Isn't strange how friendships come and go? I don't mean as a result of things like moving away to Uni either - I'm talking about more generally here.
For instance, I was looking through my MSN contact list just now and came across a few people that I haven't spoken to ...

At long last, the UK Contingent photos have been made available! Can you spot me in the IST one? I'll give you a hint - I'm wearing a burgundy t-shirt.

Isn't it embarrassing when you forget a birthday? Well, I'm afraid I'm guilty of forgetting a rather important one... the birthday of a dear friend to all of us - the smiley!

It's Christmas!! Well, actually it's not even close - but for some reason I've been feeling distinctly Christmas-y over the past few days.

From making new friends to keeping track of your money, starting University is a pretty daunting experience. Unless you have some inside tips of course, which is why I have spent the past few days speaking to friends at Uni and scouring the internet for advice. And being the nice, ...

I decided to get my Trumpet out this afternoon to have a short practice. And you'll never guess what I spotted when I happened to glance down the bell. Well actually, if you read the title of this post you will guess - for it was a stick! It wasn't ...
