My Pillows and Handbags

Tags: Claude, York, Flickr, My Things, Shopping

I’m feeling materialistic lately.

First off, there are the pillows. If you saw my room before you would notice very little in terms of pillowage. The pillow was the one provided by the university, and thus shit, to be honest. So I bought pillows. And napkins. Napkins?? Yes, napkins. And at £2.33 apiece from Marks & Spencers, throw pillows. A couple of hours later and a grand total of £3.29 per, I have amazing pillows, a prettier room, and neck support for when I sleep. What a concept.

Then there is the bag. Do you remember my obsession with trying to get the perfect laptop bag? Well, I decided I needed a good black purse. Walking around York with Ros, I found one, though at a price I wasn’t willing to pay. Days later, after emails and posts trying to find out the style name (”Horizontal Stripe” by Radley) and stalking online shops and eBay auctions, I found it. It is perfect. Amazing quality, A4 size, perfect pockets, classic style… More pictures on my flickr.

My Crab

For those of you who haven’t had the priviledge of meeting my crustacean friend, Claude, here is a quick photo introduction. I met him in Seattle at the beginning of August, and we haven’t been separated since. [more photos]

My York Photos

Tags: York, School, Flickr

This post is a cop-out. I’m not much into writing for my blog right now, but I’m more than happy to supplement with photos from Flickr instead. Partial apologies.

Feel free to make comments here or on Flickr.

My Arrival, In Pictures

Tags: Family, York, News, Food, School, Flickr, Friends, Shopping, Travel, Events

[Because things have been so hectic, here is merely a quick rundown of the past week is the best I can do for now! Lots of pictures, and lots happening enroute to my new home in York!]

Day One - Food and Departure

Too much food! Dim sum with Bachan, Mom, and Daniel. Claude decided to head over to the aquarium and got up close to some of his relatives. Off to see Patty and to ship boxes! (THANK YOU!) David cooked more food for dinner. Get squished by Daniel and David. Off to the airport with Mom and Dad.

The Flight - More food

Hop on the Globespan plane - aisle seat, last row. Line up for the one functioning toilet is noisy and inconsiderate, meaning no sleep. Safety instructions in Icelandic. Free wine! And more food which makes me unimaginably full. After letting people off at Glasgow, I get a window seat for the highlands. And landing at Manchester Airport.

Day Two - Landing in York

Take the train from the airport to York - nice scenery and musical fellow passengers. Finally get to York station from where I can see the Yorkshire Wheel, which I’ve yet to visit. My luggage and I somehow get to my empty room! Sure it’s a dorm, but Wentworth is pretty nice - block C from the outside. TONS of waterfowl on campus which for the short meantime I love. I find my new home at the music building where I pick up my enrolment pack.

Day Three - My First Trip to the City

After thirteen hours of sleep and a fire drill, I make my way into the city for the first time - the River Ouse. The streets are amazing - I can’t believe I live here, but quickly am so tired and frustrated with having to set up that I stop taking pictures. Clifford Street. New flatmates Ros and Kai. Then me, Demitrius and Ros at Wentworth Karaoke. My room set up, with new bedding - the stuff that was supplied was utter crap!

Days Four and Five - Settling in

More incredibly tame birds on campus. I’m eating well - see Mom? The first thing, the postgraduate welcome, mostly just emphasizing the fact that “we’re people people”. Chicken bacon and smoked cheese sandwich from Krusties in town. My first peek at the minster, but I’ve more errands - no gawking yet! My new mobile, which has been the cause of some problems.

Day Six - Back again, with Ros

There’s more things to pick up so I go into town with Ros and can’t resist the Minster. Amazing foot traffic. Our first fish and chips is yummy! A peek of Clifford’s Tower. The room is getting there, with a reading light! (It’s such a fiasco without one!) And the famous Miquelrius notebooks - I FOUND THEM. Oh, and Ros is a stationery freak, too.
