Can you believe that the week is already over and it is Sunday? Where did the time go! Since I last left off not too horrible much has happened but I shall still tell everything that DID happen. So no better time to start than on Tuesday.
It started off like any other normal day here, woke up early and went to my favorite class. Yes, Tuesdays have become my favorite day of lecture. I can't say how much I love this class, from the professor to the topic, however the people could be more talkative. That is why I love my Mondays and Fridays, very talkative funny people :) Great, now I'm off topic, back to Tuesday. When I arrived at my class I had a talk with my professor about my finals, we decided that I will take them before I leave to go home. Whew, one less I have to take back home! Once class was all over I headed back to my house to get a package to go to the post office. I unfortunately had to return the ankle boots that I ordered, they were a wee bit too small, figures. So I rounded up my package and headed out. It is about a 15 minute walk to the post office and thankfully it was a beautiful day out! When I got to the post office I had to buy tape to tape it all up. Yup, they won't tape it for you... So I bought the crappiest, cheapest stuff I could find. If anyone in Hull needs some crappy tape let me know, I will gladly let you borrow it! Anyways, after the package was dropped off I went to the fresh produce stand to get some fruit then across the street to get a few groceries. When I was all loaded up with everything I needed I headed back home to do whatever I felt like. Now, understand that I don't have really any homework to do, so being bored out of my mind for a few minutes I started in on researching for my 5 minute speech. Now I am done with it, and a full week before it was due! Whoop, go Laura :) Later that day Catherine invited me to have Tacos with her and her friend Sinead (friend from Canada who was here for a few days) When the time came I went downstairs and help create our masterpieces, and masterpieces they were. :) Catherine had bought a taco kit at Tesco and lets just say that the shells were a little stale, but they were still good and messy; just like a Taco should be! When the dishes were all cleaned up we went back upstairs to get ready to go out later. We were going to have some friends accompany us to Sanctuary (on campus bar) to have a drink.
Wednesday came right on schedule and that meant it was time for our English Breakfast routine. This time Svenja couldn't join us but Catherine, Sinead, Steffi and Myself went and enjoyed it for her. We went to the same little place that we went to the last few times, but that's ok, it was still delicious. I tried the traditional English Breakfast, not as good as the first place, but still good. When the plates were cleared and our bill paid we headed back home. Catherine had class, and I had to go shopping. As I headed off to the City Center I knew exactly what I was looking for and what I needed to get. I really wanted a new purse, and I did find some really really cute ones that I want A LOT!!! So I got off the bus at the Princes Quay Mall, which is not the best mall but it does have Primark and I discovered this cute little shop that has some neat bracelets. After wondering through the mall for a little while I headed out to the Discount store to get a few things for the house. And of course once I checked out and left I remembered that I forgot to buy the one main thing that I needed! Figures, but I wasn't going to go back just for that one item, I would make due without it. After I finished with the Discount Store I needed to exchange some money that I had, I also needed to withdraw some money. Unfortunately, the Post office and supermarkets are unable to withdraw cash from my card. Sad day! But I did call the company and paid my 8 pents a minute talking to them and trying to figure out where in the world I could get cash. 'ITS MY MONEY AND I NEED CASH NOW' haha, sorry that just popped into my head. So after about 5 minutes on the phone I was cut off due to bad reception! Doesn't that just make you angry! Well it did to me so I of course called them back and got a much nicer lady, she was actually very helpful! When we figured out the problem, which I was panicking for awhile about. Apparently I have to go to a special machine that accepts not just VISA/ MASTERCARD (what I have) but they also have to have the little symbols on the back as well. Thankfully there is 1 bank that has those! WHEW, thank you HSBC! Since I needed Cash I went on the hunt for that Bank, and when I finally found it I got my much needed Cash. :) Enough with that little hurtle, back to the day. So after I got my cash I needed to find a place that sold suitcases. I knew that House of Fraser was having a sale, but man were they still expensive! So I went across the street into St. Stephens Shopping Center. Good thing I did too! There was this luggage store that was having some big sales, and were they some good prices! I found this cute little blue bag that was originally like 65 pounds and I got it for 29. Is that a deal or what?! After I bought my bag I headed back home. After that I don't remember what I did, if anything. Hummn. Ohh well.
Thursday was like any other Thursday, nothing really happened. I went to class, which is my new least favorite, not that it is bad or anything, but I just don't enjoy it as much as the other two. You will have that. We started class of by watching the opening to Gladiator, after the first fight scene he turned it off and started in with the lecture. I was very disappointed when he did that, I love that movie! So of course when I got home I went online to watch it. After the professors lecture we had a 10 minute brake to go get something to drink/bathroom and to figure out who was going to be in groups for our presentations. My group is doing a presentation on Bath, hopefully it will be easy to find information on it. Since nothing else happened that day, I will move onto Friday. Actually thinking about it, nothing happened on Friday either. Hummn. I do recall doing some homework and watching a few movies. Other than that I am drawing a blank. It happens ok! :)
Before I say anything let me say that YES something did happen on Saturday. We went to Newcastle, hence the title for this post. Thankfully we did not have to get up at 6, but got to sleep into 7. That was nice, but we did have a 3 hour bus ride as well. I really do not like buses, they don't have enough leg room and are quite uncomfortable. But once we got to Newcastle it was all worth it.
They had so many bridges here, and they were are very unique in their own way.

I don't know what else to say about Newcastle other than it was a beautiful city and that everyone should go visit there. Definitely worth your time.
Today is Sunday, and a relaxing day it is! I woke up at 10 and just relaxed for a while. Later on I made blueberry muffins (minus the muffin part...again) But we did have a mystery on our hand. Where is Scooby Doo and his gang? Last time I went to make the muffins we were missing one of the cake pans, now today we are missing the other one! Where they are is beyond me, I looked EVERYWHERE! I looked in every cupboard, fridge/freezer, storage cabinets EVERYWHERE! I don't know what is going on and where they would be. Hummn. But the baking must go on! So after the muffins were baked, cooled, and frozen I went upstairs to finish this lovely blog and edited some more photos. So with no more left to be said, Until Next Time!
