Leaving Las Leeds, Part One

So I had already finished my thesis and handed it in a whole day early before my ultimate four year deadline (back at the end of September) so that wasn't an issue. What was an issue was money, time and my viva. I managed to hook up a couple of projects in the deptartment so I had a full time job during the day trying to sort them out. I was also workng at a pub down the road in the evening. This was taking care of the money. So my days started around 7:00AM (ok maybe I slept in a little bit and wasn't in uni until 10:00 but lets not dwell on that, bascially I was waking up early) and ending around 1:00AM after leaving the pub. Now this wasn't too bad until the last week and a bit. This is how my scehdule was shaping up, starting from Dec. 1st.

I had been in uni all week working on the projects and worked at the pub Tuesday, Thursday and Friday the 1st. Saturday I played my last lacrosse game (and got man of the match since I finally played a good game) and had a couple of quiet drinks after (no this isn't a lie, it really was only a couple of drinks). Sunday I did some more packing and sorting out my stuff followed by working in the pub. I managed to get most of my stuff packed but not all of it. So all in all not too bad although the lacrosse game was really tiring and I didn't manage to get much done on the packing front.

Monday started off the proper work in uni. The project had to be up and running for a demo on next Monday (11th) and we still didn't have it all worked out. So I was going in to uni with Lynne when she went in at stupid o'clock (roughly 7:30AM) and working all day. Monday night was quite relaxed and nice, we went for a meal in the White House to use up my final coupon. Then Tuesday and Wednesday I was in uni with Lynne and had to work but since Lynne was selling 146 (the house I had been living in) and exchanging the keys on Friday I needed to move out. This meant packing my stuff after work on Tuesday and Wednesday and translated in to only a few hours sleep each night. Thursday was uni as usual to finish off the projects followed by moving the rest of my stuff in the evening. But I had to go back to the pub one more time for a few drinks to say goodbye.

And then came the weekend ...
