The Battle of the Halls!

 - by Hayles

Much excitement filled the university campus today as everyone prepared for ‘The Battle of the Halls’! CCC were of course fully prepared for this event… this preparation had taken form in the lads having a girly night in watching chick flicks and drinking wine, whereas the rest of us went to see the amazing film that is James Bond!

CCC being a small community were seen no doubt as the underdogs in this battle which saw the 8 major halls take on each other in rounds of drinking beans, dancing, and singing to name a few! Our team did us proud as we cheered on the CCC! Starting off in the SU we were confident of our success as we karaoked` to ‘We are the Champions” – greeted by boo’s from Astbury…who we whipped!

After an amazingly fun evening the mighty CCC came 2nd to the bunch of lads from Catherine house! But that means that we go head to head with them in the final…you know who’s going to win!!

Wear that top with pride Steph!

Facebook…the new myspace??

 - by Hayles

I have just discovered the joys of facebook…hurrah something else to distract me from writing about Arius’s view of the person of Jesus or asking the question is Cindy Sherman an visual artist or a performer??

Although at first harder to navigate than the wonder of MySpace, your account is private and it’s a lot easier to upload pics!! So if anyone else has an account please add me!

CU weekend away!

 - by Hayles

I’m sooooo tired…that was evident as I woke up at 8.45 with Gem knocking on my door asking me if I was ready for my lecture, which started 15 minutes later! Oops!

The weekend was awesome! Lard ball, tomato ketchup bum charades, marmite spider’s web and ice cream wide game…O yea! (And then I realised I now have to wash my own clothes…)

We had some amazing teaching which reminded me how amazing God is, and I’m soooo excited about the things that he has in store for me and just getting into a deeper relationship with him! My desire after this weekend is that he will teach me how to listen to him, and that I will be in tune with him and his heart. (Just thought would be cool to share that!)

Christian Union is an amazing thing and such an important part of being a Christian at university, which is why it shocked, upset and angered me was to get back and read about all of the problems that the CU’s at Edinburgh, Birmingham etc are having from the Student Unions. I don’t know exactly what happened at the Uni’s but I do believe that they are being discriminated against. When did this country suddenly decide that Christians aren’t allowed to express their biblical beliefs?

Feeling Chestive!

I have a confession…I am very strong in my opinion that anything Christmassy should NOT happen until at the very earliest the 1st December, however I have failed myself this year as I let myself be carried away with the festivities in Chester last night. I chanted for Santa, sang a Christmas song, got excited about the Christmas lights and brought and drank Christmas tea. I am ashamed. But it was very much fun!

That’s the tree below…it’s beautiful! I’m now off on a CU weekend away…hurrah!

It’s been a while!

Okay, I know, I haven’t written a post for ages, so thanks to gareth for keeping you guys updated with posts so much better than I ever could! The reason for no post is a mixture of not having access to internet as visiting people with no such means and then having nothing to post about! It’s been reading week, so I’ve been reading hard…Marie Clare is a big magazine to get through! I have visited the wonderful places of Coventry, London and my amazing home town of Ipswich! and seen all my fabulous mates…who I’ve missed!

Just to let you know what I’ve been up to…if you care…I’ve got a few things I’m going to post about…but I’ll leave that for another time!

Super Heroes!

 - by Hayles

I have deecided that the best thing to dress up as is a super hero! I reverted back to a child last Monday when Steph, Gem and Myself transformed into Super Steph, Queen of Bling and Hayze!
