That bowled me over!


Well yesterday I went bowling at bowlarama to help Stong win the Stong Spirit Cup. I shocked myself by getting three strikes. I haven't had a strike for years. Check out the cool yellow school bus we got taken to the bowling alley in. I also continued working on my very tricky essay, but I feel it is finally coming together. The day before I went for a nice meal in the underground restaurant, the fajitas are heartily reccommended. They also had live music in the form of the joys, a trippy, rocky band!

Work

Today I am going to get a lot of work done as I have been given far too many essays to do, but hey you have to make the best of a bad situation. If anyone asks for me I will be in the library :)

Spotlight!

Well, the story telling night was very interesting. We had this women whose name was BJ, yes she claimed that was her real name, who told us a couple of stories. We then had to hold the talking stick and tell stories to everyone else. There were a few exchange students there, but many were in fact returning students who had just been abroad. I met someone who had just come back from York, which was cool. I also got on well with a returning student from Keele. From Toronto to Stoke, interesting journey! I got up and told stories about Evil Eye in York and funny stuff that has happened to me and Baz. The crowd loved it. Loads of people told their story, but at the end a large group of scandinavians came up to me and said 'you were ze funniest'. It was fun! At the end of the night there was only four of us left and the bar staff. It was held in this campus bar called the underground. One of the staff members singing using the mic for storytelling. We then had an impression off to see who was best using the mic. He did Yoda, I did Mickey Mouse, he did the cookie monster I did James Bond and so on. What we did not realise at the time was that the feedback loop went into the main restaurant and hundreds of students could hear what we were doing. Oh the embarassment, but it was good fun!

En Garde!

Well after a hard day of lectures I thought I deserved a break from Korean History, so I went ot my first fencing meet. The coach is a lady from Russia who in her youth was a master of arms. I am looking forward to getting lessons from her. They were very confused when I turned up wearing my University of York fencing club top; after explaining why I have one they all want one. Tonight I have a story telling session with York International, which should prove interesting. I'll let you know how it goes...
