THE STORY OF THE SUMMER BALL.
(Edited by me. Boring bits not included.)

I got ready for the ball at Zosh's last night. There is still no hot water in my house. At least not until tomorrow. By then, we will have been without hot water for seven days. I wore a pretty dress, and makeup and everything.

Just before 8:00 - after James had taken some photos, & we had shown Paul and Karen our outfits - we trooped off up to the Great Hall.

We started off by sitting in the Ram Gardens with 3 pints of Pimms and lomonade between us. By the time that we went for drinks, there were no jugs left, so we had to have 3 pint glasses instead.

Within 45 minutes Zosh had been asked on a date.

Later, we went inside, & listed to Collin Murray dj-ing. He was good. After that, it was time for Supergrass. They were great & we were right at the front. The disadvantage of this was that we did get pushed really hard. In it's turn, this locked my knee; so, Zosh and I had an expedition to the St John's Ambulance post. They were great. They took me to A&E in an ambulance. The ambulance was fun. I didn't really know whether to laugh or cry though. It was hilariously funny, but I was in so much pain!

At A&E, I got to have gas & air so that the doctor could manipulate my knee to make it move again. That hurt a lot. It moves now though; however, it is painful.

After A&E, Zosh & I went back to the ball. At 3:30am, we had full english breakfast - though not as good as James'!

For the Survivors' photo, Zosh, Jen, Tessa and I were right in the middle. It was great.

After the Ball, I went back to the Chaplaincy. Zosh went to bed, but I was going to sit downstairs with coffee & read a Terry Pratchett book...I managed 3 lines of it. The next thing I knew, it was 8:00, & I had to get up to go to work.

I went to the doctor today, like the hospital man told me to. I was told to make the doctor refer me to a physio. He wasn't keen on that. He also told me all I've done is pull my hamstring - I'm not too sure. I think it's my knee. Ah well...

Soon, I get my exam results. I'm very tired, & falling asleep. Possibly the best way for me right now...I'm very nervous...
