stars and everything to do with them....Yeah, well to be honest I was quite disappointed with the two hours of "astrophysics" I had in the lecture theatres...
I don't want to sound racist so I'll be brief. My lecturer is foreign. Now I don't mind a foreign lecturer (I think my maths one is German or something) but if I can't understand nine out of ten words she says then I don't see why I should be being taught one of my favourite subjects by her.... I'm not being racist and my class mates agree, I can not learn new, complicated space stuff from someone who puts "ah" on the end of every word and literally changes vowels around in their words (for example "ahquosian" for "equation")...
This year is going to be a long one....

Sorry for having a rant, just wanted to get it off my chest. In other news, MORE FRISBEE TOMORROW, and Thursday and the weekend where I get to see you (and maybe whoop Sussex in the process...kidding, fat chance right? Plus it's indoors...)

Anyway, see you soon.

Love

I Feel Broken...

Dear Amy

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, still busy getting into routine and stuff but I'll try write more often when it's all settled...

Don't worry too much about the title of this post, I'll get to that but in the mean time I'm fine....sort of. So my parents popped over this weekend and took me out for lunch, it was so good to have a proper meaty meal for once, and having a hot chocolate fudge brownie just polished me off for the day....but you know me, I got hungry a couple hours after of course...
Otherwise it was a quiet weekend, one flatmate went to London for a few days for his birthday, and the rest of us avoided spending a lot of money for one. I know, amazing right? We just "borrowed" kitchens and cooked "our food" because why not...?

Then Monday evening came...I went to my first session of Parkour (Free-running) and the drills at the start and end of the 2 hour session just destroyed me. After three days of Ultimate Frisbee, more running wasn't really on my to-do list...but it was still a laugh. I learned to vault and kind of roll...and almost, almost did a back flip...soon.

Anyway enough pain, I am now to proud owner of a Kent University Ultimate Frisbee Kit! I feel so pro...

They only had the number 46 in my size left which is slightly annoying, I wanted a more fancy number but hey...I am actually wearing the shorts as I type, they're surprisingly comfy.

Speaking of Frisbee, I think there is an Indoor tournament coming up for Freshers on the 20th called SICKO, it's based in Sussex so I may see you there? (Just be warned the KO stands for Kent Owns obviously...)

I'm going to go attempt cook dinner in my pathetic microwave...oh first world problems...

Love

Stripes

Evening Amy,

Early start today, and not because of lectures.... We have to have a fire alarm test every Wednesday at 8.45am for the next year, fantastic. But otherwise it was a good day consisting of one lecture (I knew everything the lecturer was saying so I kinda fell asleep...oops) and Frisbee.

The taster session for Ultimate Frisbee was a laugh, I got to practice with the President of the Team and learn some new stuff before a small, indoor sized proper game, in which I scored a very fancy goal, don't mean to brag....I'm joking, I just caught the Frisbee....
The evening also started early, but meeting some team members was kinda inspiring and "Earning My Stripes" was good. Basically, to earn a Stripe, you had to challenge a current member of the team to either down a pint, or some other game. The famous game was the "Three Pint Challenge" where you fill a flipped over Frisbee with three pints and drink it all through a straw. After seeing the first guy attempt it and nearly throw everything back up, I decided to stay away from that particular game...

Oh and when I got back, the fire alarm went off...yes, two alarms in one day. Some drunkard must have tripped the alarm but I felt really bad for the friend in my corridor who was showering at the time of the alarm. She had to walk outside in the cold with wet hair and a towel the poor thing. Eventually we were allowed back inside after considering walking over to our friends in another accommodation building.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing you this weekend, hope your train ride is alright.

Love

Jimbo

P.S. As a corridor, we have fallen into the habbit of buying cheap, almost out of date bread, so please don't expect any of my fancy cooking when you're over...being a student is so...luxurious isn't a word I'd use...

Night,
