I have to ask: did you slurp it from the side or pour it straight in to your mouth from the spouty bit? Whichever, that's hardcore tea consumption.

The spouty bit. I was just too lazy to break out the teacup. When I do that I have to pour myself three cups to finish off the pot, every time measuring out enough sugar, etc. It's just pure laziness. However, I have discovered its fun. I even tried mixing Koolaid in the pot. (A success!)

I cannot agree more with these, only in my case, the inability to have any kind of flame in my dorm. And the others speak for themselves. And the skip thing... oh dear.

-Realising that wearing braces and a waistcoat that you still wear despite putting on weight, are not practical to wear through a three hour lecture.

-Walking past Chavs at six in the morning, while they are binge drinking on the steps of Asda car park, repeating the phrase 'It ain't Halloween Yet Mate' expecting a reaction of some sort. Do they not see the walking cane that is probably much harder than their heads?
