Friday - Was kind of a lazy day. I had to go up to campus around noon, to put my order in for the Forensic Society's Hoodie. I did that, took two minutes, and then headed to the library. I had to renew a Forensic book, that I only had out on a one week loan. Stupidly, while I was doing this - I forget my BU student ID in the machine. So I am hoping that maybe someone handed it in at the library. I will be checking Monday. I got back to my flat in the afternoon, and tried to clean up my room a little bit, it was still a little messy from all the freebies I got at freshers fair...lol I made some dinner in the kitchen with my flatmates, and chatted for a bit. I was invited by my friend Orla (from Ireland) to a little party up in their flat on the 8th floor, so decided to go to that. My friends in Corfe House - Tauheed and Hilary were also going, so we all were going to meet in my room around 10pm. That worked out great, and we all headed up to 807 together. We all hung out and met a few new faces in the building, and had some cider. Hilary and Tauheed left before midnight, but I had some friends still up there so I wound up staying til well after 3am....lol But was a really fun night.
Saturday - I got up and got ready to meet Nwadi and Hilary at 11am, down in the lobby. We were going to the market that is held in the town square on the weekend. We headed down there, and started at one end and went to all the little carts. They had things from jewelry, to vegetables, to meats, and much more. And the great thing was that all the prices seemed really reasonable. We did that for a few hours and then started stopping in some of the shops that were on the street. We eventually made our way to the Quay (pronounced Key) which is where the end of High Street meats the waterfront. I had never been down there, and it was so pretty. They have ships and lots of walkways by the water. So we walked a bit up the Quay, and then decided that it would be best to return to our flats to drop off all our "goodies" from the day. The plan was to go to our flats, drop our stuff off, eat some lunch and then meet back down in the lobby in an hour. Easy plan - right. Well I got up to my flat, and was feeling kinda icky. I had been up late the night before and was tired that morning, so didnt shower and threw my hair up in a pony tail. So I decided to take a quick shower and then I'd make some lunch before meeting the girls downstairs. Shower was quick, and I got out and was drying off --- and the fire alarm starts going off! So I quickly grabbed some clothes and shoes....wet hair, and headed to the hallway to head downstairs. All my flatmates were also in the hallway and we were confused about why the fire alarm was going off. There was no fire or smoke or anything. And poor Georgia also had just gotten out of the shower. We looked a mess, hair dripping and in mismatched clothes...lol So we go into the hallway to head downstairs, and realize that the alarm is only going off in our flat. So Damla and Tianyi offer to go downstairs and tell the front desk, while me and Georgia waited in the hallway. They came and turned off the alarm and checked all our rooms - and said it was safe and had to call in the alarm. So we finally are allowed back in. By this time, I have 10 minutes till I have to meet everyone downstairs....lol So I got dressed, heated up a cup-O-soup -- ate just the noodles, and headed down. It was truly a crazy hour. We then decided to head back towards the water and walk all the way till the end. A bit ambitious, but we just set out and kept walking. Along the way we took a bunch of cute pictures along the pebble beach, and by the water. It was such a fun afternoon - we didn't even realize the time or how far we had walked. So I checked my pedometer and we had walked over 5 miles! So we found a cute spot and took a little sit. That did us in, we all were then starting to feel a little tired...lol So we decided to head back - another 5 miles. We got back to the Quay and were pretty hungry. So we got some really delicious "chips" (french fries, but better) We had our chips, at sunset, on a little stone wall - right on the water. It was a good way to end the day. We all headed home after that. I came home and just lounged around for the rest of the night (we got in around 7pm) And then fell asleep around 10, and woke up around 1am....lol but shortly went back to bed.
Sunday - This honestly was quite a lazy day. I caught up on some reading and cleaned up my room a little bit. But about mid-day I went to the grocery store and got a few ingredients to make an apple pie for my flatmates and friends. It wasn't expensive and it actually turned out to be pretty easy to do. It also made the flat smell sooooo good. While it was baking I made some pasta with mushrooms and panchetta sauteed in it. And then Georgia decided to make Greek Lasagna! Well that night in our flat, there was so much food. Damla had a left over dish from the night before, we had Georgia's Lasagna, my pasta and then for desert the pie with ice cream! All of it was so yummy, and we had our friends Sara and Astrid down for the pie! They have requested that I make the pie again this weekend. We all like to spend time in the kitchen, cooking together but also eating together and just spending time with one another. I am really lucky to have such amazing flatmates and friends.
