Today, Thid Floor became no more. Never again will we grace that corridor as residents, this year is well and truly over. But what a year it has been. To try and reminisce would be pointless, as to do the year any justice would take far too much blog space. 1000 posts could not accurately describe the amazing things that we i have done, friends i have made, lessons i have learnt and ways in which I've grown. So instead I'm going to talk about bourbon biscuits...hmmmm yum yum, you've gotta love a good bourbon biscuit.
No seriously, a whole blog on biscuits would be way to crumby, in the same way that a blog about stilton would be overly cheesy and a blog about pistachios would be nuthing exciting to read. I guess (to return to a rather forsaken point) that i am a very different person now to the person i was this time last year. University seems to consist of roughly 10 years 'normal living' experience condensed into one year! So what now? well it is with regret of course that i wave goodbye toThid Floor and slowly unpack for another 3 months, but also a realisation that looking forward, change is not a bad thing. It's a very difficult thing to let go, to step out and embrace change when we are comfortable, but it is through change that we grow, and i strongly believe next yearwill be equally amazing as this last year has been-if very different.
I leave you with two thoughts which personally i think say a lot about our journey through life
The road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the road has gone,
And i must follow if i can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say
-------------------------------------
There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under the Sun.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to rebuild,
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak up.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace.

Hello. Good blog. Missing everyone already, it's weird to be home. Yes, bourbon biscuits are nice.
Hooray for wireless internet.

Open up my eager eyes.... cause I'm Mr Brightside...
Its playing now.
Damn.
Loving the wit tim! Good words...
Isn't that a lord of the rings quote? Oh dear i am a geek. Anyway missing everyone loads and i agree next year will be great!
was wondering who would be the first to recognise the LOTR quote! It's actually a song from LOTR, written by Bilbo Baggins.
i love those quotes.
Technically, I believe it's also from the Hobbit.
Also, have to point out that you may randomly be reassigned to the same floor if any of you choose to live in again.
You know you're on holidays and back home when your blog gets 7 (now 8) comments...
It's a sad but true fact of life.
But Andy...It won't be the THID floor...and you won't have all the same people!
I also have to point out that Katie saying next year will be really great is taken by me as a personal affront.
Not really, but I like the word affront. Word of the day!
My word of the day on Sunday was 'proboscis'. It worried my friends. As does the entire concept of having word-of-the-day-post-it-notes on your door. I'm a misunderstood artist.
wow! welcome home everyone! Is it worrying that i seem to talk to some people more when im home than when im at uni? lol. Not quite true but it can seem that way!
Don't take it as a personal affront. I'm trying to deal with the loss of the Thid Floor in a positive way, doesn't mean i wont miss you...after all who will correct me now?
That doesn't make much sense to me. But then again, you are very small.
Best EVER Lords of the Rings quote by far.
Yes Tree beard (one word?)
