Hi everyone,

sorry for the lack of a weekly post - its all getting manic now with work - so this will be a short one too.
Ribanna and i have our 1st final exam on Monday (aghhh) so we are studying and cramming like mad. Had a fair few hand in deadlines on top of that, hence why we have been so quiet!

Kitchen to kitchen  (essentially a fancy dress pub crawl but with kitchens) was very successful! my Kitchen was lord of the rings theme and although it takes a hit at my vanity i may a damn good Hobbit, figure 1. We had 3 rooms decorated - a hobbit hole, Rivendel and Mordor!

Ribannas' kitchen was the red light district so i am not going to say Ribanna made a good hooker - but she did look like something out of the pretty woman era! (fig. 2)

With pit stops at each kitchen from outer space, to harry potter, Africa, childrens birthday parties it was quite a night and the next day I even managed to attempt cross country skiing which consisted of me falling on my butt a lot! But entertaining non the less!!!

Today I am going to squeeze in some time to help a friend make a photograph to support the 'Save the Arctic 30' petition which I will hopefully post the results at some point!
It is now dark all day! I am struggling to go to sleep at night and get up in the morning, it seems my body wants to rise when its lightest 12 noon  but now I am getting in more of a routine which is better!

The amazing news we have all been waiting for is..... WE HAVE ALL GOT A PLACE NEXT SEMESTER!!!!! so I am very very happy about that! I will be doing the two biology modules and it think most of the others are doing the geophysics courses - and we will have an additional blogger,  Rachel Vezza, as she has also got a place and will be joining us in Jan.

So all smiles here - even if the pressure is now on! 

That's all for now, hope your all enjoying the blogs!
