Non- Wintery Skating Wonderland

It seemed to me that after exams life would get more relaxing, but instead it just seems to have gotten even busier! For one, I've been trying to figure out courses, dropping and adding various ones right and left. While bored in my Introduction to Finance and Accounting class, I calculated that I've been sifting in and out of 5 different departments across the university (most people take courses only in one department)- Ah the joys of being an artsci! For those of you who thought you'd never see the day when I'd take a finance course, I think I like it, plus having a couple friends in the class always helps. Anyways, I intend to have all this class stuff sorted out by Monday.

My job search, unfortunately, is not going well, but I will be handing out resumes, or C.V.'s, as they call it here, tomorrow, keeping fingers crossed!

Otherwise, a huge group of us (maybe 15? or so) went skating the other night in the middle of the Leeds City Center. Although I would have given almost anything for a hockey stick, instead we had to rent these blue plastic skates with buckles on them that made your ankle feel like you were wearing a cast! Nevertheless, it was soo fun skating with all my flatmates and everyone. We went to the Old Bar in the union afterwards and met up with some others. Last night a bunch of us went to the Spice Bar. Although there were no belly dancers, we sat in a quaint little indoor patio outside the bar and watched Nicole sip her chili mango martini- seemed very spicy from where I was sitting! Of course, can't forget my beloved pilates classes and am patiently awaiting my GI Jane figure.

In other news, it also snowed in Leeds for the first and only time earlier this week. Otherwise, the weather is pretty mild, not wintery at all, but a bit chilly at night. It actually rained while skating, rather than snowing, funny enough. And in response to my room being such a pig-sty I cleaned it better than Mr. Clean could have ever imagined, even though it involved having to steal the hoover from the flat next door because ours just blows out dirt and dust everywhere. But it is SO clean now, and feels much better!

Cheers!
