What is this fun Emma is talking about you ask? Well … since I last blogged, Me, Steve, Chris and a few others managed to make it to Mount Neom for a very cold few climbs, we stopped of at MEC on the way and witnessed a car chase … so far everything’s normal.
We managed to organize secret Santa on our floor and everyone has had an interesting time getting to the mall in amidst the bus strike. We had secret Santa the other night … it was like Christmas morning. Alisha got me loads of stuff to make a scrap book with and a Christmas hat and loads of other stuff =]
Went to see Shauna in the ‘Rejoice’ concert in the cathedral down town, me and Lizzie walked and took a few pics on the way. Got a ride back with Karim and Abtin and the others where we discovered how funny it was that I called the trunk the boot!!
I certainly have the nickname as ‘Manchester’ in deli, me and Shauna had dinner in the café with a few people who got a lot of fun out of asking me to pronounce words … it was funny!! I can’t go anywhere without people yelling ‘Hey … Manchester’!! It’s so funny; we all have a great laugh. Spent the other Sunday night when I should have been at karaoke, in the formal lounge as deli was having a talent show … a few hours of watching and listening to some amazing people with amazing musical abilities went along way into relaxing everyone for the up coming exams!!! On the other hand … playing ‘GotYA!!’ seems to get everyone a bit too worked up at times. ‘GotYA’ is a game where most people in residence (soooo about 100 people in my building) all get a picture of someone to ‘get’ we get given a sock to catch people with and the aim is to hunt down that person … people actually camped outside people’s rooms and followed people to class … scary stuff!!
I’ve been spending a few last times with all the international students who are leaving at the end of this semester at the Spoke, and I’ve reeeeally developed a liking for root beer!!
Finals have started as of today, instead of spenging all my time in the Dendro lab underground … I’m in Taylor library mostly now … unless me and Brittany are having an ‘OC night!’ Me and Brittany went downtown to Jim Bob’s last Friday, we met Emily and Emily and their boyfriends there and met loads of other people and got a lot of guys to buy us drinks … me and Brittany are a good team! Anyhow, I left my purple cardigan there that night which I’m gutted about, and Emily’s boyfriend has my camera which I want to take pictures of the snow!!! Yes SNOWWW!! And just campus in general as it’s all Christmassy!! Even Einstein’s café in Taylor library is all decorated and the coffee tastes better I’m sure!
Yeah … it’s snowed a few times and one night, the night of my weather and climate final it was soooo snowy and icy and blummin' fffreezing!!! That was an interesting exam, I and Keith were totally panicking outside the room and then Brennan and Jess arrived and were like …..’Yerrr its going to be fin’ … fun times. Not much more to say, as for the last few weeks everyone has just been studying. I’m sure ill have many interesting things to write about after Christmas!! Whoop!!
The last few days have been fairly quite with people finishing exams and escaping back home. Although I think Morgan left because I threatened to beat him up if he didn’t recycle … ‘I DO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND KKKKARRRATEEEE!!!’ much to Andrew’s amusement.
Had a bit of a blow and I’m hoping for a bit of a Christmas miracle as, as I write this, mum, dad and Vicky are in a hotel in Bristol trying to get a flight to Toronto as there origional flight got canceled … grrr. So I went for a wonder around campus and had a moan about being left in rez with TMZ who has an exam tomorrow. I hope they get here …
