today marked the end of the fresher's fair at the union. forever, forever i am free! goodness i was beginning to think that it would never end to be honest. well, what good that came out of it was that we got to meet many people who were interested in the isa even though they weren't international per se, and hey, that's always a good thing. so it's about time we set up a mailing list that included the british students as well.

lots of second and third years came to said fair, and out of boredom, i took to chatting to some of the organisers at the stalls near us. we were right in front of the stage where the dj was so we made friends, and even though he was a bit of a dodgy old bloke, we managed to get a good contact for our next party. plus, the guy at the union ents table was not bad to look at either, not that you heard it from me...

oh, and i was just reading through my old posts and came up with this:

was desperately trying to control my laughter just a few seconds ago when i was minding my own business at the computer terminal, making myself useful, when who should sit down next to me, but that vision of loveliness (urrmmm), that shock of striking red locks -- yes it was ronald mcdonald mr. he's lovin' it ok!! for a second there i really didn't know what to do, especially after the many fruitful hours we used to spend during the exam week(s) whiling away our breaks laughing about him. ok, not so much him as his awfully awkward behaviour whenever we see him. ahhhhhhhh!! talk about deja vu, i saw him this morning on the way to the train station, and voila, who should i see now at 20something minutes past ten at night but -- him!!!

how come i'm the only one who ever sees him? will this nightmare ever stop.

well guess what? today i went straight up to him and asked him about his society. well, i figured that for renu's future happiness i, as a friend, should go up and say hi to the guy. so i did. it wasn't anything particularly earth-shaking, but he is a very nice guy, i have to say. and he did admit to recognising me, so that's always a good thing. always a good thing. now the hair has faded from a striking red to a soft shade of burnt umber, and well, it suits the guy i give you that much. i take that back: he's no nightmare anymore. although i still like to laugh when i talk to him, with him more than at him anyways. very friendly and likable dude.

we have been taking photos of random people with carmen's canary island hat, and the results really can be quite hilarious, especially when you plonk the hat on and just click before anyone has time to say anything. as kris (kay) put it, 'i better not be seeing this picture on any websites', not that i have any websites to put pictures on... *innocent look* rest assured: you, my loyal visitors, will indeed get to view the aforementioned pictures on this site. watch this space.

the past few night have been very draining. i suppose it has to do with the fact that we haven't had a decent night's sleep in about a week, and since lessons start tomorrow, the chance for catching up on any sleep will be more than futile. even up till today do i still have random muscles that i never even knew i had hurting for no reason, and an angry bruise somewhere near my lymph nodes. brilliant. that, and the fact that someone (i think i know who) has passed me the flu. not the fresher's flu, mind, but proper, second year flu. oh, i don't suppose you can win all the time can you. :) to all those who don't get to see me on a daily basis, really, i look fine. nothing at all like the nervous wreck i describe myself to be. this probably stems from the fact that i have an abnormally low level of self-esteem. yes, that has to be it.

just in case i forget:

i thank you for your laughter

i thank you for your touch

i thank you for your listening ear

i appreciate you so much

i thank you though you're far away

i really think you're great

i thank you for those lovely times

we've had together to date

i thank each and every one of you

it's so easy to see

that these words don't say enough, i think

because you all mean so much to me.

to everyone who has ever touched my life, especially when it mattered so much these past two weeks, thanks a lot. it means a ton to me.
