Ectasy

Now I was not anticipating having to do this post for at least a few weeks until results came out but as soon as I arrived in lectures I was well informed that all the results were up on the noticeboard, promoting a manic nervous rush to said board.

Suffice to say this time the flood gates didn't open, it wasn't a sense of relief, it was as this blog title suggests, a feeling of ectasy. For the first time in years I didn't cry at how poorly i'd done and A2s i jumped up and down. I have to say I did the same thing this time but I wasn't relieved.

So my actual results, overall 74% which puts me 9th in the entire year of about 180 students, other stand out result is my 77% in cell biology which was 2nd.

This is all well and good now I have something to live up to though!




And relax

You may or may not have read a note on facebook by me, that by far is not typical, more one breath getting rid of all I wanted to say.

Now at Sheffield I have been introduced to a few things, these do not include casual sex or hard drugs - more on that later.
No Nando's and Sambuca, the former due to my romantic valentines day and the later from Calum my esteemed neighbour. Nando's chicken is super spicy even medium, now this is not me being a woos but I would like to hear from anybody who has tried hot or extreme, without crying or suffering deadly consequences. Sambuca is a whole different story; I love liquorice but the warm rush is amazing and when combined with vodka and lemonade gives a cloudy lovely drink. Also looks much better than apple sourz when you shot it.... bonus.

But of very recent times I have been listening to the new Young Hearts Society EP which, as one would expect is quite fabulous darling. In all seriousness though the songs and the production are the best I have heard out of a unsigned band which speaks volumes for their talents not only as individuals but as a group. You can hear for yourself at www.myspace.com/youngheartssociety

Hopefully by the weekend i'll have learnt how to use this and upload videos and sort this out to give a full recount of my goings on, which will be good for me. I may have to actively seek to do things as opposed to lounging on facebook for hours procrastinating or slowly improving my rock band skills
