life of a student

Today started at 4.30am some idiot set of the fire alarm again so after spending 20 mins outside in my pj's and dressing gown i was wide awake and more than a little bit cold. so just getting back to sleep the stupid thing goes of again at 6.05 arrhhhh this is getting annoying now :( so after a few mins outside we all start heading in when lo and behold of it goes (up to three times now) so everybody moaning we trapse back up the stairs into our respective rooms say goosnight AGAIN and go back to bed then just for good measure to make sure were all wide awake and getting no more sleep today 9.30!!!!! jeeeez its my day off i want to sleep till 10 it did the stupid thing where it stops and starts again. so all in all tonight the fire alarm has gone of 5 yes 5 times we were not happy.




So i gave up trying to go back to sleep got up read my e-mails made a bacon and egg sarnie for breakfast just waiting to be chucked outside again in the cold. Fortunatly this hasnt happened (yet). So then feeling a little bit annoyed i decide to work my anger out tidying my room. Half way thru i go to the library to give a friend a hand finding some books get back to go to wash my bed sheets and towels etc only to descover that none of the washing macines are accepting coins. its only been working 3 weeks and it already is broken joy. So giving up hope of washing for another fortnight i go to hoover my floor only to discover the non sucking hoover has gone the cleaner has mooved hers and we have a sweeping brush!!!! no hoover no laundry and no sleep joy of joys.




But on the pluss side ive had a good rant with Katie got a nice tidy room and sorted out all the sources for my essay. AND had a look a the posters they are awesome!!!! i cant decide which one i like the best!! how many do i get to choose?? Ive got one and a half christmas prezzies knitted now :) i was wondering if you could post me a bag of stuffing for a toy ive made for Aaron (and enough for a couple more as i will do some for other people aswell if possible) i was thinking maybe that old lumpy pillow would work if i cut the corner off it and loosened the lumps before stuffing?? Ive figured out why you need 5 needles it makes dividing the stitches up so much easier and have got one arm warmer done :) i did a little tester patch first in one of the other colours just to see if i could do it and it looks pretty god for a first try :) if possible could you see if they do a red and a purple (not together) ball in that kwik knit as its really good an makes an awesome pattern up the arm warmer. The photo is so brilliantly modled by Katie :o)
Love you muchly xxx

Here's one of the posters.

Another piccy. This time it's Jack 2. Jake said he wanted one so I spent two weeks knitting him one and he's hardly looked at it. Jealously, I presume. It's not the same as yours - quite. Play spot the difference.

Jack -the return


This is the picture I created to make my xmas cards from. What do you think?

Oooh look what i found

Hmmm after some searching around the site I seem to have figured out how to post a well, post.

Today was quite bad i got up at 11.30 after being up till od knows when in the morning reading Twilight aloud to Hannah. It was fun but totally not woth missing half the day for.

I have plans to venture into the deep dark Library to see if i can find the Flixbrough book and a journal article but hey who knows what else i will find....



























Photos that I can't seem to arrange. Jake drinks wine! Alice gets down and dirty at Hatcliffe.
Jake is a wild card - he got a B in a music test yesterday.

Jake decided he was not going to work last night - again. He was also supposed to go to the dentist - I did, but he didn't get off the bus! He is a living example of games turning a brain to mush. He's fallen from 'the world's your oyster' to perhaps he needs to go to a specialist college if he is going to achieve any further. He behaves like a robot - kind of stands in the corner until you give him an order and only then will he do something. Be warned! It's his unwavering dedication to electronic game that really have turned his brain to mush.

The lead singer of the fabulous African group Batanai had his foot bandaged up when he came to lead a workshop last week at college. The evening concert was cool too but it is so difficult to catch the essence of music in a photograph. I think this one expresses some of the joy both musician and listener experienced at the Vale.
Here we go - my first entry but what do I write? Shall I rabbit on about archaeology or photography or knitting?

What's most important to me at the moment is that my long standing penfriend, Mary, died suddenly of cancer last week (25th September) after her sister Sandra has just recovered from her brush with cancer. At least she didn't suffer long.
