Unloved by Faith


Wednesday was pretty much like any other wednesday. My Arthur tutorial was pretty cool, I like reading about the actual tales or Arthur, and not just the allusions to him in hagiography. There was a little extra twist at the end of the tutorial when the fire alarm randomly went off. I got such a fright I nearly fell out of my chair lol. After my tutorial I got a lot of chemistry work done and that was great. I love having busy work to do lol. It makes me feel a lot less like a lazy shit. I went over to Bri's flat for a little later and did some more work over there with them all. While I was hanging out in the kitchen I read some hilarious facebook messages from my lovely wooster friends, who I really miss. Everyone really enjoyed Kara's bear shotgunning story, as well lol. I was going to start working on my essays, but it gets so dark at 4:30 and then I feel so unmotivated and just tired because of how dark it is. It really sucks. Also, I miss sitting in my room with Kara and just relaxing and doing work. It's hard to find a nice place to do work here. I feel way too isolated in my room, but there isn't really enough room in Bri's kitchen lol. So overall the essay situation is getting kind of scary, but I know that I will get them done fine. I have over three weeks still lol. So to overcome the depressing feeling of midnight black at 5:00, I watched the Lion King on youtube lol. That was such a win of an idea lol. Mina definitely enjoyed listening to Hakuna Matata. But then I was all emotional when Johanne introduced me to her Norwegian friend that was visiting lol. I explained that I was watching the Lion King and it was at the part when Simba is older and Mufasa appears to him in the clouds... so that somewhat cleared that up lol. Then we ate dinner and I went to Bri's flat. Kelsie, Bri, Zoe, Lindsay, and I headed to union and we had a good time chilling there and talking about all sorts of things. The movie topic was pretty hot, especially Disney movies lol. Then we got into the embarrassing moments and my newest story is really a crowd pleaser lol. Anyone reading this has to ask me about it because it's much better when I tell it... lol. I stole a Brother's cider poster from the bar and that made me super happy. I'm just glad that the scary-ish bartender (Ronan Wallace) didn't see me take it lol. Speaking of bar staff, we are at union so much that they barely even ask us what we want anymore. They think we are weirdos because we are union like everyday to close. We really enjoy watching some of them lol... but then we remember that they have CCTV behind the bar and they probably watch us, too lol. WHen we were kicked out of union ("alright girls, you have to go now"), Kelsie, Bri, and I went to South House to try and find out friends, but that was a fail. We even tried climbing in their windows, that generally works, but we just ended up looking like dodgy girls trying to break in to a flat lol. We really have an interesting friendship. Nothing bonds people like climbing in windows and sneaking around a ground floor flat right beside rapey park in the middle of the night lol. 

Thursday started half an hour earlier than I anticipated with a surprise call from Kelsie asking me if I was going to lecture this morning. I was beyond confused and hung up on her after explaining that I slept in lol... then after some serious thinking about what day it was and my schedule, I called her back and asked what class she was going too... then I realized that I have my lab write up at 10. It was pretty funny, but she felt bad about waking me up. I appreciate the gesture anyways. It means a lot that they will track me down if I'm late lol. I had a pretty great time in my lab write up session, too. I ended up talking with the lab assistant about Diels-Alder reactions and organic chemistry and it was great. THEN my lab write up actually involved plotting out a reaction mechanism about nucleophilic addition to a ketone and I was super excited lol. No one else besides me had taken organic chemistry yet so I felt soooo legit. And I got a really good grade again lol. THEN in my inorganic chemistry lecture we have a new lecturer and with the new material we were reviewing some stuff. We were talking about redox reactions and the new lecturer was explaining oxidation and reduction and he said that in America they teach "Leo the Lion says GER" and I nearly freaked out lol AND when he got to the GER part he played a clip of a lion roaring! It was fabulous lol I absolutely loved it! Everyone else thought it was pretty funny, but definitely not to the extent I did. A German girl was sitting by me and she kind of stared at me lol. It was a good time. I only wish that could have lasted in Vikings! The lecturer had a ton of issues with his powerpoint and the internet so he kept trying to explain how the Viking boats worked (I don't understand the obsession with the boats) and he would stop and say "Does that make sense?" and we would all just stare and then he would say "I thought not" and laugh lol at least he was good natured. I enjoyed the charades. Later in the day I worked on my essays with Kelsie in the kitchen and we had a good time sharing misery stories. Then I went to lidl with Mina and we had a lot of fun grocery shopping together lol. She was talking about making this tasty chicken and spinach dish for dinner and apparently I kept asking about the gravy and potato casserole she makes. Lol it's my favorite and I was super happy that she made it for me! We had a good time cooking together with Toni and Jo in the kitchen. Watching Mina peel potatoes is one of the funniest things... I helped her out though lol. We all had a good time talking in the kitchen and eating with Johanne and her friend. At one point we lit the candle in my pumpkin and it was so cute :) We literally sat in the kitchen for like 3 hours... it was great. Then I went to union with Kelsie, Bri, Zoe, and Lindsay. It was pretty crowded in there, so we ended up sitting in this awful corner and people kept walking by and looking (or blatantly not looking) at us. At one point I was impersonating James in his famous "Regi dances to Mamma Mia" youtube video and I was doing the fist pumping motion and some guy walked by right when I was doing it and I was randomly looking in his direction and he smiled and waved at me lol... I think he thought I was waving at him. I suppose a fist pump can be mistake for a wave lol... 

Oh and the title refers to the dirty romance novel which Zoe Proudfoot will write. Lol we came up with the title when Bri's sister, Faith, had friend requested all our friends but us. We are now friends, though. :)
