A few first times
On the basis of the saying, “If you don’t have anything good (nice) to say, don’t say anything” last week was a blogless week. Instead I aim to bring you a bumper bonanza blog with another saying as the theme “there’s a first time for everything”. It is not the first time I have missed a blog date but the rest of this blog will be dedicated to a few first times.
It is with great sadness and shame that I announce I have never been to Nando’s before, until today. 29th October 2013. I shall not forget. The chicken, the chips, the corn on the cob. I just had to share this moment with you all. Ashleigh, Jackson, Alastair and Joe you are all immortalised as my first Nando’s companions!
looking a bit fragile after a night out. Nando’s was the right medicine!
It certainly isn’t the first and it certainly won’t be the last time I mention BioSoc. After electing our new Fresher reps to the committee we went for a meal to celebrate. It was at this meal that another first time occurred. I had a ‘carafe’ of wine, (shared with the beautiful model in the photo). Wine is just better when it comes in the equivalent of a conical flask and reminds me of the haunting days of titration work in Chemistry.
The carafe of wine, as displayed by Campbell, perfectly balanced the mountains of pizza I consumed.
Not but two Mondays ago was 7 Legged the titanic bar crawl that takes over Nottingham for one huge night. Sitting in my chair at 7:30 I received the call to arms.
“We’re a man down, basically I’ve got a ticket so you’re coming out”, said my friend Joe.
“Erm, no I can’t” I replied numbly, frozen by the shock of a spontaneous night out being offered to me.
“Yeah you can” was the answer.
Roughly two hours later I was taking part in my first 7 Legged
To round off the blog and to show that University/being a student isn’t all about drinking I’ve also started playing football a whole 3 TIMES a week. Never have I been so in demand, I even saved my first penalty at 11-a-side level and claimed my first Man of the Match Mars Bar during my first game for NatSci. What a week for firsts!
The high demand of washing is taking its toll on my limited supply of football clothes.
