Christmas 2011

Well as you may have seen or heard on Facebook or Twitter, me and my Bambi (Daniel) are no longer together which is completely my fault :'( and it has been an incredibly hard couple of months. However since I have come home for Christmas we have seen each other a couple of times, been to Meadowhall and the cinema etc and we are now seeing each other which is step forward :D. I'm hoping that when he goes back to Leeds tomorrow he won't forget about me and that I won't lose him but it will make things better and we can keep moving forward and eventually get my Bambi back. I miss him so much!


Anyway what I actually wanted to blog about was Christmas, which I would normally say is the best time of year, hasn't been the same. When I got here we went for a chinese with the family as Aunty Sam, Uncle Dave and Toby had come up for a few days. When we was ordering we asked about student discount and they were fine with it then he asked how old me and Toby were, obvs he is 11 and I said I was 20, however when it came round to him going through what we had ordered he said '2 child's meals'. WHAT!?! The waiter doesn't believe I am 20 but thinks I am under 16, I didn't complain though, its cheaper :). Apart from working I saw Danny on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday where we watched tv and he fixed my laptop and then on Christmas Eve we went to Meadowhall and saw Sherlock Holmes. It was nice to see him again and we have started to get on better :) plus Sherlock was amazing!!! On Thursday I also saw my Tessalina Thumbalina where we updated each other on goings on and swapped Christmas presents :). For Christmas dinner we went to Aunty Mandy's new house, where she has been all housewifey and grown up lol.

Merry Christmas!!

We spent most of the day there and then we had to go home as I had work in the morning. After work I went to Grandma Greg's to wish Grandad Greg a Happy Birthday and she had saved me some tea :'). Lovely thing to come home to after a long days work. Then yesterday me and Danny played on Mum's new wii and watched tv. Today I have been soooo lazy lol and just written my blogs, had a tidy etc etc but I shall be babysitting with Danny later, having a Pizza and watching An Idiot Abroad 2 which I bought him for Chrimbo. As it is the last time I will probably see him before he goes back to Leeds, I want it to be nice and hopefully it will be :)


Fingers Crossed the New Year gets better!!!

Whitby Field Trip 2011

Well I thought as seen as I haven't blogged alot I would go into more detail about my little life in Hull. As I said on a previous post I went to Whitby for my Field Studies in Marine Biology module.

Runswick Bay :)

For this trip we stayed at Sneaton Castle Centre where a shared a floor with Jess, Smee, Hannah and Louise (a demonstrator) but on many nights and days Lydia and Eve came to keep us company. Them and me now make up the Angry Bird Crew (Y).

Day 1: Me and Smee decided to drive up there ourselves as the silly mite gets travel sick so we met the others there. Once we were there we unpacked, talked about the rules, had tea and then walked into Whitby.  Basically all we did was spend our time on the arcades and win a pot angry bird each.

Day 2: Sampling on a rocky shore with the ABCrew and taking the samples back for identification and drawing, then off to the bar for card games and gossip :).

Day 3: Sampling on a sandy beach whilst determining the shore profile and using fancy equipment, then taking the samples back for identification and drawing. This was the longest day ever, we had finished identifying, drawing and sieving through sand before the other groups but had to wait till 8/9pm till we could do the final piece so we didn't get out of the lab till 10pm, but off to the bar we went and played animal charades for our last night :).

Day 4: Shore profiling on a rocky shore and identifying in the field. Then back home :D.

I had a really great time and I met some lovely people :). Cannie wait for next years field trip, it's lovely to get away sometimes!
