Well many happenings in the last few days... where to start, where to start. Last week was nice and busy. I went out on a couple of occasions. Thursday night I went to the bar to meet up for the weekly Couch Surfing meeting. I was really early and as a result had no idea where the group was. I sat by myself for a solid 20 minutes (two and a half pints in beer time) until my new friends Tomas and Alan asked me to join them. :) So I made new friends there who I ended up meeting up with again this weekend. Friday I had every intention of going out but when it's 50 degrees F, and raining, and you'd have to walk 40 minutes across town... you start to think "naw... I'll stay in tonight..." :)
I spent all day Saturday in the library and went out Saturday night. Sunday I went to London to the Notting Hill Carnival. It's the second largest street carnival in the world! Awesome. I got some fun pictures from the day, but they don't exactly describe the feeling of being there. Cajun cooking smells in the air and the strongest bass beats... I swear the whole day my chest was vibrating from the music. It was really a blast. That night we went to my new friend T.C.'s aunt's house for a house party. It was so much fun! Just a big family eating and drinking and dancing. I love that.
We almost didn't make the train back to Cambridge, but we caught one and had another party on the train with new friends.
Monday (a holiday here in England) I did boring things, like laundry and cleaning. In the afternoon I met up with my friend Simon (who's leaving for Vietnam... Have fun!!) to see The Secret in Their Eyes. What a great movie!! (Warning: It contains pretty graphic rape scenes and full frontal male nudity...) It was surprisingly funny and touching though... and completely in Spanish. In case you're wondering, no my Spanish isn't all of a sudden fluent, there were subtitles... :)
I worked hard all day today and tonight I'm heading to Pub Quiz! I hope they don't have too many English trivia, as I will be far behind if that's the case... but either way it's a few drinks with good friends!
Up coming plans: This weekend I'm taking gliding lessons! (look it up... awesome...) I'm also hoping to climb to the top of Beachy Head (as I realized I only have FOUR weekends left!! Ahh!!) Also, I will be shopping for my Oktoberfest costume and beginning the Cambridge Gallon Challenge. Good times ahead.
Jo and T.C.
