another update..

alright alright! emily told me off for not updating this lately, so here i go!!
so.. two weeks ago (jesus, already?!) i had the week off. On monday i was lazy and hung around home :) On tuesday I went to Waterloo with Eliza. We went and found the Lion on the hill and took photos and all things exciting! Then we found a lovely little pub place which made Eliza super excited because she could smoke in there and apparently it felt 'homey' haha ok... On Wed i stayed at home again :) :) i really don't mind sleeping in!! On Thursday I went and rescued a drunk Eliza and took her to meet her friend in Brussels - not an easy task!! Then finally Friday rolled around and i managed to buy Danger Days by MCR, a FANtastic album!

ON Saturday.. I had to get up early (gasp!) and my host brother took me to the train station because this weekend was the midstay AFS camp!! wahoo!! pretty much everyone took the train there and i totallt felt sorry for the other passengers cause we were takin' over!!! At the camp I was immediately disappointed as we weren't allowed to eat for what seemed like hours! i think it was actually 20mins... Thus we decided to aluse ourselves with countless "that's what she said" jokes, mostly at my expense!
Basically the whole weekend we were split up into groups to talk about our feelings. sometimes it was good and sometimes it was fairly average. But meal times were fantastic, between mixing puddings until they look like diarrhea, having "who gets the most bread" wars and trying to figure out what some of the mystery dishes were (including grey slop covered in cheese and chicken like legs the size of my arm!), we managed to entertain ourselves with many more "that's what she said" jokes and unattractive stalker photos of those eating...
The weekend was really great overall, and I loved seeing everyone again and meeting yet more people! It was sad though how they reminded us that the next time we're in that situation we'll be heading home soon!!! It was a bit of a shock to realise that..
OMG my life has been ruined!! I've been spending a lot of time with Americans and those who speak English with an American accent, and i'm afraid it's rubbing off on me!! It was actually one of the American girls who pointed out to me that I was losing my accent, and it's true! It scares me. Also, the other day i said "garbage" - it scared me greatly.

On Monday I went with Rosie to see "the kids are alright" and it was good! It was nice to go see a movie :)

This weekend I went to Brussels with some other AFSers and we hit the Anglosaxon pubs! aha always a treat :) We had quite a lot of fun! Paha.

Ummm... yes well I am lazy so will stop there, but yes.. Have fun waiting for my next post!!
