Karaoke!!!!

This past week has been kind of insignificant. My classes are going well and I've been having a great time with everyone here at Aberdeen. So far I've really been liking my Arthurian legends course and the tutorial was great fun. I wish I had that class more than once a week though, it could definitely take the place of Vikings! That class really hasn't improved much at all, but it really depends on the lecturer. I finally have a tutorial for it tomorrow morning, and the readings were interesting so I'm hoping it will go as well as my Arthurian legends tutorial went. I really like having smaller courses and more one-on-one time with the professors and that really doesn't happen here except in tutorials.

Tuesday night was loads of fun because there was karaoke at the union bar. I totally rocked it, too lol. All day monday and tuesday I couldn't think of anything else besides going out tuesday night and singing karaoke. I kept talking about it with my flatmates, so they ended up coming out as my "groupies" and supporting me lol. I'd never sang karaoke before, but I must admit that I loved it! I sang three songs, lol I was that type of annoying half-drunk girl who insists on singing more songs than she should. But apparently I sounded really good and everyone had a good time dancing around the stage and everything so it was fabulous. At one point I was dancing with Jo, Bri, Kelsie, Tara, and a bunch of other people, and I had put in my request for paparazzi like 10 minutes before, so when the DJ announced that Lydia was going to sing paparazzi I kind of freaked out and screamed "That's me! I'm Lydia!" lol. After I sang paparazzi people were like high-fiving me all over the place and saying how awesome I was. Two people actually pulled me aside to tell me that they thought I was great and "their hero" for going up to sing, but I think they were just being weirdos for a laugh. But singing karaoke was amazing and it made me feel fabulous! :)

Wednesday was pretty laid back until I went on the biggest grocery excursion of the century with my flatmates. My tutorial went really well and I did some other random work. Then around 4:00 Johanne, Mina, Toni, and I decided to make an intense grocery list and go to an actual grocery store in town, not the little discount one near our flat. Everything was going great, we bought our bus tickets and promptly went to the top of the bus and sat down. It's very exciting to go to a real grocery store and get nice quality meats and vegetables, so we were really looking forward to this quick bus ride into town. However, we were not expecting the bus to quickly drive in the opposite direction of town to the middle of a development where the hospital is. For some reason, none of us thought to check which bus we had quickly boarded, so we ended up going nearly the full route of this random bus which took approximately 40 minutes. Lol it was good for a laugh and since we bought an all day pass we kind of just rationalized that we were seeing more of Aberdeen... but by the time we finally go to the Morrisons we were famished so lots or random food was purchased lol but it all worked out, especially with Johanne making a Norwegian supper involving smoked salmon, shrimp, eggs, and bagels. Yum :)
