Happy Birthday Maria!
Had a lovely time celebrating the birthday of Maria - a friend and neighbor!
The best part was that I only had to go down two doors to get home

Celebratory dinner with the girls at the "fancy" restaurant on campus before partying it up at the Copper Rooms (the campus "club") until the wee hours of the morning
And yes, the air quotes were necessary

Some of us went to Oxford for a day out and to visit the lovely Emily
We had Chinese for dinner

We went to Birmingham to celebrate Kena's birthday (the cute young lady with short dark hair on the right)
Sahil surprised her with everyone coming to dinner and she almost ruined it by keeping wanting to try different restaurants instead of the one we were all waiting at! Ah, the stress of being in charge of a surprise!
The food was amazing and the company was awesome

Happy Birthday Katherine & Becky!
Esther, Katherine, and Becky making their 'crazy' faces...
So this has been a wild time of birthdays (six in two weeks)
I think I'm good for a time - the next one isn't until the end of July

Kung Fu Panda outdoor movie event
Good times with friends, even if it was really chilly
Apparently because it's the last week of the 'term' they are having all sorts of stuff happening on campus
Don't people realize that I have a dissertation to finish before Monday - they are making me too social!

I told them to look like they actually liked each other (they were sitting next to each other looking like strangers)
Allison claimed she had just seem a fly trying to land on her food - but I'm not buying it ;-)

Enjoying a shisha pipe with friends
(Not me - I've recently made the conscious decision to never smoke anything)

Allison and I went to Ikea and found their summer outdoors stuff - so of course we had to try some of it out
Why the trip into town you ask?
She didn't have exact change for two singles for Anni's birthday breakfast so she bought a day saver and we decided to go wild!

Concert #2 of the Week: The Fratellis
Got a free ticket to a band I'd never heard of and found myself at my first ever British Rock Concert, it was an educational experience
Things I learned at tonight's concert
- Young drunk people are annoying, old drunk people are pathetic
- I don't like getting crushed in a mosh pit, even if the view of the band is better
- Beer belongs in cups, not flying through the air and raining down on me
- I am completely okay with standing with the older crowd in the back of a crowd if it means I have some personal space
- The Fratellis are pretty good, maybe I should listen to more of their music

Imagine Dragons
“He considered music a liberating force: it liberated him from loneliness, introversion, the dust of the library; it opened the door of his body and allowed his soul to step out into the world and make friends.”
From The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
On the advice of a friend when I was still back in Minnesota I set myself up with a playlist for my time in England. She does it for every trip she takes so that any time she hears a song from the playlist she's reminded of that experience. Now, I don't listen to a lot of music but I when I do I really don't like ads and I find most pop music extremely annoying after a few goes around. Thankfully I had just fallen in love with two bands - Of Monsters and Men and Imagine Dragons. Both semi-known, but not famous, bands (If you haven't heard either, check them out. I still enjoy listen to my mix seven months later.) So I downloaded their albums, as well as a few other songs, and headed over the pond.
