More frist day

Apartment is awesome! my roommates are three girls. Though none of them are here yet.

Got to the apartment freshened up and dropped my stuff off then it was off to shop a bit to grab a few essentials with Catie.
Did some rudimentary grocery shopping at Lidl (Aldis). Groceries = college food = ramen noodles, spaghetti o's, Kidney beans, Tuna and beer.
After shopping, unpacking, cleaning, and eating I promptly flopped down and passed out in an not so comfortable position on my bed. Woke up about 20 mins later with crazy cramps, drank some water and went right back to bed
but I did remember to set an alarm to wake myself in 2 hours.

Catie was too exhausted to go out at night so I went out alone for a quick pint with intentions to meet someone later. My downstairs neighbor had invited me out for diner but I was waiting for Catie before she decided to stay in. I was going to meet him at Dolan's pub later in the night, this was somewhere I had read about and thought I knew the location.

Turns out I really didn't quite know where it was so I just meandered about by myself in the rain until I came past a small pub called The West End, I decided to stop in for a pint an turns out there was an important football match on so I caught the tail end of it. The team I was rooting for wan but did not deserve to. Tottenham Hotspur advanced to the final of the Carling Cup by beating Burnley on 6-4 aggregate but really Burnley should have won and advanced. The final is against Manchester United.

Had some red kidney beans as late night snack and watched the first half of Eastern Promises before turning into bed at 11:30.

    Sounds like your adventure is truly underway...one suggestion...no more "freshening up," even though you are going to be living in a girls dorm, eh?

  3. What Randy meant was...it's OK to "wash up" but....freshen up? MO's also right about people living vicariously...I had a heckofa hangover after that all-nighter up top. Skype's a good idea, too.
