So the update this time includes my trip to Nottingham and Bristol. I did a sort of triangle in the last two weeks! The week also included another week of college which wasn't too bad!
Nottingham first though. This involved a 2 hour train trip up to Daz and Karolina on the Saturday! We wandered around the place which is really nice and much smaller then London!! Karolina cooked us a really nice chicken dinner too and I'm still standing so she didn't poison us :) It was delicious Kar! But we did proceed to poison ourselves with the drink. Matt (the lads house mate), his girlfriend and a friend of the lads from Uni was the gang. We had cookies supplied form Jen (the friend) which were yummy. Ring of fire then sent things downhill!! N'ham was a blur from the random small pub we went to that reminded me of Cape Clear where I insisted on making everyone tip the nice barman to Rock City where my pink shoes turned black! It was a great night though full of scandal (Karolina....) and drunken ATM trips in the club! It didn't end there though. We met people "from" Cavan and other parts of Ireland though their accents were very deceiving....everyone wanted to be Irish in N'ham it was like Paddy's or something! I happened to get a little lost too on our trip home. We got into a taxi which was fine but upon leaving the taxi I managed to lose everyone and start walking home. Turns out I was going the wrong way but Daz came and found me! Hangovers the next day were awful for the lads but Daz made us a fry which was amazing!! The best part of my weekend came when I was going home 1ST CLASS baby!! :) Some how the cheapest ticket back was 1st class. I wasn't going to complain! It was lovely, I thought I could never go back (had to though :( ) but was great while it lasted!! The weekend was epic and thanks again lads for having me!!
My week of college was good. We started labs which were boring enough. We just isolated gDNA which was practically made up for us already though and our classes weren't great either but that may all change soon. They were very genetics based this week so it was easy for the geneticists (or genesis :) Western Cottage folk). My class and I went out to the local pub in East Acton for a day drink which was a nice old man's pub but went to the longest student bar in London on Thurs fivesixeight (or something weird like that). It wasn't thaaaat long but the drinks were pretty cheap. I stayed until the end (like any good Irish would!) with my Polish and Costa Rican friend. We drank out of a viking horn towards the end of the night which was pretty cool!! Hungover the next day for class wasn't good buuut I then got to.....
Go to Bristol! Man those people speak so funny!! It's hilarious, Emmerdale and that farmer-ish accent is all I can say. Lesley couldn't make it and Erin didn't come in the end so I headed up on Friday on the train (not first class) but had a great time on that from listening to the 73 year old pig farmer who culls 200 pigs a day (in a great Bristol accent) to the boy from London who bought Nuts and Loaded because they came in a bumper pack together though he really wanted FHM but he thought more value and was just going to look at the jugs until Bath (I'm not making this up!!!). Met Kate then and we wandered around Bristol, up, up, up, up Bristol. There are a lot of hills!!! I forgot my camera so there are no photos I'm sorry. We had the most fantastic fat night though on Friday as we were both hungover. Dominoes pizza nom noms and Amish documentaries and Scream entertained us. On Sat it was raining. But thankfully it cleared up just as we went to go pick up Michael from the bus station. We then headed to Nandos!! Yes I do have a problem and yes I did get my free half chicken. Roll on the free whole chicken!! I heart Nandos a lot! The three of us then started to get ready and played pick up sticks as we had no cards! Kate looked so pretty!! But she deleted the photos of herself....red dress, black tights with the black line along the back and black heels. She had her lips really really vamp red too so she looked awesome! I proceeded to cut my hair after the first bottle of wine. Thank god I knew then to stop though and it was only my fringe...I think it still looks okay. So Kate lives with 14 other people if you don't know and her house is actually fab! All the people are really nice and are really friendly! She had a huge turn up due to her crazy Chinese class coming who brought her a bottle of Baileys that didn't last that long going around. We headed to Mbargo (I think that's how the stamp spells it) where shots were polished off! It was a crazy night were I ended up getting emotional for some silly reason. We managed to get food after the club which I decided I didn't want anymore and then tried to pass out on Kate's bed but ended up on the blow up with her teddy so all was good. No hangover for me today or Kate which was fantastic! Had to get the bus home which was a far cry from 1st class but wasn't too bad except for the lateness on getting into London. Overall though Bristol gets a 10 stars too! Thanks again Kate for a fab weekend.
This week I don't have as many plans except making my Halloween costume which I won't tell you about as it is really nerdy and I want the photos to do it justice! I will remember my camera I swear!! More lab pracs and Thurs drinks at the Union again! Must find me a job too, money is running out! Part time jobs are scarce in this area. If any one wants to come to London for Halloween or is around pop in or we can meet for coffee or something mature and adulty. Think that's all my jibber jabber for one night. Time for some Downton Abbey! Bye lads xx
