Does Chuck Norris have a pez??

This week has been completely taken over by essays... it's been pretty awful.

Monday I spent a lot of time in the library preparing for the Vikings! essay. I had a chemistry tutorial then lecture, and those were both pretty boring. I actually just blogged during my chemistry lecture lol. Then I went back to the library and worked some more before my Arthur class. I actually really like my Arthur class, it's really interesting and the reading is always exciting. After class, I visited the girls for a little while and had a good time watching Bri and Kelsie make different face in hole pictures lol. A lot of them were really hilarious, especially the Twilight type ones and the punch lines with them. Bri of course made a picture of me as a gorilla. That was to be expected, but it was still pretty startling lol. After hanging out in Bri's flat, my flatmates and I made a rather large dinner. Lola and Bart came over and we had a really great time eating and exchanging puke stories. Lol for some reason we always talk about those type of stories, and they are absolutely hilarious. A little later in the night, I went to union for the quiz night. There were literally only like 5 other groups playing, but it was a lot of fun. We had a pretty vulgar team name again lol but it was a lot of fun. We were actually winning at one point! The film and movie round was absolutely amazing. There were Bambi ("flower"), Saving Private Ryan, and Spice World references, so we dominated that round lol. And during the geography round there were a ton of American references. Ronan Wallace definitely did that on purpose. Bri screamed when they asked what the capitol of Pennsylvania is lol. But somehow in the end pretty much one person from each group had to chug the yard of beer. I think the bar people did that on purpose lol. So Kelsie decided that she would take on for the team and do it. Everyone was cheering her on, even one of the bar tenders said "I hope she finishes it". All these guys had gone before her, but none of them could do it. And then Kelsie gets up there and downs it like a BOSS! She didn't even take a stop! It was AMAZING! Lol It was just so perfect how she didn't spill any on her and she just put it down like it was the easiest thing. Everyone was way excited for her lol. But we wouldn't have let her do it if we thought she couldn't finish it. She's just that awesome :) 

But what wasn't awesome was going to the library at 10 am for the Vikings! essay. It was absolute crap, actually. It took way too long to write, even though I had all my sources and stuff organized. It was just really difficult to write something that I could not care less about. Catherine joined our group too so that definitely made everything a little more fun. Especially, when we watched Regi Dances to Mamma Mia when James was present lol. At one point when Kelsie and Zoe went to their tutorial, Catherine and I were waiting for them to get back so we could go eat. James said that they were gone for a really long time, and I said "their probably eating, dicks". However, the comma wasn't really voiced, and James said "their eating dicks?" "No! There was a comma in there that just wasn't annunciated" lol. But that was definitely the best part about Tuesday. It was just a crap day since Vikings! took over my life. I didn't get home until like 9:30, but it was nice to talk with my flatmates and just relax. And then I literally crashed. 

On wednesday I turned in the most shite essay... it literally was awful, but oh well. I'm glad that I got it turned in before my Arthur tutorial so I could enjoy that lol. After my tutorial I went to the library to work on my essay, but I just ended up staring out at the North Sea, pretending to be productive lol. So then I just went home and laundry and those type of things, AND I convinced Mina to have ogreten for dinner lol. She enjoys laughing at how modestly I ask her to make the potatoes and gravy, but she made me cook it this time. It was a lot of fun to make and everyone seemed to really like it lol. Everyone kept taking pictures of me cooking, since they all know it was my favorite dish lol. The word was added to our Bulgarian dictionary, and it's defined as "Lydia's favorite dish". They all loved my systematic cooking lol and it was great to talk about the impending risk of cholera lol. To celebrate finishing the Vikings! essay, I went ot union with Kelsie, Bri, and Zoe. It was really great when all the south house boys showed up, too. We had a lot of fun talking and hanging out, like how we did in the beginning of the semester. Except now that we are a lot more comfortable with each other we talk about the most hilarious and random things. And we feel like we can steal each random objects of each others, like Andrew's wallet. Honestly, I really love everyone here. They make me feel cared for and awesome, even when I literally look like a troll lol. It's always so funny when you literally look your worst and then you end up seeing literally everyone and their brother. I totally called how I would see everyone I knew, but I really didn't care. My band t shirt and jeans made playing badminton later a lot easier lol. At least this time no one made fun of me for hopping when I hit the birdie. We were just playing for the fun of smacking something around with a racket. Overall it was a really great night, even with the drunk flower and creepy Steve hovering around lol. 

Thursday morning I met Bri in her flat before walking to uni. She really is a noisy gremlin lol. She was having a really difficult time preparing her "tomato" soup (really hot ketchup soup). It was very entertaining to watch, especially at 9:30 am lol. We walked together to the Meston building and then I had my inorganic lab. That was actually a lot of fun this week, too. There are 2 other people in my lab group and we had a great time working together and discussing everything lol. Lab is so much less stressful when the other people are as confused as you and you all just talk about it. I especially love how everyone kept talking to me about Thanksgiving lol some people actually celebrate it here! That was good fun to talk about... and also I enjoyed complaining to the lab assistant about how the amount of pipetting I've done here is actually shit. Lol but what I really love is how nerdy some of the guys are in my lab... the guy in my group said "it's SCIENCE" and it reminded me of all my nerdy science friends in Wooster lol I nearly died. I skipped my other lectures after lab in order to finish my Arthur essay, but I really ended up procrastinating lol. I hung out in the kitchen for a while, listening to music with my flatmates and helping cook. A Moulin Rouge song came on Jordan's ipod and I literally freaked out lol I tackled Johanne and kind of screamed... it may have been a little of an overreaction, but I was very surprised. Everyone made me go back in my room and write my essay lol. I eventually finished it, and it was an alright essay. Much better than the Vikings! one, but that wasn't a great feat at all. I took a little break to go over to Bri's flat and hang out with everyone while she opened her birthday package from home. I forgot how much I like tootsie pops and miss slim jims. Oh american goodness. I eventually finished my essay and then went to union for a little bit. It was race night so everyone was gambling (for charity lol) on a bunch of horse races lol. I didn't stay for long, though. I was literally exhausted from all the essay writing. 

Friday I didn't end up going to my Vikings! tutorial or lecture. I slept in and got some other things done for my essay and lab write up. I sped through my lab on friday and got home just in time for friday night date night! Kelsie, Zoe, Bri, Catherine, Lindsay and I went to dinner at McDonalds and then saw Breaking Dawn at the Vue. I love how classy we were going to McDonalds, and on the bus to town we were talking about Twilight and Jacob and Edward like 13 year old girls lol. People were definitely judging us harshly. But that was ok, because I would have judged us too lol. We had a really good time out, though. The movie was pretty ridiculous. I thought they did a good job on some parts, like making Bella look like she was literally dying. But other parts were just pulled out of the blue for no reason. The dialogue was kind of shit, and Emmett was punching werewolves all over the place lol. I cried a lot, like an idiot lol. But a lot of the book is very sad, and I had just read it a few weeks ago. I just love Jacob Black so much. Literally I can go on forever about how much I love his character. Some funny observations about UK cinemas are how you pick your seats and the adverts before the movie literally make NO sense. You will be sitting there, watching it and wondering where it's going. It's kind of hilarious lol. After the movie, we all had a good time commenting about it. Apparently there was a rule that every time you cry, you have to take 3 shots... I got at least 24 shots. That was the times that Kelsie saw me, too. I literally freaked out during the wedding scene when Flightless Bird played. It was so sweet how they brought that song back. I grabbed Kelsie lol and after the movie when we were talking about how perfect that was I literally pounced on her. That song will always remind me of her. And randomly finding hamburgers in my purse will always remind me of Bri lol. After we got home, I went back to my flat since I promised Toni, Mina, Johanne, Jordan, and the Bulgarian boys that I would go out to Exodus with them. I definitely got a warm welcome when I arrived at my flat, to say the least lol. Pretty much everyone screamed (except for the boys) and said how happy they were that I made it back in time lol. It was a pretty good night out, actually. I learned a lot of Bulgarian lol all the Bulgarians were impressed with how well I can speak it. George told me that I was "born to be Bulgarian". Basically because I'm good at the language and I don't get drunk too fast. We had a lot of fun at Exodus, but all of a sudden everything got kind of hectic. So we ended up leaving Exodus and going to McDonalds, then we all went home. However, we got separated and I ended up getting a free ride home with the boys lol. But that really sucked when I realized that I was locked out of my flat and had to get the porters to let me in. I'm pretty sure everyone in my flat building hates us. But that's totally fine with me. 

So I woke up on Saturday around 2:00 and was really confused about the pain in my elbow. Surprise bruises and cuts are always the best, especially when you have no idea how it happened. I showed Toni, Mina, and Johanne and they were kind of shocked by how angry my elbow looked lol. After I finally made myself decent, I went over to Bri's flat and hung out in the kitchen talking for a while. Then Jordan, Mina, Johanne, and I went to a nice dinner at the Brig O' Don. We had a good time eating and watching all the little kids run around lol. Then we went to ldyl for Thanksgiving shopping. We weren't able to find sage or bags of croutons for for stuffing, but we improvised. I pretty much was the Thanksgiving guru lol everyone kept asking me for directions and what I thought about everything. And since I was running late for going out, Mina, Johanne, and Jordan took over the feast prep and thawed the turkey and cut up the bread. We ended up playing kings at Eddie's flat for a little before going to town. We actually went to town kind of early, but we still didn't get to Exodus in time for free entrance which was annoying. However, we did have a good time at Eddies. His flatmates are pretty ridiculous. He has a really nice flat, though. When I walked into the New Carnegie court I literally felt like I wasn't in Hillhead anymore. His flat was all decorated for Christmas, too and we were listening to Christmas music for a while and parts of Love Actually and Elf were played. It felt like a Christmas party lol. It was a really fun night, though. I love pregaming so much, especially with how ridiculous we act. There was a lot of spastic dancing and some good youtube videos were shown, too lol. But then we went to town and things were kind of crazy. Kelsie and I started chants on the bus which was great lol. And we had a good time dancing at Exodus, but then for some reason we went to Priory and nothing good every happens there during the weekends. There were a ton of creepers out like usual. I punched a guy, actually. My hand is now bruised, so I hope his face is bruised as well. Then we went to McDonalds lol and caught the night bus home. It was a pretty good night, I just don't know why we ALWAYS go to Priory because we ALWAYS get creeped on. It's ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous are my stupid feelings. I never want to leave this place :(

Sunday was a lot of fun, though. I woke up at the crack of 1:00 and basically started cooking Thanksgiving dinner lol. It only took like 6 hours, but everything turned out really well! I'm not going to lie, the turkey was pretty disgusting when it was all raw and cold feeling. I didn't really like reaching my hand into all it's cavities lol. But I'm definitely the Thanksgiving guru now, though. I totally owned our crappy little baby Belling ovens and made a Thanksgiving feast with everyone's help. Buttering and seasoning the turkey and stirring the stuffing were the worst parts. but besides that everything was a lot of fun, actually. Everyone took a bunch of pictures and it was adorable that we all got dressed up lol. Our flat literally smelled amazing! It really got me into the Thanksgiving/I would call everyone into the kitchen every time I would baste the turkey and we would all marvel at how nicely it was cooking lol. But everything turned out really well, a lot better than I expected. We literally had a shit ton of food, though. Besides the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn, we had green beans, baked beans, and corn bread. It was so good, though. There's a funny video of me cutting the turkey and some even better pictures of us eating lol. We all felt disgusting after eating, though. Literally, the multiple food babies made it difficult to function lol. So we kind of all took a few hours break to digest before regrouping for dessert lol. I went to Bri's flat and caught up with everyone over there. We talked about all the normal things, like last night, erotic books, and bombs. I'm really looking forward to Bri's birthday on Tuesday. I still need to get her something, though. I literally have no idea, which really sucks. We also talked about a few things to do for my birthday on Saturday. It really doesn't feel like it's getting anywhere close to my birthday, though. I can barely get over that I just celebrated Thanksgiving lol. Back in my flat, Bart and Lola came over and really did us a favor by eating some of the left overs lol. We had a good time talking in the kitchen about all sorts of things and looking at the many different pictures from earlier in the day. We've come to a unanimous decision that all our babies are going to be named Lydia, and that we "really do have a lot of cholera in the corridor" lol. Mina and her comments about cholera are ridiculous. 

Now since I FINALLY finished this blog, while hanging out with Lindsay in Bri's flat I'm going to watch a movie lol. But first I need to redeem myself after thinking that the pez dispenser Bri gave me earlier in the week is actually Obi Wan Kenobi... not Chuck Norris lol.
