"The End Is Near" (It's Only The First Year For Goodness Sake!)

Tonight was my final night on campus although it was a pretty low key affair as everyone else is still staying until chucking out time at the beginning of June. Quite a few people were present at the Undies for Joey's little birthday do including Pippa, Chris, and Rosie whose present for Joey was the entire set of Harry Potter books knowing that he's one of those whose never got into the wizard phenomenom! Josie, Ross and Matthew arrived later and even Tudor was present to record Goodlass compering the Undercroft's 'Deal Or No Deal' but I'll go onto that later.

Joey managed to order pizzas as planned although it was difficult to find a takeaway service that wasn't petty about delivering to University campuses. It was worth the wait though and we even got Viennetta Ice Cream which I have been dying for after sipping many of those shots which have a similar taste! Goodlass managed to be on top form for 'Deal Or No Deal' with lines such as:
"Right, the banker says you're shit and are doing rubbish"
Ricky was on hand to help out with the techinical side as we now had musical cues from the TV series including the underscore of the theme tune which managed to get stuck in many peoples heads by the end of the night! He was also in charge of the Powerpoint display with the prizes although he got a bit too keen on the booze resulting in the wrong prizes being eliminated at the wrong time in the final round!

Getting back from the Underpants as always was eventful with a rather noisy stranger on campus in awe of Leeds Utd chanting loudly despite losing to Watford earlier. He obviously knew Pippa as he was hassling Joey to give her a hug to the tune of 'You're Not Singing Anymore' Not the best way I'd like to say goodbye to everyone but you don't want to get too emotional. However I did say bye bye to Jo Cave just before entering the flat as it would only be fair to say goodbye properly in a sober manner and she's definitely one of the nicest people I've met here at Uni. I'm quite gutted that she's apparently planning to move near Central next year but we're still staying in touch.

Some of the things I'll remember from the people here:

Matthew Linfoot (Senior Radio Lecturer): "Radio by the way, is a non-visual medium"

Ross Goodlass: "Stay Classy"

Ricky Marshall: "Spantastic"

Ross Tilley: "I Know Nothing About Punk"

Edward 'Tudor' Burke : "Feff Off"

Steve Jones: "Alvin Or Theodore. No one likes Simon"

Aussie Ashlee: (On hearing a song by Jet) "Yay, they're Australian!"

Tim Pryor: "No One Knows"

Jo Cave: "Yeah, Baby!"

Josie Edwards: "Party In Flat 10!"

Everything's now packed up and I shall be leaving for Canterbury early tomorrow morning. I really don't know how I'm going to cope back there for three months but hopefully I won't distance myself from anyone I've met in the last 8 months.
