Start of the Semester

Rather than doing the work that I should be doing, I thought I'd procrastinate and finally write a blog post about my new house!  I moved in last Sunday prior to fresher's week here, and am all settled and saw off Chris (who'd helped me move in and stayed with me for a while) earlier today.  All in all, the house is fantastic and clean and so are my new house mates (hello Kat :P)!  I hadn't seen it at all before I moved in so to find it well above the usual standard of student houses and almost fully furnished was amazing.

So, here's my first wishlist for autumn!

The lead-up to 4th year.

The last couple of weeks have felt a little weird.  In between a few fun outings with friends - like a trip to an amusement park the other day that we enjoyed with as much childish glee as actual children - I feel like I've had a black cloud looming over my head.
