More Free Food

Let's see, on Saturday we had the Mad Science Dorm Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Social, that was a lot of fun. Also on Saturday there was a bee-bee-queue at Anna Mann dorm, so that saved me eating at Commons that day. Here is a photo of English Alice and English Charlotte eating tasty burgers, and also the Bbq maestro Farai, who is rather magnificently wearing a Shaun of the Dead Tshirt. After the burgers and ice cream we spent a good deal of the evening sitting around in MacNaughton dorm singing weird songs, (what songs? I can't remember), before heading off to a party at Birchwood apartments. The party was quite lame as everyone was already smashed and dancing with each other in a provocative manner, but I talked to a few people anyway. I made friends with a guy who looked just like Ferris Bueller, though I think that friendship may be spoiled when we bumped into him in Commons today and Charlotte exclaimed: "You're right Susie, he does look a lot like Ferris Bueller". Oh well.

Free food on Sunday was a massive cake for the International Students, and I think that's about it for free edibles this week. Monday night I spent about three hours in the art department drawing a skeleton. Tuesday night was National Talk Like a Pirate Day, so there was a Pirate themed dinner in Commons, including alcohol-free grog (it consisted mostly of milk and peanut butter- see what I mean?!) Last night I was working all bloody night, it was so depressing.

Lessons have been interesting this week. Lately I have been learning about The Quiet American by Graham Greene; phonology and phonetics, (very different things, not too clear on exactly why just now); bloody Ezra Pound and his metrical structure; and the skeletal structure of the body for Figure Drawing (hence a romantic evening date with a plastic skellington).

Hooray for my week!

I think I might go drink some beer and eat some biscuits.

P.s. Look, just look, at what the Americans have done to Deal Or No Deal. Shameful.

We watched the Deal or No Deal thing and have decided that to make it better all the girls should be wearing Noel Edmond's delightful shirts and beard.

Its currently Lauren and Amy's week of FUN without Susie.

We went for an eye test.

We went on a walk.

We got drunk with a crazy bi-sexual guy who looked down Lauren's top when she was asleep.

Today we're going to Edinburgh to see the sights and eat sushi.

Its the Zombie BBQ tomorrow and Amy is going as a green Amy and Lauren is going as Crabhead from Half Life Two. We'll send pictures!

Oh my goodness, I thought I was the only person to ever look at the 'Nice Cup Of Tea And A Sit Down' website! I suddenly feel less alone :)

I loved what they said about Iced Gems:

I've always pictured them as a sort of sweetened gravel. When visiting our local builders merchants I find myself subconsciously looking for hundred weight bags of them amongst pea shingle and quarter inch chippings.

Nutter Butters are really good though. They have peanut butter in, are we surprised?

I'm glad you are having a good time in Scotland Amy & Lauren. I wish I was having an eye test! I can't wait for photos from the Zombie bbq.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DEAL OR NO DEAL. How trashy but hilarious.
A far cry from Noel Edmunds and the tragic English cases with their red boxes and best of luck-isms.

FAT TIRE BEER.
Yummmmmmmm.
