Getting Worse?

To continue on what I did yesterday evening, I did indeed have my pizza. A £1 meat feast pizza from ASDA and man-alive was it good! The problem was, I also cooked some chips and corn to go with it, which proved far too much for even my stomach to handle. My stomach looks small but I can fit a lot in there! Which you'd know if you went to Thorpe Parks' pizza hut with me... Anyway, as I was eating Ellie came in to make herself some pasta, we had a chat about how our days had been. I complained about depressing lectures and arsehole lecturers and she understood what I meant. She then, after dinner, suddenly realised she had to have a passport style photo for tomorrow mornings lesson. We didn't know where a photo booth was but we thought Sainsburys might have one and it would still be open. She also told me I had a card in reception, she would have brought it up for me but you can only take your own post! I said to her that I'd go with her to get her photos as I needed to get some bread anyway, we could also save some time by buying some cleaning products because we'd got our cleaning roters that day. I've got the toilet and shower to do this week so not *too* bad. We all have to swap every week anyway but it's a little unfair because there's only three of us we have a lot more the clean than everyone else! Other flats just have ONE item to clean each! It sucks but we've all planned to do our cleaning the day before they come and check that you've done it. If you haven't done it the cleaners do it and they charge you a MINIMUM of £18! £11 administration fee my arse!

So yes we popped off to reception together, I got my post, it was a card from my aunt and uncle wishing me good luck in my studies. No money inside though. Boo! Still, it was very sweet of them! I told my sister to tell my mum to thank them for me! Ellie found out there was a photo booth at the Spaced bar so we walked to the Uni to find it. We couldn't get inside the bar though, they hadn't opened to the public yet so the woman wouldn't even let us use the booth quickly! They had a hypnotist coming tonight you see, if it was Derren Brown, and yes, I'm aware he's not a hypnotist, I would have been more interested but hey, I needed a night off! The lady said that the bar would open in 40 minutes and then we could come back and use it. We said okay and walked down to the shops to get the cleaning stuff and my bread.

We came across a Costcutter, looked inside and they had a photo booth! Result! So I let Ellie get on with it whilst trying to avoid catching the eyes of the very scary shopkeepers. Eventually she was all done and we went to Lidl to pick up what we needed. Ellie had some cleaning stuff already so she said we could use that first before buying anymore. We got a couple of cleaning products and I picked up some English Muffins (I'm planning to make some of Alexs' mini pizzas) and some bread for 50p each. Winrar. As we were queuing, I saw a poster advertising various deals Lidl had going on. Hobgoblin beer, one of Alexs' favourites I believe, was £1! I thought, next time I have money, I'm so shocking up of beer! Proper beer. None of that Fosters shit everyone else is drinking! Eww. We'd got what we needed so we headed back to our halls. I needed a shower but I'd left my laptop on, I went to check it and found Alex and Iain talking to me. I spoke briefly with both before saying I needed to have a shower and went.

The shower is still terrible. They replaced the shower head so at least we have more water pressure but the water still changes from boiling hot (you actually feel as if you're going to get 3rd degree burns, it's that hot, you can hardly touch it) to cold. I don't think that part of the shower is ever going to be fixed so we'll have to live with it. I'm going to love my shower at home when I go back for Crimbo! I got changed into my pyjamas and spoke to Alex and Iain again. Iain was playing Bomberman with Matt but it was failing miserably. Bad times. Alex had to go out to get the electric so he rang me as he did so. He told me my blog was getting worse! Writing wise I mean, spelling, grammar, etc. I felt really bad! I want to write a decent, legible blog. I want my writing to be good quality and I want people to enjoy reading it. So today I have gone a little slower with it to make sure I am writing properly and not rushing it. At least he's being honest though, I like to know if I'm fucking something up so I can improve it!

So anyway, we had a little chat then I decided to watch Dark City which he had lent me. I got the disk out and man was it scratched! I was surprised that it would even play. It was fine at first, then it stuttered a bit but it seemed to get over it. Then later on it completely froze. I knew it wasn't going to work at all. I did think it might be my laptop but I had nothing else running in the background that I knew of. I gave up on Dark City, which was a shame because it was really good to start off with! And instead I watched an episode of Firefly. Firefly is the sci-fi TV series from which Serenity (the film) was born from. I like Serenity so I thought this might be good. It only had one series then was cancelled which is a shame because it is actually really good. The first episode was more like two episodes in one because it was parts 1 and 2 glued together. I watched it then decided to head to bed as I had a 9am lecture in the morning.

I went to bed at around midnight but again, everyone was being so loud outside and I wasn't really feeling that tired. I found it so hard to sleep. It took me about an hour so I am knackered now. Hopefully I will waken up for the comedy show tonight! Should be a laugh, Matt is going too so I will try and go with him.
