garden parties

I've watched all my friends graduate today and it's been very weird but wonderful. I found out YESTERDAY that I'd been accepted onto a Management course for next year so I'll be graduating in a year's time. I've found myself busier since exams finished if that's possible..but have a moment now to do some uploading and twiddling of pictures on my last night in my beautiful college room. I'm going to miss this room so much. (Pic of my name etched into the cupboard to come soon). These are a few vids/pics from the Girton garden party which was a couple Sundays ago which proved to be a hoot. Lauren and Marie were pretty hilarious at the sumo wrestling and Charlie was pretty awesome at the cricket match out back in the afternoon. Back to Manny tomorrow, so excited for some home grub!

sangria diaries 1

Sorry haven't updated this in a while - mind has been distracted by finals and dissertation deadline and MAY BALLS. Finished my exams on 31st May and took off to Barcelona with the girls for 5 days - it was amazing. I engorged myself on tapas and churros and managed to wangle a bit of Spanish practice. We fitted in most of the Gaudi sites and spent the rest of the time reaching new heights with Sangria.

Churros

More pictures to come. But it was a great week and the highlight was the Sagrada Familia. This little one was found outside the Sagrada enjoying the muhassive bubbles..CAYOOT.

edinburgh (big post)

I finally have something interesting to post about! Andy and I went up to Edinburgh for a couple days at the end of term. I was far too full of germs to see family but it was good to see the city as a tourist for once. So we hung out round Princes Street Gardens...

...did the museums...

...ate at a SOCIAL BUSINESS, I was so happy...

...escaped the winds for many pints...

...did the Grassmarket...

...did the Scotch Whisky Experience and saw the world's largest private collection of Scotch Whisky, over 10,000 bottles collected over 4 decades by Claive Vidiz...

...also had a drink in their bar, it was rude not to (discovered 'my' whisky - a Dalmore 12yo)...

...did the Camera Obscura...

...and did the Castle. Walking up to it and looking without queueing to go in, naturally. We spent our last night at the Stand comedy club and had a bit of a hungover train journey yesterday.

Home now. It's good to be warm and have a fridge full of food to hand. Wishing my other not-in-the-real-world-yet student friends a good Easter hol.
