Fear not for the excitement of blogging hasn't quite worn off yet, though with it being a bit of a busy week I couldn't find the time to do anything but stare at equations that although I've spent the best part of the last seven months being taught all about I still couldn't tell you what they were or what i'd use them for. The life of a student where due tomorrow translates to do tomorrow.
Anyway enough babbling some news first, I am a tenant... again! Though the contract was signed a few months ago, last week was the official seal was placed on the deal by having our first meal as a house. And what better venue for such an occasion than all you can eat chicken wings at the world famous Hooters. Now as an admirer of leg and breasts of any variety finding me and my three other male house mates in Hooters on a Monday was not an uncommon sight whereas for my housemate Sophie it was her first time and judging by the picture below I think it's safe to say that Hooters now has a new regular.
Sophie shows her appreciation
Now that the news section is over let get down to the real business. So on my desk at home I have 3 litre bottle of vodka that is now about a quarter filled, no university hasn't turned me into a raging alcoholic where water has become substituted for alcohol. No this bottle I picked up empty from work and it's a quarter filled with a mix of coins that I have found lying around on the floor. And I think the vodka and the pennies are a good way of representing life.
Now you may ask what on earth does a vodka bottle filled with coins have anything to do with life? And it's a good question but the way I see it, The vodka bottle is our memories and the coins represent our experiences. So we when are born our vodka bottles are empty as we are yet to have any experiences but as we go through life and collect the coins our experiences start growing. And for the majority of the time we'll find 1 and 2p coins, everyday thins which in the long run we may not remember but every now and again we may come across a 50p or even a £1 coin, things in life that will make a bigger impression. So for me it would be something like my first gig or first pay check, a memory that was big for me at the time and something that I won't forget but not life defining or changing. And then very rarely might you come across a £10 or £20, big events which mark significant milestones in your life.
Now everyone would wish, me included, that we could find £20 every single day but the whole reason that finding that £20 is because its a rare event, that doesn't happen often so has an added special feel with it and adds to the whole event of finding. And if we kept finding £20 it would make the memory which should be a massive event not so special, we need the pennies there to give us perspective and show whats really important and what means the most in our lives.
So I say appreciate the small things in life because without them you won't be able to appreciate the bigger things and if you are someone who actually does find £20 all the time then you need to get in contact and tell me your secret.
Until next time,
Ash out.
