Hey all (Or should I say y'all!).Sorry about my pessimistic ramblings yesterday, I just felt like I need to have a moan.
Today, however, i'm feeling gooood! My lovely mother and step-dad are coming up to visit me on Saturday so I am looking forward to some home cooked dinners and family time. As I was saying with my closing-in-walls lame-ass analogy yesterday the work today has been completed, targets met, the walls pushed away and a sigh of relief let out.
This afternoon I managed to convince Livi to come to Best Buy with me as I needed to get a new phone, so we hailed a cab, got in, in drove for... approximately two minutes, it turned a corner and there we were. I guess that's what happens when you live on a campus that is the size of a small city and surrounded by roads that closely resemble the M4. Best Buy is virtually identical to Currys or PCWorld and as a result of this I put up my metaphorical British shield and waited to be bombarded with people trying to sell me the best deal. Nothing. Nada. No one. In the end I had to resort to asking for help. I guess that's just a British thing. The over enthusiastic sales assistance that is... not the asking for help.
Shopping complete we decided to attempt the walk home as it seemed abit extravagant to ring up a taxi. The first issue came about 24seconds in when we were suddenly faced by an enormous junction, with 8 different lanes full of Monster Trucks whizzing by. With no crossing in sight me and Livi just stood there like idiots until someone else turned up and we felt brave enough to cross. Feeling proud of ourselves we wandered on and came across a row of shops and restaurants. Almost simultaneously our faces lit up and then dropped. Yesss shops! Followed by the realization that we hadn't passed these shops on the way over... we'd gone the wrong way. Oh well, when life gives you lemons... you go and get a frozen "yo-gurt". Fuzzy Peach is a little ice cream parlor set up by ex students and is absolutely delicious! I had cheesecake flavoured yogurt with fresh raspberries. Wonderful.
When we eventually arrived back at I-House we were greeted by our lovely RA (resident assistant) Ashley who had set up a Peanut Butter and Jelly party... well, when in rome...!
