Jenny Caroline Leggott's diary

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Was my first thought this morning when I inevitably woke up....but that was reference to a rather bizarre dream I had involving a boat, a holiday camp, an octopus, a rucksack and almost drowning - RANDOM!!!

WAHEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Is more apt for today though as it sees the launch of the biggest Union event so far this year: The Societies Takeover!!! With the event starting at 7pm, myself and the team have just over hours to pop together the final touches!!!

So what's happening?

In Via Lattea there will be an open mic session where you can chillout to the soothing sounds of acoustic music, bongos, poetry readings and some hip-hop rappers too!

Upstairs in CO2 will be a feast of the best DJs Pompey Uni has to offer - hosted by no other than our very own Unsigned Talent Society

LUX will be the main room of the event - it is here you can witness our amazing Big Band, see your fave Sabb Officers and their Execs battle it out, see sets from 3 massive bands and party away to the early hours with our DJ 

If that's not your thing - then try or debating sessions (7-8pm or 9-10pm) in Function Room 1 or head to our games room in Function Room 2 where you can challenge your mates with the giant Jenga!!!

So much time, hard work and energy has been put into this event and my thanks goes out to everyone who has helped put this event together (It'll take far too long to write everyone's name down!) - so everyone pop along tonight and help make it happen!!!

If societies did parties, they'd probably be the best parties in the world!!!! AND THEY ARE!!!!!!

See you tonight party people!!!!

Luv Jen -x-x-x- 

Phew!!!! What a week indeed!!!

I've been a right old busy bee this week, trying to cram in as much as possible...but paid the price in the end - doh! Unfortunately, I'm having to write this from my sofa where I'm still recovering from a bout of rubbishy asthma - grrrr!!! But hey that's life!

The Weekend

The girlies from the polo club were at the SUPA National Indoor Polo Championships and it was awesome!!! Both our beginners and novice teams played well and ultimately finished in 12th and 8th place in their division respectively. We also got to see several chukkas in the Open Division - talk about super fast!!! I was tired just watching. It wasn't all hard work though and we managed to unwind with a couple of parties too.

 

 

Monday

Start of the new semester - how exciting! So was a day full of getting things sorted really with a couple of meetings thrown in. Then it was time for rehearsal for the production of 'Once A Catholic' that is being performed on Friday 15th & Saturday 16th Feb!

Tuesday

Funkin' it up with some drama rehearsals for the final year project for 3 hours - tis very tiring ya know! In the evening all us drama peeps went along to the Enterprise Challenge Awards where all three of our final year theatre companies had entered Stage One of the competition. Unfortunately, none of us won (well done to all those who did!), but it was still great to see everyone properly dressed up!! Then it was time to pop home and prepare for the inevitable carnage tomorrow which was...

Wednesday 

REFRESHERS FAYRE!!! I was up bright and early and helped set up the RAG stall before popping off to a lecture. By the time I returned the fayre was in full swing. I got talking to loads of interesting peeps and enjoyed learnign about all the different societies and clubs our Union has to offer (don't worry if you missed it - you can find all the contact details of all our clubs on www.upsu.net). Then in the evening (no rest for the wicked!) more rehearsals for Friday!
