Mmm, sausages. Niiiice.
Why does fast food taste better in here than back home, anyway? You would think it wouldn't be so - Mexican 'fast food' (tacos, enchiladas, basic cenaduria stuff) are so popular and cheap that fast food really can't compete with it unless it's pretty decent - and it isn't, not usually. And yet, McDonalds doesn't suck nearly as much in the UK. HUH. I went out for coffee with my 'buddy' today (we're all assigned a Leeds Uni student to show us around a bit). She studied in my city last year, so we bonded over our missing tacos, haha. She has crazily awesome stories - her friend dated PETE DOHERTY. I mean. Pete Doherty, wtf. And she met him and she says he's a mess. Which. Not really surprising, no, and she's also met Gael Garcia Bernal quite randomly. I sort of want to be her when I grow up, lol.
I had the most awesome class ever today. It was introduction to textiles and I THOUGHT it'd be something like 'Here, people, this is wool!!' or something like it, but the teacher's a chemist, so he just kept blabbing on about the chemical composition and molecular diagrams of synthetic fabrics and I made starry eyes while the rest of the class despaired. Have I mentioned I wanted to study chemistry (so bad) when I was in high school? I REALLY like chemistry, even though I haven't taken it in like, three years. EEK, SO COOL.
And then me and a bunch of people were SUPPOSED to go ice-skating but the line was too long, so we went to a pub instead. And then I had bangers and mash for the first time! MMM, SO GOOD. SO, SO GOOD. I do love food, if you haven't been able to tell already XD And then we went to OTHER pub, haha. Good times, good times. But everyone's leaving for Liverpool tomorrow in a day trip I was too late to get tickets to, so I'll be all alone, boo. I think I'll do laundry? And catch up on the bazillion shows on my hard drive. Yeah.
TELL ME, what other British foods do I just HAVE to try? (that don't have fish on them. Or egg. Er. So I'm a picky eater, say what?)
OH, AND mon_starling? I'll be in Edinburgh on Feb. 14 and 15, will you be there at that date? Say yessss.
