Fie on Arriva Buses

Well, i know this is something i tend to complain about constantly. But if arriva buses are so incompetent and so unreliable, then i am left with no alternative choices.So myself, lizzy and isa leave the Lodge at 8:40am, as the bus is supposed to arrive at 8:45am. The reason we get out so late is because we are absolutely sure the bus will not turn up before scheduled time, and if it manages to (this is the point where we should all party, cos it never happens), it should wait until the scheduled time. So, we set out to the bus stop and see there are a few more people waiting for the same bus. So its clear that the bus still has not turned up. So, we wait in the freezing cold in the bus stop for our 'favourite' bus, X44. It's now 8:50am, and the bus has still not turned up. 8:55am... oh no! the lecture starts in 5 minutes! We refuse to take a taxi, because we have paid £55 for a stupid bus pass. So we continue to wait. 9am.. What do we do now?? We decide to give up on this lecture, walk back to the room and snuggle under the warm duvet. Oh! but what do we see approaching us?? is it a car? is it a 110?? NO! its the X44!!! We were 15 minutes late for the lecture. To top it all, another incident with the X44 occurred on my way back from bretton. The X44 skipped my stop. Yes.. it stopped a couple of meters away, but still. I pressed the button a few seconds before it was supposed to stop. I stood in front of the bus and yet the bus continued. Had i not asked him why he didn't stop, he would have carried on !! Conclusion and Moral of the story: DO NOT TRUST ARRIVA BUSES.

Bretton Hall and all the snowness!!!

Well... this friday, Kshama and Pavithra, my two friends from the main campus came up to meet me and also to see Bretton Hall before we finally close down at the end of the year. It was perfect, because that day, Bretton was quite white.. i.e, it had some snow.. Not much, but atleast enough to have some fun..!! I have put the pictures below... anyways, other than that, we came back and planned on having a movie marathon, but failed due to this thing called sleepiness. But we did manage to watch 2 films.. anyway.. thats all for now.. enjoy the pics!!

Apta Shirali and me in complete randomness and boredom

Fruitoholism

yes, thats too many to take in less than an hour, I am aware. It was 15 of them. I had finished a whole bag of them! The level of citric acid would have probably exceeded the desired amount for three weeks even, but I did not have any problems whatsoever! Does that mean I have now officially become a fruitoholic? meh. who cares? as long as what goes in me is not junk food, I am fine.
