'Sup.

So, things have been happening. Not much, but they're there.

On Saturday I went to visit Grandma, which was lovely. I ordered the tickets online (The Trainline charged a £1 booking fee so I got them straight from the South-West Trains website. Yay, savings!), and went to pick them up from the station on Friday. I made sure I asked the woman at the desk where I'd have to go, because there were engineering works on the line and half of the journey would have to be by bus. I'm terrified of catching buses to or in places I don't know. With trains they tell you which stop is coming up. Buses... *shudder*. ANYWAY. I had to get up at 06:30 to leave at 06:55 to get the bus at 07:15 to get to the station for 07:33 to get the bus to Brockenhurst at 08:02 and get there at 08:33 to get the train to Wareham at 08:50 and get there at 09:43 *slumps*. On the way back I had to get a coach from Bournemouth, but by that time I was a replacement-bus-service-pro. I had a good day, though. We sat in the living room for a couple of hours and just chatted, then went out for a pub lunch and a short walk.

I got back to the Interchange and almost straight away had to go to Kate's for our pizza-and-maths session. The driver of the bus I got on, when turning onto Portswood Road, didn't turn his wheel soon enough, and got wedged behind an ambulance which was half-parked on the pavement with its hazard lights on and no-one in it. The driver sat there and honked his horn for a while, and the bus was sticking out into the middle of the junction, so was blocking up all the cars which wanted to turn right behind it. A few cars who wanted to go down the street the bus was blocking up started honking their horns, which really didn't help. After about 10 minutes a woman from the pub on the corner came out and stood in the middle of the junction to stop the traffic so the bus driver could reverse and try again.

Finally got to Gateley, and Kate, Becca, Ross and Mat were already there. We did about 10 minutes of Maths, 15 minutes deciding how we were going to sort out the pizzas, 5 minutes trying to order them on Mat's temperamental phone, then half an hour going to collect them. Not much Maths got done, unsuprisingly. After that we went back to South Hill because Ross and Becca were going out with their flats and invited us along. Me, Kate and Mat felt hugely out of place because everyone else knew each other and were getting drunk, but we had no alcohol with us. We ended up making a little man out of bottle foil and telling stupid jokes to one another.

When we had to leave, me, Kate, Mat and Becca decided we weren't going to go to Jesters (a competitor for the Skankiest Club In Europe) so went back to Kate's and watched a movie instead. Unfortunately, Kate only has mostly horror movies, which wasn't great. We ended up watching Severance, which was supposed to be a comedy horror. It was funny in places, but that was kind of ruined by the fact that I spent most of it hugging my knees and covering my eyes and ears. I do not cope well with horror movies. Gore is usually fine, but all the stalking through the forest and chases and URGH.

Sweet thing: on the way down Glen Eyre Road, Kate, Becca and I ended up talking about boys and how none of us have ever had a boyfriend. Mat was very taken aback and formally apologised for his gender. N'awww. He's almost painfully gentlemanly sometimes.

After the movie, at about 01:30, Becca, Mat and I walked back to Highfield Halls. Me and Becca were dressed for going out, so we were freezing. It was really foggy too, which made it very eerie. We got a taxi from Highfield back to South Hill after dropping Mat off. I went on G+ for about half an hour, so went to bed at about 03:00.

I then had to get up at 09:00 for my last 3 diving lectures. Luckily they only took 3 hours this time, not like the 6 hours for 4 lectures last time. Sat next to Doug again, only we didn't have a lunch break to talk in this time... After that I came home and vegged about for a while. I was going to do my washing, but I didn't have any change. I'm not sure if I did any work. I can't remember. At 19:30 I met Becca to go down to the Union to meet Mat and Tania to see Captain America. My goodness, that film is hilarious. Ahhh.

Not much happened today. Went to Maths (on the way I asked Kathryn if she wanted to live with me and Kate next year [we decided we were going to live together on Saturday] and she said yes), went to the Café, went to the tutorial, went home, did Maths. In the Café I was talking quietly with Kate about whether we should ask Mat if he wants to live with us, because he'd been saying that he has no idea what he's doing next year, and she said she didn't know if he'd want to and it might be a bit weird. I did agree with her, but I'm not entirely sure why. Ah well. She's asked two geologists, Ed (who I don't know) and Lizzie (who I kind of know), too. Lizzie said yes, Ed is a maybe. We shall see!

Had a lovely Kempo session today. Very relaxed, mostly just focusing on stretching and flexibility. For the last 15 minutes we gave each other special Kempo massages, and a few times people poked their heads in the door and looked at us strangely. Went to the pub afterwards and got given little tasters of this delicious cider - Rekorderlig Winter Cider. I got a bottle. I may have to buy it regularly from now on.
