"Airplane travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo "-Al Gore

Hey people.
I understand that it has been a good while since I last blogged. This would be due to the large amount of exams and related celebrations plus general business afterwards. Due to this, I have actually forgotten the order of events in my mind... This is hopefully not due to some sort of long-onset insanity, but anyhoo... I'm just gonna go over my pictures and try to jog memories from those pictures. I therefore apologise but this is a long blog due to large amounts of forgetting about doing it, I'll be impressed with anyone who reads it all....  Im hoping the pictures will speak louder than words so you can just skim through the pics :p


Right, starting with GameSoc. This was just before my final exam, but I had had enough of revision by this point so just went for a break. This involved playing 7 Wonders, an awesome card drafting game, and Cutthroat Caverns one of my most backstabbing games, which is always fun. This set me up well for my final exam the next day.







Suits! (except Trav, who is lame...)
Then, as quickly as they had started, they were done (I think they went fairly well [but results will tell eh?]) Highlights of the exams involoved a PoU exam that made sex with a "come-dumpster" seem trivial (yes guy that one is for you, i do not like that phrase)  This meant that it was celebration time. Highlights of my night involved some accidental flirting from a slightly drunk Brian, some pretty good pool games, and suits! Unfortunatly I wasn't feeling tip-top and thus I had to leave early...


The following weekend involoved moving out of my room at Twyford Court at Uni and into Soph's house for the week. Sunday then involoved wargaming followed by a night out listening to the University Big Band with some very cool people. Interesting fact: 2 of the people in the Big Band were in HLO with me back in hitchin (Small World eh?) this eve was awesome, some of my favourite music and some amazing dancing from the male singer!


Moving on... (yes there's more :p). It was time for Chris and Karls birthday. Chris has been my mate since 1st year, including being my roommate at Cabell Rd. Karl joined us here in Surrey this year on ERASMUS placement (probably spelt wrong) and quickly became a member of our group, cause he is a pretty cool guy.. Anyway we all had a good night and I hope Chris and Karl enjoyed the celebrations, even though Chris failed to get as wasted as last year... (Chris is ooolldddd...)


I only look a little bit silly...
The next night, It was GameSoc. I played Powergrid and something else, I forget... After this I had promised people that I would play "4 Chords" at open Mic night at Channies. For those of you who have not seen me do this; firstly, where have you been at any oppertunity which I have had to play it, and secondly, get over to YouTube and watch Axis of Awesome doing 4 chords (Benny is far sexier than me, but doesn't have a uke) I would like to thank Emm for the use of her amazing Electric-Acoustic Uke and Gareth for taking the pics. I had great fun doing it!

Nearly there...
People try to hold back the tears...

Friday was another day of GameSoc, where I played A Game of Thrones board game. This was great fun, and I managed to finish in second! The evening was then a farewell night, so that people could cry over Jonny, Ross, Rosh and Myself dissapearing away for our respective placements.
This was an amazing night. I did a triple shot of something (ask Le-roy if interested) that was red, white and blue with Jonny and Le-Roy and said goodbye to a lot of people who have meant so much to me over the last couple of years. So thank you everyone for      an amazing night!

That should keep everybody updated with my life for the last while, hope you enjoyed reading about it or experiencing it with me. :)
I'm hoping that my next post should be from New Haven, where I will hopefully be recovered from Jet-lag in 1 and a half days to get to my new job! I'm really excited about it now and hope to have a really awesome week back at home this week with Soph and my parents etc...

I will end this with a final goodbye to everybody who means so much to me. It's not fair that I have to say goodbye to so many people in such a small space of time, but that's probably what I get for caring about all of you! I hope you all have fantastic years and that they are not at all ruined by all of the missing me which you are going to do! I love each of you for entirely different reasons, some of which are strange and confusing to me, but I'll skip over those... :P In short, so long England!

Achievement unlocked!

Matt is going to be closer to me soon than any of you in England.

Therefore he loves me more.
