Splish Splash

Wheeeee! Happy smiley feel-good yay!

Ahem. As you may have gathered from that short outburst, I'm in rather a good mood. Before I outline why, I'd like to direct a heartfelt thank you for all the words of encouragement and general outpouring of empathy I received after my last blog post. You guys did a superb job of putting a smile back on my face. Thank you, thank you, thank you :-)

Now then, as promised I shall illuminate upon happy things.

After researching the logistics of learning to snowboard, I have decided to get an afternoon's professional teaching at the superb snow dome in Manchester before heading off to some proper slopes. Gnarly!

Also, with supreme organisational skills from Sarah, I have a holiday booked in Gdansk (Poland) for March so my itchy feet will enjoy a healthy scratching and my thirsty liver a good dose of Wodka.

In housing news, I've signed a contract to move into the House of Mac in July so will be enjoying the illustrious company of Steve, Amy, Ben and Elmo for the 08/09 academic year. Very excited about this!

Finally (and the reasoning behind the post title), I will be having my very first hip hop dance lesson with Bash and Ope this evening and I really can't wait. Anyone who's been clubbing with me will have been privileged to witness my graceful flailings and will (with politeness subtracted) agree that I need real lessons ;-)

So all's well! Busy schedule, fun times, great friends, feeling connected and optimistic. Let the good times roll!
