A Rude Awakening!

You know annoying things happen when your most happy and relaxed (like asleep)? Well here is a a light hearted and funny now but not at the time example:
Ok so last night I decided afta long pondering on what to do and of course my milk and cookie to go to bed. Its a reasonable hour to go to bed. It's about 11. Ok I know not that late, I'm at uni and everyone else is probably in the clubs by now but me no I decide to go to bed because yes ok I'll admit it im BORING!! I'm just about getting used to my uni bed and it is now relativly comfortable especially now i have my tinkerbelle pillow (funded by my singing company!). So I settle down and start to drift off to sleep.........meanwhile a few miles away in Rochester resides a crazy guy Mr. Mike Cowdry ( also a uni student and one of my bestest friends) is bored too but he doesn't wnat to go to bed. I guess his bed obviously is not as comfy as mine so he thinks hmmm what can I do for fun? How do I amuse myself? He decides "I know I'll ring Kat and be really ANNOYING!!"
Back in my room I'm sound asleep dreaming about wonderful things such as ......food. Then suddenly I stir from dreamland (im a VERY light sleeper!) and I hear my mobile ringing. I get up and start to stumble around in the dark. It's under my bed! Who put it there? Im so sleepy that i don't even look to see who it is ringing and think that it could be someone important like I dunno um...Jesus! But yeh next thing I hear is..... "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNER!!" typical of Mike not impressed but oh that boy will PAY!!! mwahaha!
Yeh so that was last night and I'm plotting my revenge and what did I learn from this? To put my mobile on silent before bed!

Trains!!

I have been on soooooo many trains in the past few days its unreal! Ok so monday I got on 4 trains in one day! I got on three separate trains to get to straight ahead practise which was cool. I was so happy to get away from my flatmates (well id hardly call them mates but you know what i mean) they are driving me crazy and constantly giving me grief. So I had a chat with a few people at straight ahead about what had been going on at uni and realised that what they are doing is to be blunt bullying! So I decided to catch a train home to Colchester because I needed to see my mum and tell her exactly what had been going on. So then having to catch my fourth train to get home. I hate trains but if its somewhere worth going then I'll get on one. I just hate the noises of them.
So then its Tuesday and I get a further 3 trains to from Colchester to Uni. Im glad i went back to uni though because I saw Simon's jazz concert it was really good. My favourite song was Mcfly five colours! Ok so its not jazz but it was very entertaining! Tuesday night was a good though.
So yesterday Wednesday I had a lecture in the morning but in the afternoon me and Judith get on two trains to get to St. Pauls to meet Nathan. That was a very funny train ride. Jude and me get very silly and giggly when we are together. So we meet Nathan and go to Nandos for dinner. It was so yummy. I actually felt full (its been awhile since i felt full). So then we decided to get coffee. We were looking around St. Pauls for a coffee shop that was actually open. Me and Jude are very tired by this point. Its something about Nandos it makes us both very tired lol. I get silly when I'm tired and somehow I ended up hit Nathan in the eye with my scarf but anyways...we couldn't find an open coffee shop. So we get on another train!!!! We went to Liverpool Street station to go to costa. Nathan knocked a chair over it was sooooooo funny because its the tiniest seating area. I still giggle about it now. So then we decide to call it a night and me and Judith get on another to trains to get back to uni! So crazy!
So if you've been counting I've been on 12 trains in 3 days!! I'm also going to Oxford street and back tonight with the christian union to this thing called 'One Life'. So that will probably be another four trains and then I'm going back home tomorrow so thats another 3 trains!!! I hate trains. They offically suck!!!
But yeh so thats what I've been doing the past couple of days. I havn't been very happy these couple of days so i just wanna thank all my friends that have been there for me and looking out for me! You guys rock.

Sssssssh!!!

I have the most annoying boy living across the hall from me. He plays the piano! I love the piano alot but he plays it out of tune and he just can't play. I know people need to practise but really hes so amazingly rubbish! He sings about mammas pizza which I first thought was funny but after 3 weeks of hearing it its not so funny anymore. It's driving me crazy especially when im trying to work. The worst thing is if i ask him to turn it down because I'm trying to study he turns it up. Grrrrrr! So today i went into his room and was like really please sssssssssssshhhhhh!!! It's so ear piercing. I dunno what to do. I think there are a few things i could do:

• Play my cornet amazingly loud with my door open and we could have a really loud battle of the instruments! That could be fun but to be honest I need to get some work done and I'm not great at conflict
• I could just ignore him and try to concentrate
• Buy some ear plugs
• Go and smash up his piano
• Hide all his music
• Introduce him to simon white (who runs jazz band) and let him put up with his bad keyboard playing

What do you think? I havn't a clue if anyone has any ideas as to what I can do about noisey piano boy let me know. Otherwise Im going to loose the will to live!!!

From Russia with love

Ok so being a drama student i have to go and see an number of plays. The first play I have to go and see is 'King Lear' ahhhhhhhh! So there is a brief talkabout it in my lecture today. The lecturer is rambling on about this russsian director and how famous he is and saying something along the lines of I love him so that is why you are going to watch his play. Then she starts talking about how amazingly depressing the play is and that it is three hours long. So yeh she was really selling it to me. I start to think about the toastie I'm going to make when I get back to my room. Then one of my fellow class mates asks "I've herd the play is in Russian?" and my lecturer gives a casual "Yes it is". Then I stop thinking about the toastie and actually realsie what she is saying. It hits me. Russian!!! What? Surely not? Oh my word shes not joking. Why Russian? I have no clue. I'm guessing it all comes down to semiotics AGAIN! So because we have no idea what the play is about through the words we have to study the semiotics to get actually work out what on earth is going on. So three hours of complete and utter wah?? I have nothing against russians i would just rather go and see a play in a language i can actually understand. I mean thats just plain cruel. I don't get some things in english let alone russian. it's just plain mad.
Anyways I had a really good weekend. I stayed with Mike and AJ which was lots of fun. We did alot of decorating and I seemed to get more paint on me than on the walls. Ooops. Oh yeah and i nearly broke their hoover. It started smoking!
It was youth councils weekend so we spent most of Saturday and Sunday there. It was awesum seeing all my friends and worshipping God altogether again. We talked about human traffiking again. I say again because we did it last year. It saddened me a bit because I didn't realise how much of it was happening. I think it needs to be dealt with so I am going to speak to my christian union and see if we can get some sort of petition going. I can't believe there are more people being traffiked than there were being made slaves when the slave trade was happening. There is so much darkness in the world today and not enough is being done about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to change the world but I just want to make a difference. I really want to encourage people in my university to help. But before I do that I need to ring Beth and get some laundry done.

On my travels to..........Wickford

Im off to stay in Wickford with my friends Mike and AJ this weekend. Well its a bit of long weekend because I'm going this afternoon. I love Mike and AJ they rock and are like a big brother and sister to me (even though they are married lol). I'm going to stay there because it's youth councils this weekend it would be better to stay there and travel with them rather than going from London on both days and having to travel back and forth on the train and not really know where I'm going.
Talking of youth councils I've gotta have some kind of interview in front of everyone about me starting uni and being a christian. Hmmmm im not too worried but its gonna be ....hmmm lets think of a word....interesting. I have many different views on uni. Its good but very hard for me just because i am very different to some people on my floor but im hoping that Jesus is shining through me.
Today I have been so lazy I've only been up a couple of hours i got up at the wonderful time of 1 pm wooo! Im so amazingly lazy. Laziness is one of my many wonderful talents teehee. Thursdays is a wondeful day because I dont have any lectures and can be lazy ALL day long mwahahahaha!

Semiotics and the Backstreet Boys!

Its official! Semiotics is rubbish! I have never been so bored in a lecture in my whole life. I found out that my lecturer loves semiotics! She was talking about how important they are in everything we do. Yes we use signs to explain stuff and determine things but spending two hours talking about it is madness. My brain actually started to ache!! Then I started to think about lunch to stop my brain from aching and when actually come back to earth shes ramblin about trees and I got very confused :S hmmm. When ever we do a performance she analyses it and uses semiotics to do it. Not all performances are deep. Like for example I was throwing away a towel and she thought the towel represented my soul. Whats that about?
At this precise moment im listening to glorious sound that is the backstreet boys lol! I love them. I dunno why I just really like their music. Ive been listening to all sorts of old school 90's stuff at the moment. The 90's was pretty awesum!
Its so strange being back at uni. I really didn't wanna come back there were many tears at the train station. I was also upset to leave mr. ruffles (my cat) because hes not feeling very well. But after a 3 hour journey here i am back to uni. Im going out with some girls tonight to hear some jazz which should be awesum. Im really glad that ive made some friends and an extra plus is that they are christians!! Yay!
