Day 45

Today I woke up around 8:30 and got some things together for my class at 10. At around 9:40 I headed into town to go to my lecture class. After class ended I met with my professor to talk about what I was planning on writing for my final assignment. She gave me some good ides and now I know what I am going to write about. That meeting only lasted about five minutes and then I went back to my flat to make some lunch. I had some tuna on an english muffin. After lunch I went over to the library to meet with my group and talk about our presentation. We figured out how we were going to set up the presentation and we also got some books out for research. After we finished up I headed over to the gym and did about an hour workout. Once I finished with that I headed back to my flat. I planned on going back to the library to do some work, but that never really happened. I just wound up doing some things around my room and skyping with friends. I didn't even go out because I was not in the mood. I read for a bit and then went to bed. It was a nice relaxing night.

Day 44

Last night was lots of fun. It was the first night I did not go to the Eldon on a Tuesday night. Instead I stayed in with my mates and we played centurion with everyone, and when I say everyone I mean about 20 people, possibly more. All I know is that we had to get another table from another flat and more chairs to fit everyone. Centurion is just another name for power hour except it is an hour and a half instead of an hour. Basically for the game you just take a shot of beer, or drink of choice, every minute. It is quite hard to make it the whole time. I know that I can't do it. 

The game started and at around half way through I had to stop because I just could not drink anymore. Everyone was got rowdy and loud and the UPP (campus police) came in to tell us to quite down. That didn't happen, so he just kicked us all out. The fire alarm got set off anyway so we all left and went over to our friend Tom's flat to continue. I left around 2am as I was tired and needed some food in my system. I had some water and pretzels and skyped with my friend from home and then went to bed. 

I woke up around noon and went into the kitchen to have some cereal. Luke and Jamie were in there eating some food and we wound up chatting about the night before. After that I got ready and went into town. I walked around the shops and got two cute dresses to go out in. After that I went to the gym (I didn't really want to go, but I am glad I did) and then headed home for some dinner. I had some salad and spinach and then took a half hour nap because I could not keep my eyes open any longer. After my nap I went over to Brian’s and we watched Entourage. Brian told me I looked tan, which made me feel good. I am no longer as pale as I was. J After a couple of episodes of entourage I went back to my room and chatted with mom on skype and friends on Facebook. Then I went over to the twins to hang out with them for a bit and then came back and got ready for bed. Tomorrow I have one class and then the weekend begins!

Day 43

Today I got up around 8 to get ready for my 9am class. We just reviewed the answers to the quiz that we had to do online. It was not really mandatory and just kind of like practice so basically me and four other people did it and no one else did, so the professor let the four of us leave early since the rest of them were doing the problems in class. Since I had some time until my next class I went to the gym and then after I went to my class at noon. Then I headed back to my flat to make some lunch before my last class.

My last class is a lecture, which the slides get put up on line, so I was debating not going, but I went. It was boring and long but once it was over I was happy. After class I went into town and went for a tan. I am not a fan of tanning, but I felt the whitest I have ever felt and needed to get a little bit of color. I hate being so white. After tanning I walked back, had some food, showered, and got ready for the night.

Day 42

Today I has all intentions of getting up around nine and going to the gym before class, but I just wound up sleeping until 10:30. I showered and then headed into to town for class. After class I went over the gym and while I was there I ran into the twins. After I was done they were leaving as well so we all walked home together. When I got back I made some tuna and then went downstairs to eat with the twins. After lunch I showered and then met up with Valentina to go to the library to get some work done. I was there for about 2 1/2 hours and got a good amount done. Then I headed over to Morrisons before they closed. I could not wait because I had no food for dinner. I go what I needed and then walked back to my flat. As I was cooking I cleaned up the kitchen a bit from the other night. I made myself rice with grilled chicken and peppers. It was quite delicious. I could not finish all of it so I wrapped the rest up, cleaned my dishes and then chatted with people on the computer. Then my one friend Melody invited to go to the next building over for a little party. It was Dan's birthday. He lives with Brian. When I got in the kitchen I knew most of the people, but also saw new faces. I was quite tired and everyone was a bit drunk so I snuck out and visited Brian in his room. We chatted for a while and then I left to go to bed. Of course when I want to go to bed everyone at home wants to chat. It was ok though because I wound up skyping with Alyssa and Laura and some others form home which was nice because I have not talked to them in a while. We talked for about an hour and then I had to go to bed because it was late and I was exhausted. I am really glad I got to talk with them though.

Day 41

My wake up call was around noon today when my mates arrived home from the house party. Yes, they were out all night. I got up and went into Luke's room to hang out with them. After about an hour I went back to my room to do some homework. After I finished that I got a shower in and then met up with Brian to go to a rugby game. We rod a double decker bus to the game. We sat up top of course. It was quite an entertaining ride since all the Leeds Rhinos fans were on the bus drinking.
This game was the Gillette World Club Challenge against Leeds Rhinos and Australia Kangaroos. The tickets were forty pounds, but we got them complimentary due to the guy Joe that took us. I did not really know any of the rules, but after while of watching I started to get the gist of the game. We had really good seats which was awesome. the only downfall was that it started to rain, but thankfully we were under an overhang. It was freezing though.
The game was really close the whole time. There was even a fight in the middle of the field at one point. Rugby is a really intense game. In the last three minutes of the game the Kangaroos scored and we lost 18 to 10. It would have been great to see Leeds win the World Club Challenge on their home turf. Oh well. The international Australian students who study here at Leeds were very pleased at the outcome of the game though. After the game ended Brian and myself headed back home and then I headed to bed.

Day 40

Today I got up around noon and was planning on going to the library and getting some work done, but that never happened. I wound up just uploading pictures on Facebook and my blog and then I went over to Brian's and we watched a lot of episodes of Entourage. At around 8 I left to take a shower and get ready for the night. A whole bunch of us wound up hanging out in Luke's room and then when it got really crowded everyone sifted to the kitchen. Everyone was having fun and around 2am we all headed out to a house party. It was really crazy because the house at about three floors and housed about eleven people.
I got a taxi and left around 5am as I was tired and ready for bed. I had a fun night, but I need my sleep

Day 39

Last night was a pretty late night. I wound up hanging out with my mates in the kitchen until about 4 in the morning. Needless to say I slept in late on Friday. After doing being a bum for the whole day I decided to take a walk into town. I went to Primark to exchange some things, but of course I got there around the time they were closing so the things that I had in my hand I could not try on so I just did the exchange and hoped for the best. Lets just say that I have to make another trip to Primark. Oh well.
I got back to my flat and go ready for the night. We wound up just playing power hour over at Brian's flat with all of his mates. My mates were supposed to go to a house party, but that never really happened so after power hour I just went back and got some sleep.
