Reading Week Part 1

This week happens to not only be my brothers birthday, it happens not only to be the week all my brothers break up from their half-term holiday and go back to school, but it also happens to be the week I temporarily take a break from University to work at home instead. Funny that...

So welcome to Reading Week, the zaniest week in the University term.

To start the week off, let's talk about the past weekend. Saturday was, of course, my brother Andrew's birthday. We lounged around in the morning and afternoon, taking a break to open presents. Then we went to lunch/dinner at Pizza Express, and finished the evening out with a bonfire and fireworks display.

The bonfire consisted of a 45-min walk around the village (not the one where I live thought) holding torches, led by a marching band, which of course we didn't take part in. Once the people had returned from their walk around the village, they all gathered around the bonfire and lit it with the torches (which by that time had a nice Guy Fawkes on the top). This was followed by a great fireworks display, which included themed elements and a whopping 250 fireworks fired all at once which literally lit up the sky.

After that we returned home and finished the day off with a movie of Spiderman 3.

Sunday was a day where we just simply stayed at home, and I played EVE Online. EVE Online is an MMORPG with a difference (they all mostly are, aren't they, lol) but EVE has a single living vibrant server and the most unstructured way to play ever. You are basically put into this living world, and told to go on your way. What you do from there is up to you! (I intend to become a trader). Brilliant game!

Monday was spent doing very much the same thing, except I also did some Java work for work and did a little of an assignment.

Until next time!!
