Weekend In (Partial) Review

It's been an uncharacteristically odd weekend. Last night, I went to the Literary Society meeting and met some new people. That was exciting. Then, I went back to Catie's flat to have dinner with her. I somehow got roped into going into town to go to a club with her flatmates. Well, I didn't like that too much--it's too loud and I don't (gasp) like dancing. The guys hadn't gotten in, because they apparently can't dress themselves, so we left after not too long (thankfully). We ended up back in their flat, where I stayed until about 5:00AM, when I came home.

Got up at noon today, and soon got a call from Elizabeth, a girl from Pennsylvania who's in my history class. She wanted to go into town. So I went. I found the yarn booth in the market--it's pretty cool. I also got some Tupperware and some light bulbs for my new lamp. Oh, and we found a neat little natural food store tucked into a tiny little alley near the Tesco Metro. So that was exciting. She's really nice, by the way. I like her.

Then I got home and kind of sat around for a while. Eventually, one of my flatmates (Tom) came and told me to come to the Freshers' Bash in the LCR. Well, I didn't have tickets, and neither did a few other people. So I went anyway, and we wandered around forever, searching for tickets. We found tickets for 2 people, but three of us were left. The lot of us sat in the bar for a while, then everyone with tickets went up, and the three of us sat in the bar for a while longer. So now I know Kate (or Cate, I don't know), an English major from St. Louis, and Martin, who's Tom's friend and is from Cambridge. We ended up coming back fairly soon.

Tomorrow I go on a tour of the Norfolk Broads and of Blickling Hall with a bunch of other international students. I don't know anyone else going, so I think I'll meet some new people. I hope so, at least. I'll have a report tomorrow.
