Tuesday day trip to London to visit my Kiwi friend Layla, visiting Covent Gardens, Tate Britain, Tate modern,  and seeing Les Miserables at the theatre!

Wednesday chill day, plus lecture.

Thursday something called uni.

Friday volleyball!

Saturday (today) archery! Which was amazing!

Tomorrow, off to Clapham for an away game of La crosse! Keeeennn!

Then next Friday I'm hitting up Venice for the weekend!

So a very logical and plain explanation of my week. Also worth mentioning I'm am trying to figure out what to do for christmas and have absolutely no idea what so ever.....

I would love to go up to Scotland and stay in a little cabin in the woods, near the lakes. that would be  idylic. But who knows where I shall end up? Hopefully not in a ditch.

La crosse?

So I absolutely love La Crosse, get ready to be absolutely bombarded with war stories about sports in next four months!

 I'm up for anything, boxing, netball, basketball, swing dancing, however I do draw the line at polercise. Not going to happen in a million years, that is something the world never ever ever needs to see. I have two of the best scabs on my knees from basketball, so intensely good that I couldn't bend my knee for two days, thoroughly worth the pain as i was allowed to look at these superb german basketball players to make matters better, they were twins! Keen much.

So I haven't told you much about my flatmates, there is a lot of us in kitchen 42, yes, you read right. Not flat 42 kitchen 42... this is why the abbreviation WTF was invented.

But back to the roomies, i have couple awesome, couple ave, and two just plain wack jobs.

 Nick, Mick, Laura and Dan are amazing! Absolutely love them to bits, they're all quite younger 18, except Nick he's 21, he's the gramps of the flat. We have this Malayasian girl, Novell, who I have seen exactly twice in the last two weeks. She's a mirage. Then theres our nocturnal, stove top mess maker who I only see at night- no idea what his name is.... Plus you add in a French guys who thinks the world is against him,  a dwarf who's clearly never accepted the fact that he's short and tries to make up for it be extensively working out, so it now looks like he has another pair of legs coming out his shoulders and a sweet as Nigerian chick then you've got yourself flat 42.

Well tonight I am off to the Orchestra, it should be fabulous! Love you and leave you!

Sports!

These past few weeks have been fantastic, filled with social activities, new roommates, new clothes, kitchen equipment, baking scrumptious cakes, and being absurdly happy.

I have made a great group of friends, ironically 3 of them are from Australia and one is from the U.S.A. I started La crosse, and boxing along with back into my running scheme! There are the most wonderful running paths in this small town. I can run along the riverbank, amongst gorgeous trees, it is fantastic!

 My classes so far are balanced, I have two dud units, which will be a complete bore However on the other hand I am doing two very interesting units; exploring ethics in business and Organisational psychology (O.P).

This afternoon I had my first O.P lecture, it was the best lecture I have ever been in. It began with small chit chat, and one of the first activities we did was making paper aeroplanes, then being ordered to through them at out lecturers head. Then at the end informing us that is we are to ask questions in class we must write the question on a piece of paper, fold it into an aeroplane, then throw it at him.

Wel now I'm off, no classses tomorrow, but need to purchase some boots for la crosse on Sunday!

Hard life.
