Woke up to find Mother Nature sniffling and sneezing. [cue loud long hollow "NOOOOO!!!!!"]
It's the beginning of the cold week. It's all very fair here. The sun gets to shine for one week, then the gloom gets its turn to settle in and rain us in for another week. The MSoc committee are all on their knees praying (almost impossibly) for sunshine next Friday, or else there will be some very drenched and cold graduating seniors at the farewell picnic in Hyde Park.

Yesterday I pulled the most expensive rope at the high price of 4.30 pounds! At our great president's call, most of the MSoc comm bought a 4.30 quid ticket to travel all the way down to Canada Water to participate in the UKEC traditional games. And of course true to Murphy's law all the traditional games were cancelled. Except tarik tali (tug of war or literally 'pull rope'). So, to make the most of our ticket we pulled rope. And lost. Which wasn't surprising seeing the number of girls on our team and the absolute lack of girls on the other team. But we held on for an amazing half a minute. Go IC girls!

Have to get my butt out of this chair and get dressed. The first thing on my schedule today reads - Go to High Comm. for Supreme Council Meeting. Must go make some coffee. Falling asleep in front of the High Commissioner might make it on my list for most embarrassing incidents yet!
