Today I woke up late and bummed around until I decided to track down the local Asda. I chose Asda because it's part of the Wal-Mart family and the other stores I've tried have all been grocery stores. I don't need grocery stores, I needed a store that sold a multitude of plates and a few notebooks for school and maybe some Q-tips. I found all of those things, plus a few extra things like Tupperware and feminine products and Uncle Ben's rice. Took the bus back because my bags were heavy and I wasn't carrying heavy bags forty-five minutes back home. Rode the top level again. I might never get used to that.
Bummed around some more and got annoyed at the Internet because it was being slow and unhelpful. Then I made a bowl of soup for dinner. Manu came in as I was eating (which seems to be a pattern) and then my neighbor whom I've never met came to experiment with the kitchen I guess. Her name is Mattie and she's from York and she said she's actually quite scared of Uni but she's getting used to just diving into it. I think I'll knock on her door if I'm randomly going somewhere and need a buddy.
I almost blogged at this point. Almost. But I wasn't sure because it wasn't even eight and there might be something else that would come up. And come up it did.
Oscar texted me about a delicious dinner in the kitchen on his floor, so I went to see what was going on and it turns out there was a small group of people eating together. I met Francy from Madison (yeah!!! There must be much bonding here), Denise from Denmark, Lynn from Luxembourg, Joe from Birmingham, and Drew also from the UK. They're a great group of people. We ate dinner and drank two bottles of wine, a 2 liter bottle of Strongbow, and a small thing of vodka. And then we thought we should have more. Drew wasn't with us the entire time, but he was there for some of it. He didn't eat any food, but he played some games with us. Francy taught us some Madison games and we played Bullshit and Spoons with a deck of cards Oscar had lying around. Oscar got pretty drunk and tried hitting on Joe, who's straight, but Oscar liked making him uncomfortable. It's funny to watch.
Then people started going to bed and Oscar, Drew, and I hung out in Drew's room for a bit where we just sat and chatted. And I just got back to my room and wrote in my journal before I remembered I didn't update my blog. So here I am, officially announcing the end of my day at 3a the Monday classes start. My first class is in 12 hours. I'm not really scared of it. It sounds remarkably similar to Comm Arts 350: Intro to Film. I hope it's kind of different, just so I can get credit for it.
And now I'm off to bed.
