Christmas cookies

Me and Liam......last Christmas......and this Christmas, both times nomming out on Christmas animal cookies, I think they've become a bit of a tradition....

Student Fancy Dress!

Me and Liam decided to have a bit of a girly night last night. It started with wine, Sex and the City and chocolate and ended in drunken dancing to 90's pop music and dressing up in drama gear.....like this.....

footnote: Liams drama society play is Sunday so we have all the costumes in our living room..... SO we spent the day riffling through them....

And the evening prancing around in them....

Me and Liam haven't really had any good in depth chats in a long time. Were always with everyone else but last night both the boyfriends were occupied with boozing somewhere, and us being poor and kinda lame spent the Friday night dressed up like Edina monsoon, drinking, smoking and having a good old catch up......

.....this quickly lead to horrific dancing around the house......and then Katy joined us after leaving the LRV.....

And we had a little awesome dancing....

little bit more wine....

and some rad chats.

Then the boyfriend came home, vomited and needed to be helped to bed.....by me.....being only slightly less drunk than he was, it took intent concentration not to drop him....

This morning my head hurt......a lot.....thats all I will say......

Students, oh how it fly's by!

Well we've figured out that were about half way our university experience and I've decided to do some comparisons from how we started to now....

I'm feeling very nostalgic tonight, looking over this blog and scanning through old photos so, I'm not going to focus on the stress and the cold and the poorness, tonight I'm feeling a photo posting session of all the good times I've had with the guys though Uni!

First up, my finest, incomparable peer, Liam...

First year out partying......second year, in and drunk on cheap wine....we still party....were just poorer......

Joel! The first year of uni at a house party and second year at our house :)....with a one-sie..

Note: Yes Joel is wearing the same t-shirt, nothings changed there....

This first piccie is the very first time I met Dannie last year, the second year picture is us licking Sians foot......interestin...

First up here is the first time we went out last year and Liam brought Aaron along.....second picture is me and Aaron this year at 'Geek' night..after getting to know each other and being maties..... quite a bit of change here....

Everyone's the same really.....apart from the fact that we all have shorter haircuts and know each other a little better :)

Lets continue this trend.

Student Stress!

2 weeks left and assignments are due.....

Joels spent 2 weeks planning his essay and two days piling through law books and typing it up...

Liams been bouncing in between drama rehearsals and drama society for hours on end and occasionally pops home for a slice of toast....

Liam "I'm stressed out, I have a show on Sunday and I don't know if its going to work and I don't know if people know there choreography, or there harmonies and, and, and, (DRAMATIC PAUSE) I'm going to be drunk when this show happens...." - Liam.

This is what stress does to a student.

Aarons been dwelling in the fine art studio drawing and things....

And I've been trying not to hyper ventilate whilst panicking about video packages, news stories and law exams....and all this constant panic leads to the inevitable lack of my ability to actually work!

Stressful times at the moment and everyone's feeling it. So when everyone was out I decided to let off some steam.....I literally stood in the middle of the living room and did this......

I think its healthy to have a good scream once in a while, let it all out, have a private little rage....

It did kind of help, I took a big sigh and although, seemingly, hadn't achieved anything, I personally felt better......

still have a load of work to do though so maybe not so helpful in that respect....

But sometimes you have to have a moment to breath and realise that's its not the end of the world, and if your killing yourself with stress.....well where's the fun in that?
