So this was my first weekend in Manchester since the first week I was here. I was kind of looking forward to it because I thought I could get a lot done and be productive.... but for the most part I have been sleeping soooo much! It is almost like there hasn't been time to be stressed because its always 'go go go' and then when I get a minute to breathe I'm like 'wow this is really tiring' and my body just collapses! I have been pretty productive though I finished my third research paper and have one more to go.
Friday night I went out with Brianne, two Brittish girls and my neighbor Morgan. We went to the Footage again which is a bar/club that plays really cheesy music like BackStreet Boys and NSync and of course The Fresh Prince of BelAire (I know so weird they are like obsessed with that song!). But the drinks are like 1 to 2 pounds each which is so nice. It was a lot of fun and I got through a whole night without someone being inappropriate!! now thats a first...
Saturday I did a lot of sleeping and a lot of work on my paper. In the evening I was like hmmm I think I am going to go get my ears pierced now. So I took the bus to downtown and I was so so so nervous! Everyone always told me the second ones hurt really bad... but it didn't hurt at all. It was kind of burning and hot afterwards but thats just like last time. I really really like my second hole and I am so proud of myself for finally getting the nerve up to do it!
Tomorrow I will be spending doing a little more xmas shopping then meeting with my Management group to finish up our second presentation. I have gotten used to the disorganized-ness in England when it comes to business projects. Last time the guy that was supposed to print the poster did it the morning of...promised he would do it earlier in the week... and nope he overslept so again I will be calculating how the heck I am going to be able to drop this class and not hurt my GPA until the poster arrives at like 10:01am...hopefully BAHHHHH so ANNOYING!
On Thursday at 3am I will be leaving for Amsterdam with Brianne and will be meeting my old roommie Erin and I am so excited to see her!!! We will be spending 3 days in Amsterdam visiting the Van Gogh, Anne Frank, the tulips, the windmills, some famous churches and museums and of course the red light district. Then we will be taking a two hour train to Brussels, Belgium. There we are going to see the sights, eat lots of Belgium chocolate cake, eat Belgium waffles and visit a very famous bar (I forget the name of course!) that serves over 2000 flavors of beer! WOW!
I have found a cheap round trip flight to Prague, Czech Republic for my last weekend here which I would absolutely love to go to... but I need to find someone to go with!!! So I am going to put the word out and see... if it doesn't work out I may just catch a bus to London and spend the weekend seeing more of the sights and spend time reflecting on what an absolutely amazing experience this has been!!!
I miss you all... mixed feelings of course because I love it here but I can't wait to see you all again!
xoxo,
Nata-weeeeeeee
