Discovering Memes

Dear Jimbo,

A pretty irrelevant post here, but I just discovered a University of Sussex Memes Page on Facebook. They are so relevant and funny I have to share them seeings as I have nothing to report other than: Spoke Italian, did some Philosophical thinking and went to the gym....

For some reason although our lectures are timetabled for an hour, we always end up leaving at ten to...

The Co-Op on campus is notorious for raising its prices by about 50p per item and at least £2 per alcoholic beverage in comparison to every other Co Op, everywhere. Its so expensive it makes me want to cry.

The above is me, everyday. We have a bike lane running through out campus and I always walk in it to avoid  the throngs of students who walk.... So...... Slowly.... And.... Seem..... To...... Have..... All..... The..... Time..... In.... The..... World.....

So I went on the Ski Social, regardless of the fact I'm not a member of Sussex Snow. I'm now the proud owner of a Sussex Snow T shirt, two Sussex Snow condoms and three Sussex Snow stickers. I've also been invited to the Big Band social tomorrow night. Whether I go or not depends on how guilty I feel at gate crashing another social I don't actually belong too....

I hope you enjoyed this short, sweet post.

Missing you,

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

Jimbo

Pictures and Postcards

Dear Jimbo,

Since I left Kent after our visit on Sunday a multitude of things have happened. I had a nightmare journey, received my first assessment, had Steph round to stay and watched The Perks Of Being a Wallflower.

Perhaps I should back up a bit, so I left yours and got the train to Ashford, where, I was told 'all trains to Brighton cancelled.' From Ashford I had to wait an hour to get a replacement coach to Hastings, all would have been well, however the replacement bus service BROKE DOWN. Yes, really. The electrics had failed, trapping 30 annoyed and tired people in one bus. Chaos, just about, covers it. Regardless, I remained composed. 15ish minutes later we were back on the road, in a very jerking 'I'm about to explode' manner. This new mode of forward jerking transport rendered me retching into an empty plastic bag. Dignity? Where are you?! 

To top off this start to the week, I received my first assessment. Excuse me whilst I rock in the corner. Its in for Monday and I have to say copious amounts of reading and library visits aren't getting me as far into the essay as I would have liked. Stress levels: DANGER.

To ease the stress, Steph came to visit. It was a fabulous two days (ish) and we went clubbing and danced the night away, saw The Perks of Being A Wallflower and went to a student lock in. More on that here. 

Back to the big news: THE PERKS. As we both know, I'm in love with the book and have been for years. I was waiting for the film to come out since I heard about it pre-production (fan girl alert!) and let me tell you, it wasn't disappointing. As Steph pointed out- I cried throughout the last half of the film, continually (that is at least 50 minutes of crying, noisily, wetly) in fact, I cried so much I couldn't even eat my Peanut M&Ms! Shock horror. Basically you need to see it. Preferably with me, because I need to see it again.

To end this post, I thought I would let you know you have a Brighton postcard winging its way to Kent!

I love you always,

Amy x
