After I posted last night everyone went to Imperial College for our welcome bbq. There was free beer and burgers. Guess what! I ate my first burger in about 16 years. I rather liked it. A bunch of us AU kids sat with some Brits and made friends. Mainly me and Angelica talked to them and hung out for a while. We thought the guy, Emory, was 24 or 25ish....nope. Turns out he's 31. And a doctor. But not just any doctor. A cardio-thorastic surgeon. Whaaaaaaat. Insanity.
We were back to the flat by 8:30 and we had a flat meeting to work out things like the fridge and bathrooms, cause lets face it, if there aren't rules 13 people are gonna have a problem. Then we went back to Kavanaugh's for the evening. Angelica, Diana, and myself sat at the bar and were talking and an older guy started talking to us. We had a great conversation about politics and business and society, and it was really intellectual. And then he bought us another round of drinks! Hoorayy! And it turns out he's an executive of Waterford Crystal. The second whaaaaaaat of the evening. We got his card. Go us! lol.
Today we went shopping for groceries and other essentials and then in the evening I had my first class. British politics. It lasted nearly the whole 3 hours, and there was lecture the whole time.....and I didn't learn anything....cause I already knew it all from a previous class. That'll teach me to be a know-it-all. Lol. I did impress the socks of the prof. though.
We came back to the flat and hung out, and then for the third night in a row, we went to Kavanaugh's and closed the bar. Now, thats not as bad as it seems, since the bars here close at 11. And you only have time to drink a pint or two if you don't get there till 10 (like us). It was a rather smaller group this evening....just 5 guys and myself and another Sarah. I was one of the guys, and it was fun.
Now its really late, cause those of us who went out again came back to find those that stayed in were being crazy. So we all sat around and goofed off and had ridiculous conversations, thousands of crazy photos and barrels of laughs. It was a great evening.
Now I suppose you can put pictures on here, but I think it would make it annoyingly long and tedious, so I'll work something out so ya'll can see some pictures, and I'll work on that tomorrow. For now I need to get to sleep....its nearly 2am here!
