Day Trip

OK, i know i aint updated in a while. But there has been nothing going on. I mean, a post saying "went to uni. Did work. Came home. Went to Tae-kwon-do. Had fun. Came home" doesn't make an interesting post.

I went to the seaside today!!! I'm studying in the middle of the country, and yet, i go to the seaside! hehehe. There is actually a good reason why i ended up going to the seaside. Amy, one of my friends, isn't happy at Aston, and is looking to change to do Marine Biology, and Hull has a separate campus at Scarborough for it's Marine-y biology programmes. So me and Amy went to Scarborough for the day. In February.

We were going to get an early night, (midnight is early, right?!) but then Amy's flat decided that they were going to go to the beach party that was on in the guild. So, despite knowing that we'd have to get up early, she went to the guild. And got in at about 3. And went to bed at about 4. And we had to get up at 5. What was the point of going to bed?! I mean, really?

But, as it was a uni open day, we had to be there for 10. And as we were getting the train, it meant we had to get the 6 train from Birmingham, change at York, and we were still only getting to Scarborough for 10.40ish. But the marine biology talk wasn't until 11, so we had enough time to get to the campus once we got off the train.

3 1/2 hours to YORK!! Normally, i can get HOME in 3 1/2 hours! I must have stopped off at basically every station between here and York... Just where IS Donfield or whatever it's called anyway?! See, i don't even know what the station was. Somewhere between Chesterfield and Sheffield... i think...

But yeah, it was a good day. Had a look round the place, went and had a walk along the beach... well, i went for a walk along the beach, Amy went fo an impromptue paddling session... So i was walking along in fits, with her trying to not step in any more big puddles of water... and failing miserably! Eventually, we got off the beach and got some fish and chips, and an ice cream. In February.

Had a bit more mosey around the sea front beofre heading back to town. Decided to call it a day a little early than what we were going to, but we had been up since 5 at this point. if you can call Amy going to sleep that is...

Because we were on the earlier train, when we changed at York, there was no-one in the 1st class, so they said that if you wanted to, for £10, you could upgrade to a 1st class ticket! hehehe... First class seats from York to Birmingham. Of course, the way the train was laid out, the shop where we could get complimentary goodies was at the other end of the train. But still, 1st class! And we're STUDENTS!!

Ok. I think that will do for this post.

Oh, got my next TKD grading on Thursday... eek...
