An Entry Sprinkled With Love

Although the weekend is half over, I've accomplished so much I thought I'd document it. (note: "so much" may or may not be sarcasm: up to your discretion ;).

Anyways, I thought I'd spend last night studying in my room, however, Anna bought these speed dating tickets for Halo from someone in the building. On top of that, it was Keven's birthday, and Sophie and Anna, made him dinner, got him a present (a football/soccer shirt), and socks lol (what's an xmas with socks?) a card, and got him an amazing cheesecake (I kind of helped lol- again, sarcasm?) Anyways, people kept calling him and we couldn't bring him the cake because he kept leaving the kitchen. Finally, Sophie and I lit the candles and just as we opened Sophie's bedroom door he was walking by... by the time he actually got around to letting us give him the cake and sing happy birthday, the cake had 'sprinkles' on it because the melted wax was dripping from the candle onto the cake. But I am glad he liked it!

Back to the speed dating, by the time we left the flat and arrived at Halo we had already missed the speed dating, but never mind, we still paid less than everyone else to get in the club. We had a few drinks, a good time, lots of dancing in a very crowded nightclub church- I headed home early (1:30- yes this is early for people here on a Friday night) to go to bed since I had to work this morning.

In order to keep up with my lucrative traveling habits, I now work for a company that hires temporary bar and waitressing staff (something along those lines), so I spent this morning working pulling pints at the Leeds United stadium (yes people were drinking at 11 am). Not only did I get to be a bartender of some sort, I even got my first glimpse at a live football match!! They pay pretty well when you factor in the exchange rate. Fun! but it was sooo cold!!!

I've done a bit of readings for classes, but I got distracted in the kitchen hahaha, anways, Europe is in 7 days, and me being in trouble for exams happens in about a month!! Now, because my mom is reading this, I will say that I am kidding- I'm sure I'll be fine, we are bringing some stuff with us to study- (again: sarcasm?)- but to show you how serious we are, we may only be bringing a backpack for 2 weeks or so and still managing to bring some school papers along for the ride ;)... I am somehow doing quite well so far, good results on everything I've submitted up to this point, whew!

Oh, and on the way back from work on the bus I got a chance to appreciate the true beauty of English Christmases. The lights here (which I will have to take a photo of) are just sooo festive and gorgeous!

And.. Happy Hannakah/Channaka! (as my flatmats say...) with mucho grande love.
