the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee
and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted
to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've
played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed.
I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.
PHOTOOOOOS! Took dav on a walk around my campus. The buildings are totally concrete jungle. So ugly :( But the lake and all the landscaping is really pretty.
me and dav on campus. whee!
MUSHROOM! Reminds me of my ALevel art project.
Carvings on a tree stump. The route I take to school almost every day.

This is called The Quiet Place. Really.
In The Quiet Place. It's absolutely lovely.
Heslington Hall - part of the uni but it's admin so no one goes there :( Pity cos it's so gorgeous.
Seeee told you the uni is full of ducks.
Then we took the bus to the city centre to SHOP :) I spent 109 pounds and I feel very accomplished cos I haven't shopped for almost 3 weeks. (it's a feat okay!) Here's photos of the city centre.
This is a damn nice soap shop called Lush. Handmade stuff that smells heavenly. Apparently they used to have a branch in sg but they shut! boohoo.
I really don't know what this is, but it's lovely
How the shopping district in York looks like.
Sunset off the river.
Again
Yet again. Sorry it was toooo beautiful to resist.
YUP. It was a goooooood day yesterday, not only cos I bought so much stuff but also cos I managed to drag myself out into town after cooping myself up for so long. I promise I'll not buy anything till London on the 15th. I think.
