mmmmm more rain and chinese take away.....
So i had a rather interesting day today--at least in the current scheme of things. I barely got up before 9am this morning dragged my ass to downstairs, had too much breakfast, microwaved coffee, and after much much searching and inquiry found the lecture hall my supervisor was teaching in and only missed the first 40 mins! It was ALL Steves fault since he had the brilliant idea to give me a bar tour last night.
He took me to 2 really posh like bars with pricey drinks (that he paid for thankfully!) and a really quintessential english pub with the ornately carved woodwork and the little doored booths and all. It was class!
Back to today.... went to 3 hours of Jims molecular evolution lectures, found out i could get stationary supplies from the office, set up an account on the lab puter, AND got me a desk in an office!!! Then after all that excitement (and a nap) i met up with steve again for dinner. mmmmmmm chinese take away! i am learning that when people tell you the british love their chips they are not in any way shape or form joking or elaborating. we go chips with chinese food!!! For the love of god! EVERYTHING comes with chips here! But on the plus side they were good and the chinese food was awesome too! Spicey hot thai green chillie curry and spicey sechzuan noodles yummy. Im so glad steve likes hot food--now i have a buddy to save me from the bland food thats here. He may be taking me to Dublin next weekend so here's hoping we get to go on a crazy adventure! For someone i have just met he feels like a total kindred spirit--so far lets hope he doesnt piss me off. After the first bar last night we were joking and carrying on like a couple of good old friends. I am so grateful as thats the kind of comfort i really need right now; just someone to hang out with, have a few drinks with, laugh and be silly and go on adventures with. There are just some aspects of home i miss so much more than i ever expected or thought i would. But whatever will be will be....
And that is where i get a bit funny. I hate letting whatever will be be. I want to know NOW what the fuck is going to be. I know patience is a virtue but well im getting to be less virtuous in my old age. Oh well....till next time
