The start of a longgggg easter

The start of a long boring easter began today with a trip to John Lennon Airport to drop my girlfriend Amy off, she was going home to Ireland for easter.

I am absolutely devastated to see her go. Wish I could of gone with her for the whole holiday.

Two whole weeks without her are going to be longgggg and boring.
I should hopefully be taking a trip over to Ireland for her cousins 21st birthday after two weeks, which will be great and I actually can't wait!

We got a taxi to the airport which seemed to be the fastest half hour of my life. Its funny how the time seems to pass slower when you are bored and want it to hurry up. Much like the next two following weeks which will crawl!

It had been snowing for the past two days and so we checked her flight wasn't delayed, which sadly, it wasn't so I walked her to the departures gate. This was it, the moment I had been dreading for days, I had to let her go back to the land of leprechauns and Guinness.

I hopped on a bus outside the airport that drove into Liverpool and went to McDonalds for a burger to cheer me up. I had never taken advantage of the student deal in McDonalds of a free cheeseburger or McFlurry with any meal so decided to take up the opportunity.

I sat down with my deluxe quarter pounder with bacon meal and free cheese burger and peeled my monopoly stickers from my chips, burger and drink... WOO! free apple pie and fruit bag.

My friend Matt who I live with, and lived with last year, called and met me in McDonalds, we went for a pint and chilled out in town most of the day.

I got home later on and was surprised by an easter egg in my cupboard! Amy had managed to sneak in before we left. Kit Kat Peanut Butter. My favourite chocolate bar ever. What a babe.


Tasty Kit Kat egg with peanut butter white chocolate and milk Kit Kat Chunkys!

Until I head over to Ireland I have to crack on with university work for my upcoming exams.

My Astrophysics module is a pain but hopefully shouldn't be too bad to learn with a little work into telescope optics and imaging.

The second maths module of the year is a killer with one of the most boring, monotone and quiet lecturers I've had in my life making it impossible to concentrate and learn from them..

My module on waves is another one needing work with having missed a few lectures which is terrible.. Its important I do well in waves as the head of first year physics is the lecturer for it. He decides if you fail an exam whether or not you get to resit and retry for the module.

Failing a module also means you could fail the year and may need to resit.
Due to being a year behind by doing a foundation year already I can not afford to resit. The extra money needed would also be a killer due to probably pushing debts up by £6000.. Not something I want looming over me.

So with that work load, its going to be a busy time. Two lab reports to do by tomorrow, one on the attenuation of gamma rays and the other based of the moments of inertia of different shaped objects.

I also have a check up at the dentist coming up Monday, helping my mum and step dad clear a house on Tuesday and my sisters birthday being Wednesday too.

Somehow need to fit going to the gym into the week too as I haven't been in a long time and need to sort myself out!

Hopefully this first week will go relatively quickly with keeping busy and travelling backwards and forwards between my mums, dads and my flat in Liverpool.

Just going to have to concentrate on going to Ireland to get me through the work and weeks!

What a year. part 1.

This is the first post i've put up in a long long time.
Me on the left taken in Malia with the lads in June. a crazy, crazy holiday that was 1000 times more mental than Sunny Beach Bulgaria last year!

Since the last post so many things have happened theres nowhere near enough room in a single post.

I went from digital to retro and took most of my blogging from public to private in the form of Moleskine journals, something I seem to manage to keep up rather than just attempting to poke at like this online blogging.. even though I spend most of my awake time in front of a computer screen! 

The second term of University was insane. Only followed by a crazy few weeks with my friends from home at easter and then that followed by my final term in my first year of University!

I am now £500 overdrawn in the bank, but in return had the best time of my life with enough memories to fill a library. The end of first year means saying goodbye to Carnatic Halls in Liverpool. The place i've grown to call my home over the year. With this means saying goodbye to everyone I have lived with too for a while.

C corridor 2011/2012 Carnatic Halls. I love you guys so much.
Student fest Liverpool. Such an insane night out in town.
Partying with some halls friends.
Student organised casino. The same night one of my close friends became a father to a little girl Ellie.
The night The Magnet had 80p drinks, 80p... we were slaughtered.
St Patricks Day looking like fools. That was just an extremely brief summary of the 2nd term at Uni, words cant even describe how amazing its been. Coming home and being with friends for easter and hearing all their experiences and having more crazy parties was just as amazing.
Outside one of Liverpools cathedrals.
visiting Alton Towers with the guys and girls back home. Managed to cram so much into so little time over easter with everyone. was great to see everyone again, being able to catch up and share experiences is something unique.
The opening of Central Perk Cafe in Liverpool.
managed another Alton Towers trip with uni a few weeks later!
more new friends and an underground rave in Liverpool's Shipping Forecast. Still one of my favourite places in Liverpool!
BBQ'ing with a friend from home who's in the same uni as me living just down the road from where I was :)
Just us being ninja turtles for a fancy dress birthday party :)
quite a few people showed up!
Loving the sun shine last few weeks of Uni.. had SOOO many BBQ's and drank so much beer it was crazy! around exam time too! scary stuff
Bennies Birthday! Big meal down at the albert docks with a ton of people, you can just see the Liver building poking up in the background.
With Ellen at the Smirnoff Party in Medication
