Today...the last day of September
Every journey starts with this door.
Big culture shock today: the brits shop like pigs. Honestly, I have never seen such shopping behaviour...ALL the shops in the center were full...but FULL and people were buying things continuously. It was a mess...you should have seen all the stuff thrown on the floor everyhere...poor shop keepers were on their knees trying to keep up with the rhythm people were searching through clothes. "Next please"..."Next please"..
Other than that today was a lovely walking day..I had a proper guide this time..Giedre..the lithuanian girl who lived here last year as well...Now I know where the beeds shop is, the second hand shop, another one pound land, but also The Body Shop, the biggest designer in UK shop....and...the Hard Rock Caffee. :) Impressive, isn't it?
I now got the freshers brochure. Till the 9th of October, when school starts, we will be having fuuuun. The school prepaired for us loads of stuff to do every day...from trips to IKEA to recruitment fairs, games, parties, teas, city center tours, etc. I understood that we will be getting a bracelet on Monday which will allow us to do stuff...because we are freshers..like cut queues...and others :))).
Fun thing is that there are a lot of clubs and societies you can join...listen to this: pole dancing, belly dancing, capoiera, trampoline club (?!), Korfball (?!)...and many other societies..like the pirates, international students society, conservation, rock and alternative music...and other such weird gatherings...
Today's highlights:
Today we were supposed to go out, but because Giedre had to go work and only returned at 00:00, we had our own indoor party: watched Miss World 2006 (Romania came in second :p) then"MR.&MRS. Smith"(Angelina...uuuu...and Brad tooooo), found out we had a playstation and played Grand Turismo..me and the boys, of course, side to side :P
Tomorrow there'll be yet another party...truth is that it's a 4 pounds entrance...so ouch to the budget...:P
Anyways..till then I leave you with the wisdom of the trash bin we have outside the house :)

Codrutz, chiar daca nu comentez de fiecare data cand ma plimbaresc pe blogul matale, citesc aproape zilnic si-mi place tare sa cunosc nottingham prin ochii tai ;)
Asa ca asta-i un mesaj de incurajare in a continua tot asa. Si daca nebunia lucrurilor atat de ciudate si diferite pe care pare ca le poti face acolo iti va rapi din timpul de scris, nu-ti fa probleme, te intelegem :)
...evident cu o conditie: vrem demonstratie de capoeira sau orice alta ciudatenie vei face :P
Draguta mea, se pare ca in curand n-o sa mai am atat de mult timp...dar pana in 9 octombrie cand incepe scoala e cam vacanta...si pana imi gasesc un job :) Asa ca imi face placere sa impart cu voi ce traiesc.
Mi-ar placea ca fiecare dintre voi sa veniti in vizita :)Sa va fac un tur al orasului personal :)
