Hello All!
In just 22 days time I’m home for an entire month for my holiday break! I am of course more than ecstatic about! But man have these two terms have absolutely flown by. It’s going to be nice to be on holiday without any courses to worry about. I have three upcoming exams (I’m clearly procrastinating at this very moment, but a girl needs a break from Contract law) and the school apparently hates my class as they have scheduled our two hard exams (two term courses) back to back. But I really can’t complain since I only have 3 exams in total, 2 three hour and one just an hour and a half. Better than my undergrad at Queen’s really! These exams are our first ones that actually count toward our overall GPA since the first lot we did in June were ‘pre-lims’ so I’m a tad nervous! Can’t believe I’m almost half way through law school, real life is encroaching! We got to pick our options for next year and after much deliberation trying to sort out which courses I can take and not have to take extra accreditation exams when I get back to Canada I’ve figured out I can actually take Sports Law which I am SUPER pumped about. I’ve pretty much decided that I want to take a stab at becoming a sports agent and clearly that course will help since there’s a module specifically on agents. Other good news is that I’ve managed to convince another person from Brighton to come here!! So excited, provided all the paper work goes through in time another lovely blonde Brightonian will be here come January! So what else has been going on…?
Halloween was a really fun night, but exceptionally disappointing at the same time. The English just do not know how to celebrate it properly! We managed to have a great night despite the lack of outsider participation! We did the usual, costumes, drinking games, followed by dancing and debauchery. We also played flip cup with jello shots which was hilarious, and is probably why the time at the club is mucho blurry. Brett (my sister) and I dressed up as ninjas, all in black with some weapons with great intentions to photo bomb people all night but it just didn’t happen…

| Scoring!! |
My hockey team has had a good start to the season. We moved up to the top league in the country so things are clearly much more challenging but we’ve won two and lost one. Not too shabby!! Got a hat-trick in the first game! Woot woot! It’s going to be a tough season, especially since we play three twenty minute periods and we only have two lines. For a boozy asthmatic it’s so harrrdddd. Oh well, I’ll live.
You know how I whined about the lack of butter popcorn and dill seasoning at the movies, it has not stopped me from getting an unlimited movie pass! It’s awesome. I can see as many movies as I want for 15 pounds a month. And being a student, when I’m not studying for exams, I obviously have many evenings free! Hahaha Only thing that sucks is right now is that none of my house mates or friends at school have one, so I can’t just drag em with me, but a friend on my team does so it’s working out ok! Life would be just dandy if they only had better popcorn, although that might be rough on the waist line, so it’s probably for the best! I also went and saw the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 1, judge away, but I loveeeddd it (of course). I stick by my point that Twilight is like porn for girls, not that women don’t like regular porn, but you know what I mean. It’s superfluous nonsense with plenty of eye candy that requires zero thought. I would never dream of subjecting a guy to it.
Speaking of plenty of eye candy, there are some freaking hotties that go to my gym. One in particular, yummmm (Brett knows who I mean). It’s nice when they’re there and I’m doing cardio as I can just enjoy the view (ya boys, we look too). But I’m sure many of you can relate that when I want to use the free weights it’s so damn intimidating!! It’s a really small gym, so if there’s like 5 guys using the free weights it’s crowded. I long for the days of the Queen’s University gym (not that I went). That’s something I regret, not being more active during my undergrad. I wonder if things would have been different had I not been a bit chubby! Hahaha Oh wellll I had amazing cleavage and I was never insecure. Definitely happier with how I look now though, but I miss those cans. ;)
Did something else embarrassing today, that I’m so not ashamed of, played my Christmas song play list while I was driving Brett to work and at the gym! Bahahaha loveeeeed it. That shit just puts me in the best mood! I am definitely one of those extremely annoying people who love Christmas carols and can’t get enough of them. And on that note, I can’t wait to see you all during the break! I hope there’s some snow when I get home!! I’m also planning on bringing my hockey equipment home with me since I can’t afford to have an entire month off (the aforementioned 3x 20s…) so if anyone has ice time and wants a skater, let me know. Excited! It’s the most wonderful time of the year… :D
Love you all
Ashley
