Happy May Day!

I didn't stay up all night partying, as had to do an essay (and failed miserably, this is going to so haunt me in weeks to come) but I did wake up at 5am as per Oxford tradition and listened to the Choir on Magdalen Tower, it was pretty awesome, though ridiculously cold and there were thousands of people, the croud then took us to Radcliffe square and there were Morris dancers and all kinds of other dancers and fire eaters and people walking their trees around on a leash and a man with a giant cheese hat and then we tried to find a place to have breakfast and our college porter nearly ran us over on his motorbike which was bizarre. I am never doing this again and I didn't do it last year, but I am glad that I did, despite 5 hours of sleep, not writing an essay and going to a tute this morning unprepared and catching a horrible cold so that I need to cover myself with blankets in order to survive...well almost glad. I took a million photos of Oxford all sunny and beautiful and played a tourist and loved it. Hee.

Had breakfast in a cafe called Heroes which was pretty awesome, because I am very sad.

Could not go back to bed as had a tute which was really cool, and this time [personal profile] loneraven barged in my tute instead of the other way round, and my tutor who looks like Sam Vimes (for real) disregarded that the essay my tute pattern had written completely missed the point and made me mint tea and in nice simple language explained the topic. Suspect he thinks we are very stupid, but at least he likes us. (He was on our reading list this week, which is a bit whoa, you know?) Then had very late tutors collections and now have to read about the US detente policy during the cold war which is less that exciting, but it is now warmer outside, both my tutors though last term had gone really well and I will somehow get through this week even though I want to collapse into bed.

My fingers are shaking. I might have a nap, or watch Heroes...

Note to self:

Setting your alarm for 6PM is not a good idea, especially if:

a) You have to get up at 6am
b) You share with someone closer to the front door who tends to get up at 10am and does not appreciate insanely loud knocking ar 6:15am.

How is everyone on this fine, grey November Morning?

I have been founding Oxford recently amazingly gorgeous and gone a bit mad taking photos. But only from my windows, as it is too cold to go outside. So these are my views at different times of day/angles.

Good Morning people! I resisted getting up, but it appears faith is against me. Went out yesterday to Park End, it was insane but in a good way, luckily I didn't drink much so no hangover or anything, the downside to that is that I lack an excuse for my behaviour. Yesterday was not as horribly hectic, however it was better and I like people more, or I like more people at least.

This morning, [livejournal.com profile] deianra called me at half seven, which was nice and if it was only that I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it, however later on as soon as I fell asleep there was a fire alarm!! I don't even know if it was a drill or not, but I think that it wasn't, I did dress in like two seconds, but most people hadn't and there was someone in a towel. Then I went to bed again only to hear lovely drills and other building noises. So yeah Good Morning to me... And to think that I have a free morning, sinse the being online right now.

Missed breakfast, hungry now.

I feel like I have been away for the longest time, it is strange to think that in the real world it's only been a couple of days. However I do feel so disconeceted from fandom, though I have a couple of fics that need to be posted. I think I will create a filter and annoy only the few of you who are interested in the whole university experience. :D
