Blah blah blog

So my time over the last 2 weeks has been split between Oxford and Worcester. I had a Reading Week and so came home to see the fam and some friends. The Reading Week kicked off with some good old classic taxi japery with some mates-which I believe is a good start to anyones week. This basically meant that some of us got in a taxi and one said that he would pay the driver double if he left without the others because they were taking so long. This then led to a slap-stick inspired performance by the taxi driver who decided that his moment as a comedian was nigh and decided to drive down the street, wait for them to run and catch up and then drive on a bit further. He did this for about 200 meters mainly because as an audience we found this hilarious but also, I think partly because he had nothing better to do. I also went to see the new Karate Kid with my brother, Matt. It was actually pretty good and included the legendary Jackie Chan which automatically meant the film was going to be good anyway. Incase of any uncertainty, I refer you to Exhibit A.....

So after a week of 'reading' I arrived back in Oxford but I accidentally left my wallet in the car and by the time I realised, my wallet was long gone which meant that the first few days I was without a meal card which I found a bit irksome. So to take my mind off the fact that I had no card for food I decided to watch the Masterchef final. If you missed it, this sums it up pretty well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjckqAU8IkM

Most of my free time this week has been spent playing squash at the local gym. Squash is about the only thing I can do at the gym because it's the only exercise where I'm not being watched my people far more athletic than me. When I signed up and got my gym card, I thought I'd try swimming. Naively I got straight into the fast lane but was immediately demoted by the life-gurad who said 'That old lady doesn't like it if she has to wait behind you". The old lady was surprisingly nippy but I've rarely been back since.

On Wednesday night I popped along to the Oxford Brookes Christian Union for the first time. It was a good night and we spent most of it praying for different things around Oxford and the Uni. Then we went to the Sports Bar on the campus and chatted. It was a good chance to chat to people who live in the main Oxford Brookes campus because my campus seems like a bubble compared the main campus and you don't often get the chance to meet people from there.

The next night some of us from the Primary Education course went out to a bar called calledCamera which was ironically situated just about opposite Jessops. This made me think that it would be amusing to see other bars connected to the shop opposite them e.g. 'Stationary' opposite WHSmith or 'Waste of time- but some good deals' opposite T.K.Maxx.

Tonight is the bonfire night in Oxford which is apparently renowned for putting on a good show but to be honest, I'm not too excited by fireworks anymore. If a firework spells my name out in the sky, then I'll be happy with fireworks...
