I have been talking a lot about my time over here, but I am wonder how is it going over there? Seriously, email, message, post me, I am interested in everything! And I just like to talk to people, so let me know whats new.
I guess since this is my blog I should probably keep you up to date on what has been happening over here. This post might not be long, or very interesting but I will do my best not to make you fall asleep during it. I guess I should start with where I left off and continue with Saturday. After the long bus ride home I was tired and ready to just snuggle up in my bed and do absolutely nothing! Of course, that is exactly what I did after I made my supper; pasta with seasoning, tomatoes & mushrooms. Delicious! Yes mom, I am somewhat expanding my taste buds...but not much. :) When supper was finished I decided to upload my photos and then to settle down and finish reading a book. Gotta Love Reading.
When I woke up the next morning I was not happy that it was still raining. Yes, I did know that it rained a lot over here, but I wouldn't hate it so much if I had the proper rain gear (aka boots) that way I can jump in puddles AND not get my jeans wet. There is nothing more I hate than wet jeans... and socks. There was an upside to getting up and going out in the rain and that would be that Steffi and I were going to do an English Breakfast then go SHOPPING! Up to this point in time I had only had 1 typical English breakfast (see previous posts about that) and now we were going to try a different breakfast place. We chose a little Lounge type restaurant and ordered our meals. Steffi had the traditional English Breakfast and I had the Eggs Benedict. Let me say, they were scrumptious. :p Enough with the Breakfast! As soon as breakfast ended we continued to the mall, we were going to walk the whole way there but like I said I hate my jeans being wet. Therefore we caught the bus the rest of the way. When we reached the mall I had really no idea what I would find for clothing here, I have a very different style than people here do. Figure that. As we started going through the mall to different shops I knew I was in trouble... I DO NOT LIKE THE CLOTHES! Its bad when I can just stand in the doorway and see absolutely nothing that I would even consider wearing. I did however go into a few to actually look around and found 1, yes 1 shirt. It was a simple one colored long sleeve shirt that is carried in normal shops. Boring, but that is me... in a way.
When shopping time was all done and my one purchase in hand we went to the Tesco to buy a few things. I won't bore you with all the items that we bought, so I will just continue on when we got back. That night was going to be a good one, it was Ronald's Birthday Party! Now it doesn't happen very often, but we did party on a Sunday :) Actually everyone else partied, I just had my one drink and then socialized.
I guess since Sunday is now over I shall continue on with Monday. Monday does come next...right? Well even if it doesn't I will just say what happened. Don't hold your breath its not much. So Monday, I got to sleep in because class doesn't start til 3:15. :D That is my very happy face, just a fyi. It does get better though... So Monday is my Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael class, and even though I am in slight love with my professor, (not that kind of love) but after our lecture (which I didn't follow too well, he was all over the place) we a wine tasting. Yes, after every lecture he is going to bring in a bottle of wine from the region that we were talking about and let us taste it. I don't exactly know the whole reason behind it, but I'm not complaining. Now, it is ok for you to be a little jealous of me (Erin if you read this, I would consider this class just for the prof and the wine). That is basically all the awesome things that happened on Monday. Well maybe not, Adam did keep us very entertained for dinner. I had eaten earlier than Catherine and Adam so when they were downstairs I came down to talk to them. Now this is when it gets good. Adam was learning how to cook potatoes, fine right. Well I need to mention that he cooked 5 potatoes! Yes 5, for one person. We really need to teach that boy how to have a balanced meal. Although his potatoes looked like they were cooked perfectly, he did put on this awful smelling sauce on top (not a good idea he found out). Nasty.
Now that all the good stuff is done I shall move on to Tuesday. I unfortunately had the wonderful pleasure of having class at 9:15, however I also like this professor so it wasn't bad. When class was finished I headed back home so that I could go get groceries for the week and for our family dinner that night. Catherine was cooking; Chicken Pesto Pasta. Anyway, after I got the groceries I went next door to help Svenja make scones. I love their scones, so delicious. After they were baked we all (Svenja, Audrey, Petra, Myself) sat around the table and ate them all. :D When the scones were all gone and homework had its calling I left to go do just that... Homework. Actually I couldn't exactly call it homework, I was just taking notes on my own (that way I knew what the heck was going on in class) Once I felt caught up enough I gave into my urge to go online shopping. That is the way to shop! I found these really cute ankle boots that will go perfectly with my skinny jeans. I also found this cross body bag that I am in absolute love with, unfortunately the company doesn't like my card because it keeps erroring whenever I am on the final stage of buying it :( Major downer... Looks like I will just have to go to the actual store. Finally 8:00 came around and we started dinner... Actually Catherine did it all I just grated the parm. cheese. What happened next you ask? Well we had our family dinner :)
What a day! So I will finish with Today, Wednesday. A wonderful day in my opinion... A day of no school for me :) So as a day with no school I got to sleep in, I did however have to get up so that I could go to breakfast with Svenja. We have started an English Breakfast Wednesday group. So if you don't have class on Wednesdays at 11 we will be going to a different place each time to get an English breakfast. Today, since it was raining once again, Svenja and I just went to the same place Steffi and I went a few days earlier. Not regretting it one minute, it was as delicious the second time as it was the first. When Breakfast was all over we sat in the restaurant a while longer and I taught Svenja some words and meaning on 'Cars'. Each week we will take a subject/topic and she will ask questions and I will answer what the English words/phrases are. I feel like a teacher :) However, we did eventually run out of things to name, so we continued on home. I had to go to the Student Union at 1 to try and get a ticket to Newcastle next week. Ticket... Check :) When I got back I started on some more notes and then Svenja, Petra and Audrey came over so I could teach them how to make Banana Bread. I have a feeling we will be swapping a lot of recipes while I am over here. Not complaining. I guess I will continue on with the day. Once they left from the baking lesson I went back upstairs and booked my train ticket to Glasgow. So excited to go, it will be a great Girls weekend! I also started looking into other places to visit... I think we are going to go to Barcelona :) That would be FUN!!!!!
I feel as though I have just told you my life story with all that I have written. Ohh well, better to be informed with everything than a very vague detailed week. Sorry with some of those previous posts. I can definitely tell when I have time to write and when I am just wanting to go to bed/or out with friends. Whoops. So until next time, GOOD NIGHT!!!
