A line from Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and very appropriate for this weekend. This weekend is Strawbear Folk Festival, the festival that is hosted by the residents of Luke's home town, Whittlesey, and me and Luke have a long history of seeing each other at the festival but never doing anything about it. I think the first time either of us noticed the other was in 2005, Luke swears he saw me sitting in a tree watching the bear burning on the Sunday. Then I saw him in 2006, he walked right past me at the ceilidh on the Saturday night and I remember thinking "Hello, I'll be talking to you later!", but unfortunately he was taking his little brother home who had been dancing all day and was really tired. If only he hadn't gone home we could have started our relationship months earlier than we did! Now we go to the ceilidh together every year and this year will be meeting up with his friends from Highschool in the local pub before the real festivities begin, I'm so excited!
Anyway, I don't have such a headache anymore so I think I can handle a more substantial blog than last time I tried to write! On Monday we had our first lecture back from christmas with Tracey, the photography teacher. She told me my pictures this time were a lot better and that I'm looking at getting a good mark so I'm hoping if I can put all the time in I want to put in then I might get a 2:1 for a change!! That'll be fantastic if I do. My camera is in my bag with full battery and spare memory card so I can take plenty of pictures at Strawbear and hopefully add them to the massive collection I already have for this project, we'll see.
The other big thing that happened this week was receiving a text message off Lauren, a girl on my course. We have spoken a few times before and get along pretty good, but before christmas we'd both been comaplaining that we never got told when the people from our course were going out so kept missing social events. But she sent a text to me on tuesday and asked if I wanted to go out with her and a few of the other people on the course. We met at Essence, one of the local bar/pub type things and got really quite drunk. (5 cocktails and 5 shots, plus paying to get into the club later on and I still had change from a £20?!) We met up with Charlotte, Dara, elizabeth, Amy, Lucy, Lucy's friend I don't know the name of, Luke and even Rebecca from our course and I also saw Sophy (manager of Shellshocked, the film I'm in) and had a really fantastic time! I'm really glad I went and can't wait for the next outing we all go on. But me and Lauren have started getting on really really well. Last night she was talking to me over facebook and told me she had lost her charger for her 450DSLR camera, so I went over to lend her mine, and ended up staying over until about 2:30 in the morning! Was good fun though, I can see me and her being really good friends. I found out this week who else is going on the San Fransisco trip with me in Febuary. Dara who was there on tuesday and is lovely, Rebecca who I'm getting on with better and better every time we talk and Tarryn who I have never really spoken to properly but that's probably because she's a joint student. It's gonna be such an amazing time! Can't wait for it.
Anyway, although my lecture doesn't start until 1:30pm today and it's only 11:55am, I need to go. I have to go to pick up a perscription from my doctor and cash it in at Boots, finish packing and do something to tame my hair which is not liking all this cold weather and the changes in the water I keep having to do through moving round the country. So I shall write again when I get back from Straw bear. I hope you're enjoying my blog!
