i feel like i have been such a slacker
so here goes
last thursday night i'm sitting around the dorm and i get a call from gwen saying that she's out at ruby's lounge and that i should come and hook up with her
soooo i go
on the way i get a call from scottie from san antonio... he went to trinity with me for those in the know
and i walked back to waterloo and got him and his flat mate matt from the station and we all walked to ruby's lounge
we all hung out there for i guess about an hour or two
i drank a half pint of hoegarrden and just really didn't feel like drinking any that night at all
but i met gwen's friend nader and he's really neato
his mom is spanish and his dad is iranian nice person all around
well we all get tired of that place so we all hightail it down to cubana
i LOVE cubana.
it's a cuban themed place that after 11 am they start playing live salsa music. and you can dance around and what not.
soo we ended up staying there until umm abour 2.
scottie got completely drunk which was humerous and i ended up getting introduced to a guy that is literally from alamo hieghts back in san antonio but going to college in england
he was nice and we commented on how it was a small world after all.
i drank about 2 mojhitos there.
really good drinks with mint leaves and i think rum and sugar.
i liked them.
however i was the sober susan of the group.
gwen wakes up the next morning completely hungover
i laugh and point. i felt great. but then i had drank almost nothing
sooo friday i get up and go down to camdem market with charles
cause he had never been there
for about 20 american bucks i ended up with
a neato indian silver chain belt
neon grean leg warmers
black arm warmers
neon green fishnets
black fishnets
the rest of dad's b-day gift which will arrive late i'm sorry
HAPPY B-DAY DAD!!
hard to beleive i'm older then my dad. but i am.
and.. i found a little braclet that said cuba on it for gwen
yes. i'm a great shopper
it was great.
well we leave and i get motivated and i organize all the kids at my school into going out on firday night
sooo we all get dressed and head out to a dance club called yates.
it was GREAT!
we all danced and drank.
i will admit i drank quite a bit. however i didn't buy any of the drinks
so blame them.
robin ended up coming out
and everyone loved him and thought he was the funniest thing ever
he was our token brit of the night
he ended up saving me when i was walking to the bathroom some guy grabbed my butt and rob saw it and told the guy off
i thought that was really nice of him.
the guy ended up buying all of us a round to make it up to us.
which i found kinda funny
so we all poured out of the club at around 2 or so and began the walk home
i was wearing silver high heels and my feet started to hurt so i promptly stopped walking, gwen with me and we whined.
rob bought me and gwen a cab ride home and we rode home in style
how nice of the boys
gwen and i poured into bed and woke up at around 1 in the afternoon on saturday
gwen had a date with mr. big that night soooo she was frantically getting ready i just kinda watched and she gets dressed and she runs out the door.
in my stupor of happiness i get a call from gwen saying the date was going horrid and if i would run down and just hang out and stimulate conversation
i said sure thing
sooo i get dressed and run out the door only to get half way there and have gwen tell me that they are going to a concert. i'm like great
but she says she'll have nader call me
which he does
and i end up meeting him and his roomie at the warwick
we order fatty foods and just talk politics
which was entertaining because nader's roomie is british and wants to be a doctor.
sooo that was neato
and i was happy because the warwick was the first place that we had been to that could make a ammaretto sour
i was in heaven
but i was pretty much sober the whole walk back
and nader walked me which was nice of him to protect me from getting jumped again.
sunday i had a dinner to go to as well as work on a project that was due monday.
so i get up earlier and get dressed.
rob's mom was making a giant english dinner for like 20 people and such and i was asked to attend as the token american i guess
so i get dressed.
nearly get pickpocketed on the train platform thank god for a girl that saved me and pushed me onto a train
(we ended up reporting the guy at the next top)
and i get into uxebridge at around 3 or so.
i take over rob's computer while is mom cooks and finished my project.
we all eat and let me tell you it's GREAT!
it was beef, and brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots and leeks, french apple tart, home made gravy, yorkshire pudding.
i was in heaven and she promised to show me how to make yorkshire pudding because i'm in love with the stuff.
sooo i end up leaving and coming back sunday night and get back into my dorm at around 11
i had a great night
i met alot of random people.
i wake up on monday with a 103 fever.
i feel horrid today!
but i suck it up and stumble to my class and i give my presentation and am awared with an A-.
which i'm exstatic about considering from what i hear. the teacher doesn't give a's.
so i'm sooo happy.
after the lunch break i'm waling back to class and my teacher stops me and directs me to the nurse who takes my temperature and then promptly directs me up stairs to bed.
my fever was too high.
so i ended up sleeping for about 3 hours. gwen came upstairs and rooted me up and made me come back down stairs because the nurse wanted to talk to me and take my temp again.
i'm still at 103
but they made me eat and they gave me some drugs and they want me to move around so i convinced them to let me get on the computer for a bit
they complied.
so now i'm sitting here.
but i think i'm going to go back upstairs now
i'm feeling all woozy again.
love you all!
btw:
dad: you're b-day gift is coming but it's going to be late
stupid royal mail.
spring: i got you some angel delight. how many packets do you want
i got four.
but i can get more
chris: i'm sorry i wasn't able to go out and look for hostels today. i was too tired and i'm sure the nurse would have tackled me before i left the building
love you all.
