Carnival!
Woo! I'm so excited coz I'm going home for Castle Cary carnival today, and I can see all my family and stuff. I know I've only been away from them for a month, but I'm so happy to be going home.
I missed out on going to Ilminster carnival last week because I can't afford to go home for every single carnival.
I guess there are quite a lot of people out there who don't really understand what I mean by carnival. Basically, its like these huge floats covered in lightbulbs, and they have loads of people dancing on them and stuff. Somerset is like the only place in the world where we have illuminated floats, esp in the winter, as some seaside towns have them in the summer to promote tourism and stuff.
I love Carnival, because its all about nostalgia. Its the same routine every single year, always has been since I was a child. We always go to the fair first.
And I get to see my cousins and grandparents again.
It looks like its going to be typically cold, hopefully not raining weather.
Anyway, Im away for the whole weekend, so I get back down to Exeter on sunday night, then I have lectures on monday. Ooh fun.
Oh yeah, I found out where Im going on my hospital placement: Truro. So I get to spend the whole of the summer down in Cornwall by the sea, and Matt, my housemate is gonna be down there again. It's gonna rock.
