Life in general

Mood: Amused
Song: The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name

I haven't blogged for so long, I hadn't noticed that Blogger Dashboard had been revamped!

Life in the new flat is good. We still haven't got an Internet connection in our flat although now we're not so sure we want to install a phone line anymore. I mean, we have free wifi downstairs, and dealing with BT is such a pain...that, and having to pay every month to have a phone we'll never use since both of us have mobiles...I don't know, we'll see.

In the meantime, we've finally completed our unpacking and all of our furniture has arrived, and has been assembled. Now the flat's looking more and more like home, although I wish we were allowed to put things up on the walls (the tenancy contract states that we cannot do anything that will cause structural damage to the flat).

So what have I been doing recently, apart from craving roasted parsnips (I know, food-wise, I'm so out of touch with the seasons!) and flat-sorting? Well, job-hunting for one - I got into contact with Reed last week to apply for a permanent teaching assistant job, with temporary work to tide me over till the school year begins. It's a pain job-hunting without a regular, reliable Internet connection, perhaps we might get that phone line after all!

Sam and I have a gym induction session this Tuesday, after which we'll be allowed to use our apartment's gym for free...can't wait for that! Gone are the days when I had to pay an annual fee of £80 if I wanted to use Warwick's gym! (I didn't pay) I'm trying to persuade Veron into being my gym buddy :D we discovered the other day that there is a bus that runs from right outside my apartment to right outside her house, so I'm quite pleased about that.

Anyway, I told Sam about an hour ago that I'd only be downstairs using the wifi for half an hour, so I think I'll leave it here with a good night!

New flat!

Mood: Calm
Song: ...

Apologies for my lack of posting in a while...last time I blogged, I was back in Malaysia and having a great time. Now I'm back in the UK and having a great time, in my new flat!

Well I say my new flat, I mean our new flat hahaha we haven't got Internet access at the moment though, hence my lack of blogging. Well, not really, my lack of Internet has contributed to my lack of posting but also we've had masses of unpacking and sorting out to do! But but but! We're going to go and sort out our Internet today so hopefully, more words from me coming soon!

Graduated!

Mood: Happy
Song: ...

I've graduated! That was yesterday - I'd put photos right this second but I can't as I have no Internet in Mei's house and I can't seem to connect to the Wifi on campus! It's been annoying, to say the least!

Anyway, graduation was loads of fun! Mum and I made our way to Coventry on Monday morning and stayed overnight in Arthur Vick (nice place but not worth £100+ per week). We met up with Sam and had dinner in Wing Wah (for the last time!) and then went to bed. The next day, it was an early morning up to get ready. The ceremony was at 11am so after dressing, we headed straight down to the Arts Centre to register, pick up my robes, etc. We took a couple of photos then headed into the Butterworth Hall to sit down.

The ceremony didn't take too long. The musical accompaniments left a lot to be desired, but the speeches were on the whole pretty good and pretty concise (and in English!). After the ceremony, we went around campus taking loads of photos, went to have lunch in the Noodle Bar (for the last time!) and then took the bus/train back to Norwich.

I know that's a pretty short account but there's not much to elaborate on! It was a good day, I had fun and yeahhh...that's about it! Oh it was so hot on the day, I might as well have graduated in KL! Anyway, so there won't be blog updates coming from me for the next couple of weeks but I'll be updating my Twitter bar hopefully pretty regularly so you check that out :) hope you're all having a nice summer!
