Ruminations from Antiquity
25th December (I planned this then...minor delay in posting)
My christmas - muchos fun and shizzle including some rather fabulous presents! I now have a digital camera to fulfill all my posing dreams :-D And also the slightly less conventional digital calculator mirror which inspires a lot of jealousy to be quite honest. It was also an exciting christmas because it was the first christmas I can remember where I did not go to church - woo active atheism (lol). Instead I was all deep and meaningful on my walk around Leyland.
The main structure of this post is a theory Helen, Ally and I have strung together over several Thursday 1pm County Diner Jacket Potato sessions (being a creature of habit is awesome, lol).
Physics/Maths - This group is the founding stone of our theory as there are a group of physicists/mathmagicians who also hang out in the awesome county bar when we do. The guys always look slightly sun deprived, wearing jeans and a dark top with greasy but organised hair. The girls share the same level of organisation in their attire - no dangly sleeves, trousers (if skirts then they aren't floaty ones).
Environmental Science/Geography/Earth Science/Biology - Earthy colours like browns and greens (this doesn't dictate their whole outfit but it will be present in a significant way). Usually wearing jeans or combat-y trousers. Brad is my prime example of this :-p
Business Studies - Normal jeans; not baggy or torn with sober coloured tops (white is a favourite). They carry around their important business notes round in a messenger bag. Lizzi also states that this is also the case of business studies students in Warwick ergo it must be true :-p
Psychology/Sociology - Baggy or torn jeans with bold patterns on their tops. They tend to conform to indie fashion stereotypes (i.e. Pete)
Politics - Tailored clothes or normal fit, usually look smart but will normally have something bold on their person.
Drama/Theatre Studies - Eclectic colours, strong patterns and in girls there is usually some bold jewelry.
Law - Dark colours - usually wearing black in some form. Patterns tend to be lines, tailored jackets.
English Literature - We are an exciting bunch! Guys usually wear open shirts over a t-shirt as they are fervent fans of layering with jeans or coloured trousers. Girls tend to go for floaty, feminine themes in their wardrobe or if not then they have bright make-up with emphasis on the eyes.
So that is the great theory! It is based on a very small sample of people I know who do certain courses (hence why every degree scheme isn't covered) and there will be exceptions just to spoil my fun :-p But I was mildly impressed with it, so nerr

Picking a Facebook status is a hard thing to do...
I have officially finished now for Christmas - this is an exciting prospect after an intense last few weeks of ultimate work :-D Exciting things that have happened...
1) I went to see my room for next year in the Wharf. I have a really nice view (unfortunately not including the helipad) and I'm in the same flat as my lovely flat 10 ladies! I am, however, divided from them by a door and am surrounded by three other gentlemen - this led to much amusement for Kate who enjoys implying that I am a whore, lol.
2) I've had an entire week dedicated to Emily Dickinson in American Literature <3 And even my incredibly dull seminar man could not ruin it! We had to choose our favourite poem from the collection for the seminar...this I found especially hard as there is such a depth to her work. I really enjoy her poems that are concerned with gender (for those of you who know me, will already have experience of my feminist nature) such as 'She rose to His Requirement - dropt' but there are her more self-conscious poems like 'I would not paint - a picture'. One of her other great concerns is religion; her family were devout Christians, swept up in the 'Reawakening' however Emily retained a sense of religious scepticism which can be shown in poems like 'The Bible is an antique volume -'. Dickinson is also aligned towards the self, which makes her stand out amongst contemporaries like Walt Whitman who was very extroverted, whereas throughout her life she became increasingly reclusive.... Any way I'm going to stop this mini thesis on why Emily Dickinson is amazing; ending on the final point that my new ideal career would be to be a renowned researcher on her life and works :-)
Can't think of any other exciting things at the moment apart from my defeats of Mark - although he does kick my ass occasionally; the fact that he practises whereas I just play when I'm round at the boys' house means that I'm not that far behind him...that's what I like to think anyway

An old blog plan from last week
Unfortunately I have recently been drowning under work - not such a fun experience. So this post is a bit outdated...last Friday I think....
Me and Angela had an impromptu night of relaxing on Friday, curled up on the sofa with our laptops close to hand, for spontaneous Wikipedia usage, lol. We settled down to watch Kerrang's 101 Damnation's (Hellraisers of Rock) as the guys had respectively abandoned us for decidedly less amazing climes :-p
We came across a rather fun Homage (to be pronounced with a vaguely French accent) game - in which you look for allusions to other videos in the one you are watching. I began this game with The Offspring's Hit That as an homage to Def Leppard's Lets Get Rocked. My evidence was the perspective - male character walking round town and the colouring of the protagonist (they were both blue). Another more amusing one was the start of Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time with Queen's I Want To Break Free - the foot-tapping against the desk is also done by Roger Taylor (I think that is his name - the one dressed as a schoolgirl).
This nice easy evening also provided a retrospective look at our old music tastes... Songs like She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult, Papa Roach's Last Resort and Deftone's Back In School lead to a bit of excessive youtube-ing after - if only on my side, lol. I also realised the titles and bands from songs I knew (The Used: All That I've Got for example) :-)
Finally a double session of QI and we learnt that the Lake District only has one actual lake... I only remember that it begins with 'Br'...I think...
*returns to present*
Well I'm off to chill and all that jazz... I shall maybe do a more up-to-date post...who knows, lol x x x

Mid-Reading Week Review
Well, it's now Wednesday and I'm sure you're all dying to know how my reading week has gone...
Things I've done from my 'To Do' list:
1)Read Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
2) Read the 207 Romanticism anthology reading
3) Choose a female poet from selection
4) Find article on aforementionned poet
5) Read A Vindication on the Rights of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft
Things I have yet to do...
...yeah lets not even consider that...
Other useful things I have done this week include:
1) Going to the Whale-tail Cafe with Pete and Mark: I had a Tofu BLT which was rather yummy (aided by Garlic Mayonnaise :-D) which was slightly over-priced I felt at £3.50. We then went to Sainsbury's where Pete proceeded to commit ABH (Actual Bodily Harm) against me with a violent swing of his basket - raising the alarm of a Sainsbury's employee, lol.
2) Signed up for Chancellor's Wharf next year with Chris-pea, Helly-poos, Jon (Helly-poo's boyfriend) and Graham (Jon's friend).
3) Went for a wee walk before which was cut slightly short by some loose bovines which I did not care to have a close encounter with, lol
4) Had a brief rendezvous with Toni Hallettfish the Warwicker in which she slunk back to House 39 which she admired extensively (well momentarily - we had greater things like gossip to do)
5) Got my membership for Leyland Historical Society: this is only in order to go and see the mighty David Starkey in June and bask in his genius-ness, lol
6) Received my DVD of North and South so I can spend 4 hours swooning over Richard Armitage and his pure manliness :-D
In conclusion - a good week so far.

Reading Week
Reading week, the mythical event that occurs in Week 6 for only those worthy of such an honour. Also referred to in antiquity as 'independent study week'. It allows us hard working English Literature students a whole week to gorge on text reading, prepare for essays and all that jazz. Or relax a bit. Unfortunately upon completion of my to do list this morning it appears that this secondary, and more favourable option is increasingly unlikely.
There is a way round this though. My North and South DVD arrived this morning - cue much excitement and uber grinnums from me. As North and South is a course text for Victorian Literature; I am entirely justified in watching it this week. <3
This post is immensly short but I have aspirations of writing lots for my blog this week, so yay (possibly :-p)

If you sail the seven seas, you r a Pirate!!!
A seemingly good start to yesterday as nearly immediately after pushing the button to get across the road of doom to get to the bus stop, the lights went red and a nice green man appeared to help me across :-D This rarely happens - in fact it may have been the first time - and to make it extra awesome, it did the same for Angela! There was a moment when I was not talking to myself because I had left my folder at home. A situation which was entirely the fault of Mark and Pete for walking past my window with about 3 minutes in between and ultimately distracting me, lol.
However last night made it all cyclical as when the hardcore Sugarhouse 4 (Me, Pete, Angela and Mark) went to see Pete and the Pirates (and their support act Buen Chico). It was blooming great :-D Me and Angela slunk right to the front for the support act and gave them a warm Lancashire welcome as they called it. We also managed to be right at the front for PATP too and got our respective grooves on! It also turned us into proper fangirls *pines when they walk past* lol. We gained 20 celebrity points too when, after mildly accosting the band for photos and a wee natter *insanely cheesy grin* they asked us for our photo (because mine and Angela's pirate costumes were brilliant if I say so myself)*our Pete flees without us realising* One of the Pete's also said we could be in the band and that he was glad we dressed up at Pirates. Ergo mine and Angela's slightly obsessive love of dressing up is entirely justified! We also made friends at the front with some gentleman pirates (they had fluffy pirate hats) who were very boppy.
All in all it was a rather fabulous day. x x x
