Well, didn't think I'd be so busy today! Got up 10:30ish and decided to try out the shower. Man it is bad. There's hardly any water pressure, which I can live with but it, on a regular basis, changes from boiling hot to freezing cold. It is pretty awful. It was so hot when it was hot I felt like it would burn me so I had to press myself up again the wall. Not good. Somehow managed to survive, got changed, had breakfast, met Ellie in the kitchen, exchanged thoughts of the awful shower so after breakfast I went downstairs to reception to write a complaint in the book. Though something tells me it will be a miracle if they ever fix it. Fuck. Ellie said she was going into town to get some food bits and invited me along so I thought, fuck it, why not, it's a lovely day.
We met Ralph downtown who was trying to get his bearings, poor guy haha. We found Lidl which may now be out best friend for food from now on, dodgy German food but food none the less. Ellie brought loads of veg for £3, winrar. We then found 99p store right next to Lidl, I needed scissors so we went and had a look. But did they have any? Did they fuck! The only pair I could find were for cutting hair :/. 3 pairs of scissors and a comb for 99p. Fuck it, I thought, and brought them. Though I got IDed for buying damn scissors! Thank God I had my passport with me! Jesus do I look like a crazy bitch who's going to go round stabbing people? Okay, fair enough...point taken! Ellie didn't need anything else so we walked back, had lunch, took out the bin bag together, checked for mail, nadda, went back upstairs to retreat for the BBQ.
I didn't end up sitting around for long, poor old Bossman had started chatting to me again then Ellie had knocked on my door saying some bloke she met off the facebook middle mill (the halls I live in) group had called her and invited her down to the Space bar and to bring any friends. She asked if I fancied it and I thought why not. So I showed her how to get to Space (the main student bar) because she didn't know, I also showed her where she had to enrole on tuesday. We got there, she didn't remember what he looked like, we sat there nervously thinking it could be anyone of these guys. The bar was full of guys. The Man U VS Man City football match was on you see! Though Ellie said they were playing pool which narrowed it down to two people. She thought she knew who it was so we walked over..."Are you Alex?" she asked a guy who looked a little older than us. He said yes and said hi to us both, he also introduced us to his friend Warick, unusual name, dead easy to remember. Oh and guess what, Alex is an absolute nutter (I think it runs in the name y'know). We also met a really cool French guy called marcellius (not sure how you spell it!), speaks amazing English, puts us all to shame, love his accent too. I really love the French language/accent.
So we walked back with this group of guys for the BBQ at 4pm. BBQ was good, free burger, chicken and water (shame it wasn't beer!) and great conversation and people. They had a performer there who did some kinda cool circus type tricks, tried to get us all spinning plates, meh, boring. There was also a giant jenga and connect 4 set which I didn't play. There was a local radio station there which played decent music, chart stuff but not bad but the woman who was trying to chat to people and stuff was SO annoying. She was annoying up the point where she walked up to a guy with her microphone and said "What's your name?". He responded "Please don't talk to me", classic! Unfortunately for him, she was persistent! I met lots of different people there too, not all of them stuck out for me but we met and American girl and it was interesting to talk about the differences in her country and politics and stuff. Really, really interesting.
The BBQ got quite boring after a while, we left a little early and went back to Rachel and Ralphs again for a little bit before we decided to go back and sort out our stuff before going to this supposed pub crawl. Spoke to Alex on the phone again for a little bit, telling him about my day and the wide variety of people we'd met (including crazy Alex who wore a red wig to the BBQ and then left it on alllll night, funny guy). We then headed out soon afterwards to Knights bar where they were having a karaoke thing going on. Such good fun. Matt was so drunk he let me and Ellie choose a song for him, we chose Hit me baby one more time! And he did it! People LOVED him for it, shaking his hand, saying he had balls (talk about pointing out the obvious :P), etc. He was so drunk though he went home before 10. Not even kidding. He's a massive lightweight, think he threw up as someone was walking him home. Oh dear, he's going to feel so bad in the morning! Alex was trying to get as many people as possible down to our local pub, The Cocoanut, so we went along, sat down with Lewis (another great guy, kinda reminds me of the Janitor from Scrubs but on drugs or something...he's very...jittery but fantastic), Warick, Alex, the french dude, Rach and Ralph. We had some VERY strange conversations, something about the size of dicks and Rach said something like "Us women don't want our vaginas ripped in half". Alex had his mouth wide open, it was so funny how she came out with that! Warick seems to be a bit of woman hater, is a bit bitter about his ex and was saying that all women eat mens hearts, etc. Though I think he was largely joking!
When it got to about 11 we left, me, Ellie, Lewis, Rach and Ralph went back to Rachs' again! We hung out there for a bit, had some laughs, Rach was so pissed and Ralph was practically falling asleep so we left at 12 to let them go to bed and to get some rest ourselves. Except me who's stayed up for an hour writing two whole blogs. Enjoy! Haha. Course meetings tomorrow, thankfully the first one is at 12:45. WIN. Though it means I finish at 4. Boo. But then, pyjama party baby! :D Can't wait, shall be a laugh :).
