Another short blog. I should combine them into two again.
Yesterday... Not much to tell. I got up late, eventually met Lucie at twenty to three. The ticket shop was closed. Boo. Everything else, weirdly, was also closed. We went to one of the few open cafes and had a drink. It was still closed when we went back so then we went home. I stayed and chilled for a while. I read some of twilight, its this book thats massively popular. Its very teen but pretty good. I've got a bit addicted and am a bit in love with the hero, but i'm a complete sucker for fictional perfect men.
Later I went out to 2be. At the start I got a drink but some arsehole accidentally knocked it out of my hand! It went all over the floor and the glass shattered. I gave him evil looks, and Adri and Lucie spoke to him for me. In the end, after many evil looks, he paid for my drink. Only fair as it had cost me €5! Stupid man. Anyway after that the night went well. We danced on the podium, it was great! I suddenly crashed at half 2 and had to go home but all in all it wasn't a bad night

Friday
Right.. Friday I got up late and went to CILTA. While I was there, there were two people's presentations. One was on ice cream, the other on Emilia Romagana in general. They were both OK, the ice cream one was better. After that me and Irena went to the uni restaurant to eat, and we bumped into two of the Italians she'd interviewed on the way back. Then I went home.
Not alot else happened yesterday. I was exhasuted after the lesson.

Wednesday and Thursday
Right, lets get on with this:
Wednesday wasn't the most interesting day. I got up late at Lydia's and then got myself home. I didn't have any lectures. I spent the day being tired, until the evening and my normal outting to Hobby One. It was really fun. When we arrived the layout had changed a bit (poker night was sharing with us, in one section) but it was fun. I'd invited Stephen and he found us. So it was me, Lucie, Adrienne and Stephen dancing most of the night. Was great!! Stephen knew what song was coming up next, which was weird. It was a good night all in all. Plus I didn't massively overheat like last time.
Thursday was a good day. I was tired in the morning, and didn't take in much of the lecture. She was pretty much reading off the handouts she'd given us so I don't think it matters that much. Italian uni is not like English uni, Italians arn't expected to attend lectures. They do exams based on the books people say they've read if you want them too. Its a bit silly, you can kind of see why a British degree is worth more even if it is thousands and thousands of pounds more expensive. Aaaaanyway.. so that was fine. Went back home for a while, chatted online. Stephen (American friend) said that his uni group were having a thanksgiving meal in a restaurant. He'd been told to bring friends, and it was free. I said that I should go to my class instead. It turned out when I went to the lecture that noone turned up so I met up with him and we went to my first ever thanksgiving!! it was a really nice restaurant. We had pasta starter, with turkey main course and it was really really tasty! Everyone was so sweet and very funny. We had awesome conversations! Including one about the differences between British and American English. They have some insane stories about Brown. I really wanna visit, but it'll be so expensive. I'll see how viable it is! Its so cool having friends from all over the world! I really enjoyed my thanksigiving, even if I did feel a bit of a fraud.

Monday and Tuesday
Hey, had a good two days, so i've been busy
Monday: I got up late but met Lydia for lunch as we'd planned before our lecture. We had a quick catch up, some food then went to the place. We turned up 5 minutes late and noone was there. We waited a while and noone turned up. Eventually this other girl turned up, but it turns out there was no lecture. We're going back next week. After that Lydia spoke about a place where she knows to get suitcases that are hand luggage size, so we went off to go thereb while we were on the way we bumped into Luca. He's a guy that Lydia knows (I had only met him before in a club). He had just won €20 in the lottery so he took us to a cafe on him. Lydia had really thick (more like moose) hot chocolate, I had herbal tea (great becuase it was SO SO cold) and they had cakes. We stayed for ages and chatted untl i had to go to my lecture. Lecture was fine.
Tuesday: Got up late, went to my CILTA lesson. Mimma (the teacher) had lost her voice so we watched "Il Postino" instead. It was sweet, but it would take too long to explain the story here. It was fairly easy to understand with italian subtitles. Then I had lunch with Christina and Lydia in the uni restaurant, which was nice. Its nice to talk english, I hadn't kept in touch with them enough I think. Then we all went to the suitcase stand and I brought myself a suitcase. Then I went home and then went off to do shopping and stuff. At this point I was exhausted so I rested. At one point I was talking to one of my friends online. He said that his hair clippers had broken and hence he had half his hair cut. He'd worked on it with sciccors and could I help! I recommended him a shop, and he went out. In the end he actually came to very near me, so I breifly met up with him. The hunt for hair clippers was in vain :(. Later on I met Lydia, Christina, Eloisa, Julio (spanish) and Julio (italian) for Pizza. The restaurant was nice, and it didn't cost too much! Then we went back to Lydia's house. We played Uno, then we played a wink murder kind of game. It didn't work that well, as there were so many nationalities! Even though the game was explained in English and in Italian, it was still confusing for people. It didn't really work. I decided to stay over, as it was so cold, and far from mine.

Sunday
Yesterday the most interesting thing I did was watch a film on youtube. I also did another load of washing, so at least I have lots of clean clothes.
This was while I should have been working furiously on my cilta presentation on christmas cooking in Italy. damn

Friday and Saturday
Friday was rushed. I woke up at about 25 past ten, and I had CILTA at 11.30! It takes about 40 mins to get there! So I rushed, got dressed and stuff. I managed to get there on time! Everyone else was late, most due to the fact that they'd been up late last night like me!! ha ha. It was an OK lesson, but seemingly with less people than there were before. I didn't feel that we learnt much, but it was ok. We played a pair up question and answers game.
After the lesson I went with the girls i'm doing the presentation with to the uni restaurant. We ate and discussed stuff. It probably wasn't the best idea while eating, but we agreed on topics, and decided to have a draft by Tuesday. Its something I have to work on today. Then they got coffee, and I hung around a bit. They then went off on their bikes home (bus strike again) and I walked back. Not much else happened that day.
Saturday was similarly dull. I got a new housemate, Turkish guy, in the place of the Japanese guy. He speaks more English than Italian. I also did a bunch of washing (which was good, although I have two more loads!!) and I went shopping. I got a drainer for pasta, more food, various boring things. I text Hannah to see if she wanted to watch DVDs but she didn't reply. Its ok though.

Thursday
Hello!
I'm going to write a bit about Thursday. I woke up late from the night before, and stayed at home until about 4. Then I went out. I went to the shop and got new eyeliner, a mirror for make up, face clenser stuff and new slippers. The old ones had started to stink, party due to being old party due to me putting my feet in them wet from the shower. I hope these new ones don't go the same way. They were however only 1.50 euros so I don't mind. Then I went to H and M, taking photos of graffiti along the way. I went all over H and M, tried a bunch of stuff on but in the end didn't like anything other than the boots. Got the boots and came home.
Came home, ate and stayed at home and got bored haha. Didn't get a reply from Lydia about where we were going that night. Eventually we met up, it was Hannah, Christina and Lydia. They all had eyeliner moustaches! The party they had been at was a gender swap one apparantly. We caught up and walked to Corto Maltese. I got a telling off from Lydia about my pill, shes right though I really do need to sort it out.
We got there and about half my CILTA class (who are Spainish, so it kinda fits) were there!! Julio was playing the music and it was all really good! We got drinks, I chatted to Hannah, and the night started. There were loads of sleazy guys, which annoyed me but everyone else took it in their stride. Hannah and Christina danced with some guys but me and Lydia took a hands off approach. It was all in all a good night. I left early at 2 and went to bed.
