23rd March 2008 (Easter Sunday)

Last night was pretty fun. We went out with our friends and Mandeep's friend who is visiting. She is called Angela, and she is really fun. She spent the night trying to get me to smile in photos so there are way too many random photos of me stood doing nothing.

Today started off OK. We had to get up early because my flatmates wanted to go out for a meal to celebrate Easter. I woke up about 11 and surprisingly I wasn't tired after last night. I think my sleeping routine of only sleeping for 8 hours is starting to work out well. I don't feel quite so tired during the day, although with my lack of money and food, I'm eating more of what little I have.

I was ready within 30 minutes as always, and as I know the rest of them won't be ready for a good while, I watched two episodes of 'The League of Gentlemen'. After watching them, I turned off my computer, and went to see where all the rest of my friends were. Christina, Matthew and Angela were in Mandeep's room with Mandeep. We sat for a while waiting for Claire, Sabina and Rebecca to get ready, as always. After 30 minutes, they finally get ready and we set off.

We went to a place called 'Chesters' on Chester Road, which I had never seen or heard of before. This surprised me since it was like a giant castle close to where I used to live. Unfortunately, it was a pub, and it just so happened that there was a big football match on, Manchester United vs Liverpool, so the pub was packed. Me, Sabina, Rebecca and Slater were told to get this corner seat before someone else did, then the others disappeared. Rebecca was fairly annoyed that they hadn't even told us they weren't sitting with us, because we assumed they were looking for a bigger table. Sabina seemed quite upset by it, because she didn't see the point of going out as a group, to then sit away from each other. Sabina was also a bit upset due to the fact that we were the four people who weren't living with the rest of them last year, although it was clearly coincedence.

The meal was good, and I let Sabina pay for it, begrudgingly. I had a sunday lunch, and part of Sabina's lunch and dessert because she couldn't eat it. I think she was just nervous about the date she had later in the evening. We had good fun, just basically talking about completely random, stupid stuff, whcih to be honest, isn't unusual.

We apparently had plans to walk to a park near the Winter Gardens but it started to snow, and the girls didn't like that idea, so we just walked back to our flat. We sat in the lounge, just talking about random stuff, and we decided to watch the videos we filmed in Ireland. They didn't give an apt view of the holiday because we all really enjoyed it, yet the videos were pretty boring.

Since then, we have just been sat around in the lounge, achieving absolutely nothing. I logged on to MSN and saw that Maddy was online. I really like her and wish I hadn't been so nervous when she was here last. She sent me two songs by a band she likes called Gogol Bordello. She described them as a "gypsy punk band".

I plan to wake up early tomorrow and finish my E-Commerce assignment.
