Busy week

Heck I wasn't that busy but I was actually.. This was my schedule, there were a few more addition to the events lined up.


Those are basically the essential stuffs, the additions are the extra-curricular you can say, from Ecosoc and guest lectures.


The flowers above was taken Thursday I think. Cause we finish at 3pm that day so I decided to have a walk around campus and take some photos of the flowers blooming. I wasn't that interested at first but Mom and Dad wanted to see them since it's spring - yes people, it's already SPRING!! :D The start of life after the harsh cold winter :P lol


The scary looking alley has that barred door on the left.
It was really weird to find this right in the middle of nowhere, the Goonhilly Heathland area. It looks like a cell ruin. That's what I heard at least. I didn't have the guts to actually go in a bit deeper to see the cell room  if it really is one. To give an excuse for myself it was a dark alley and I was wandering around there all by myself - got a bit bored waiting for the demonstrators to identify the grasses, so I went for a little walk.


We went to the Lizard again for our weekly field trip on Wednesdays. Maybe I should've put these pictures first before the flowers to go by date but oh well, am too lazy to change them lol. It was such a sunny sunny day! But the winds of course won't change. We were supposedly gonna be able to see some Choughs - a black bird that had been successfully been reintroduced there. But we only see Jackdaws and Crows, which are also black birds, so it was kinda frustrating. Our demonstrator Paul decided to do some 'Chough sight hunt' and a small group of us went with him to go over the area where they are nesting. It was quite a walk - a HIKE to be exact. Bad news was we didn't see any Choughs, not that we actually reach the breeding site since we don't have that much time before heading back to Campus. Good news was I get to see more of the Lizard and I got some photos for my collection :D And we were told last Friday that the deadline won't be end of March, but end of APRIL!! YAY!! I was stressed as I won't have enough time to make my collection pop out if the deadline wasn't changed. I hope I'll be able to now.

And then yesterday, I went to Penzance for the Marine Life rescue Training.


Bubbles - the fake Dolphin
posing as lookouts lol
Calm sea, good for dolphins - you can barely make out St. Michaels Mount on the left horizon
Releasing Bubbles back into the sea

It was AWESOME! I didn't know what to expect really. It just sounded interesting at first so I signed up for it. It was well worth it! I also bought a wetsuit specifically for this, for 20 quid lol. And to sum up the whole thing, we were given a certificate for the completion of the training. What more can you ask?? Excellent day it was. To make it better, Shamsa's dad came to visit last night as he was around europe for some business so might as well pop in here for a bit, and he took us all out for dinner at an indian restaurant called Asha restaurant in Falmouth, which is really sweet of him. I wasn't gonna go cause I was a bit dizzy from the cold sea maybe but I took some panadol and deal with it lol. Had some 'chicken Tikka' and 'nan breads' with curry, yum~ No regrets there. He's only here to visit for a bit. He already went to London this morning but it was nice to meet him last night.

As for today, me and Santi will have a walk to Swanpool and the Pendennis Castle :D And the weather looks promising. So yeah will update again soon-ish. Got a test on Tuesday and no class on Monday - time for revision, I know it's a last minute one again but I did try the mock exam questions so it'll be alright ;) Adios~
