Life and times of a chem student let loose in bristol

so in my 1st post i said i would use this blog however i see fit so..

A little insight into the wonderful world of a chemistry student in there final week before i head back to the 'shire and return to the other side of the bar.

Last night I finally succumbed to the Chem Society christmas party shindig (amongst other societies). A nice big group (6 coaches to be precise) ventured west and landed in Bristol in Oceania.

My first thoughts on this trip where to get very drunk 1. as i havnt really been out this term due to touring the country in search of a placement and the main reason im at uni - work, and 2. its a big club so theres dancing and personally not my choice in music therefore drinking allows me to dance and forget theres crap ruining my ears.

So the drinks started at about 6pm i finished my bottel of vodka then was handed a can of strongbow not wise, as i forgot how dry strongbow is. Then we got to the bus station for our coach and began to drink some vodka orange my friend had some how acquired. This was followed by the obligatory pitcher of Cheeky Vimto (Port and blue WKD) in weatherspoons.

Now this is where the fun starts i go the toilet and return to find the pub empty and everyone had decided it was time to venture to Oceania, which not being there before i have no idea where it is, luckily just round the corner. Once inside a find a few people and then was presented with a bottle of magners. This goes down rather nicely and then i was presented with another. At this point i was making conversation with people i had been introduced to and then decided to mention i was looking after a bottle of vodka for a friend in which he had forgotten about, so it seemed it was going to waste until the genius idea (at the time) was to mix the two by adding the neat vodka to our nice bottles of magners.

I think its obvious to say it went downhill from there on, fast forward a few more vodka magners and hours and well we got back on the bus missing a person. ( He later turned up at his house after being not allowed back into the club then wondering bristol for a few hours and then decided he was best getting a £40 taxi back). We eventually arrived back in bath at around 2.30ish which was then followed by a rather chilly walk home in the opposite direction to everyone else. I forgot about this small fact and soon regretted not taking headphones to sooth my ears after the onslaught of club music. However i made do with the speaker on my phone and blasted out some songs, the only one i personally remember is Comet Gain - Record Collection, this is due to the fact that i believed i could play this on my imaginary guitar and proceeded to prove myself right. So if anyone saw a 19 year old female walking through Bath at 3am on their own drunkenly air guitaring along to music, i apoligse.

So things i learned from my trip to oceania:
1. oceania is massive
2. rather tricky to find anyone
3. vodka then cider is wrong
4. vodka mixed with cider in the same drink is extremely bad
5. dont keep telling people u dont like muse as you dont make friends that way also confessing to a love of radiohead & sonic youth doesnt help things either (esp. when people dont know them at all)
6. Air guitar is fun
