I literally can't believe it's Friday again... the week really does go by quickly when you go out to the pub with your friends every night lol.
After classes on Monday, Jo, Bri, Kelsie, Zoe, and I went on an adventure to the beach. It was a gorgeous walk through the park by the river Don, and the beach was absolutely amazing. There were some really cute pictures taken during the walk and at the beach. The best ones are Bri, Kelsie, and I standing in the freezing cold water lol. We were the only ones crazy enough to get into the North Sea in mid-October. I definitely didn't regret it, not even during the long walk home with sandy, wet shoes and socks lol. Later that evening we all went to Union Bar, but it was a pretty quiet night so the guys and us ended up randomly playing some badminton in the dodgy little gym by the pub. Jo and I were on a team together and we were pretty fabulous. Apparently I hope a little on my right foot when I hit the birdie and people were laughing at me. They were just jealous of my mad skills lol
Tuesday was an interesting day. My lab was a complete fail, but I am convinced that it was because of the apparatus set up. The system definitely was not sealed, otherwise how else would pressure decrease with increasing temperature??? Lol but it kind of turned out alright because I just got to copy the data for my results so I basically just spent like 3 hours playing with dry ice, liquid nitrogen, and mercury. Woo! I was really looking forward to karaoke, but it was cancelled for some reason. That was slightly disappointing, but singing was to be found later that night at South House with the guys and a guitar. So that was a lot of fun.
Wednesday was a crazy day full of all sorts of errands all over town. It really wasn't a very noteworthy day, except Johanne and I made tacos for dinner! They were absolutely delicious... but they kind of made me miss home which was strange. I also helped decorate Bri's flat for Halloween and that made me sooo excited for costume shopping this weekend!
Classes kind of flew by on Thursday. I did pretty well on my lab write up, which was quite exciting. But I definitely was just looking forward to cooking pasta with my flatmates and quiz night the entire day lol. I practically made the pasta sauce, and it turned out really well. I was very relieved that Johanne, Mina, and Toni liked it. Red wine would have been a better drink to have with it, but from my experience the cheaper red wines here just taste like vinegar. We made do with our nice Cawstone Manor box wine. It reminds me of Franzia lol. Our two gangs came together West Side Story style at the Union Bar, and we kind of ruled at Quiz Night. It was hilarious, especially when the Americans had difficulty remembering the American trivia. Who knew that JKF wasn't actually the youngest president of the US?? We all are convinced that the team that won cheated... wankers.
But today is Friday again. It is definitely shaping up to be a good weekend. Tomorrow we are going to start shopping for our Halloween costumes, and make our Harry Potter t shirts for Kelsie's birthday! SO EXCITED!
