Reading Week in Summary

This week has on the whole been lovely.  It started off on Monday with a job interview which I was not sure had gone that well!  It continued on Tuesday with a job offer!  Which I happily accepted, though I'm not looking forward to the travel costs...

On Wednesday morning there was a slight blip with a horrible driving lesson...

(*Not actually me or my car)

But I suppose it could have been worse...

To make it better I had a fantastical evening at TGI Fridays - Leicester Square.

This as many people know if one of my favourite places.  I had some lovely cocktails (Paradise Punch and a Pina Colada) a banana milkshake oh and dinner of course.  And the wonderful Pami to keep me company and make me drink horrid drinks with tequilla in them...

Thursday was epic in that there was NANDO's which anyone who know me knows is a very very important part of my life.  Again spent time with wonderful people, but obviously the food was more important in this case... only joking guys!!! (mostly)

Friday there was an evil migraine, work and missing out on going to China town for dinner, but there was also watching Toy Story curled up in bed to cheer me up.

Saturday was my Mum's birthday!  In the day though we did a bit of shopping, I bought Red on DVD which I've yet to watch but am very excited to!  I think it was one of my favourite films last year and would definitely recommend it.

I also then went shopping and spent most of my paycheck but got a nice top which I then later wore when we went out for dinner.  I ended up buying the first round of drinks, which cost £16 for four!  I had literally just enough money and then cried for the rest of the meal.  Me and my sister ran away and left my parents to it when they brought the bill over! *g*  We went to this really nice place in Iver though called The Swan and I had literally one of the best pizza's I have ever tasted (and FYI, that's a lot of pizza), so I'd definitely recommend the place!

Today however is Sunday, and far from my day of rest I am frantically trying to do my formative assigment due on Tuesday, which is a research proposal.  It's not going to badly but I think I might give up for a bit soon to go and watch Red....

I hope everyone's week has been as good (if less costly) than mine!  Tonight's television highlights include The Promise on at 9pm on Channel 4 and Being Human also on at 9pm on BBC 3.

University and Travel News

Today I was browsing the placement and careers workshops page at Brunel and came across something shocking and frankly quite terrifying.  On the workshops page there is, as with most parts of the site, a picture of students looking thoughtful, academic or happy and carefree...who all these people are I don't know.  But this picture included me! And several other students:

And obviously these workshops are wonderful and worthwhile and help us learn new things.  It's a shame I have no memory of what workshop we were in when this picture was taken...

So for anyone interested there is an interesting workshop on 2nd March at 1.30pm.  You need to go to the How to workshop tab and page to the bottom.  Details are as follows:

This week we also have to choose our dissertation supervisor.  If you like me have no idea who to choose there's a list of staff members and research interests here at the Sociology and Communications home page.  Good luck!

In travel news, there is a bucketload of train closures this weekend so plan carefully! Luckily my plans involve lovely old Uxbridge so I can use the bus.

You can check the train closures here at the tfl website.  You can sign up for an email which saves you doing this though here.
