Birthday Celebrations/Exciting News!

Today is 26th October. How the hell did that happen? This month has flown, and now the day's are getting shorter, the night's are getting longer and the weather's getting colder.

But let's not get into that. Far too depressing.

Quite a lot has happened since I last wrote so it's most definitely time for an update. I am a year older since my last post, as it was my birthday last weekend! Two of my best friends came down to visit and we had such a brilliant few days together. We went to the zoo (an obvious choice if you know me well enough), failing to forget that it rains on my birthday every year with no exceptions. It's a slight understatement to say that it was 'muddy' at this zoo, but it was a great little place with loads of animals and a lemur enclosure which you could go in and let the lemurs jump all over you. I also held a snake round my neck, which I was pretty proud about, but I drew a line at the tarantula.

We went to Nandos in the evening, which is a given for any occasion. My incredible housemates surprised me with a big chocolate birthday cake and sang in front of everyone in the restaurant - it was slightly embarrassing but lovely of them all the same.

The next night was the party, which had an 'N' and 'K' (my initials) theme, so each person had to dress up as something beginning with N or K. There were some fantastic creations; we had nerds, a Nan, a Native American, a newborn baby, a ninja, Noddy, a nymph, a New Age hippie, N-Dubz, a nun, a kitten, a king, Kermit the frog and an incredible looking Katie Price...and I was a nurse! We had an amazing night, got very drunk and two of my housemates met Fatboy from Eastenders. Success.

And I'd like to finish with some exciting news - I have recently been appointed this year's News and Current Affairs editor of my University newspaper, UNIfied! (Follow us on twitter at @CCSUUNIfied - cheeky plug). The next edition is expected to be released in a couple of weeks so everything is going to be a bit hectic but I'm looking forward to it being finished and all pieced together.

Enjoy the rest of your October, it'll fly past you before you know it...
