I have been here 1 month. Its official! As of yesterday! Eeeep!
Its so weird...still doesn't feel real somehow. Over here, theres no perception of time or days, you are literally in a bubble. Like I have no idea what today is..its like Wednesday right? I just had to look at my laptop calender to double check! Theres no real definition of a weekend so weeks just slip by! Its weird too as we have 2 days off a week and they're classed as your weekend, so your weekend could be Tuesday, Wednesday or like me, Friday, Saturday...which is quite cool. Its gonna be weird going back to reality at home and not living this way!
Ive finally gotten a bank account sorted! Went with Kylie on Saturday to do it at Walmart...yes...theres a bank INSIDE walmart! How odd is that?! Ive set up a savings account as well as a checking, so I'm just waiting for my card to come through the post, which will probably come next week now and then ill transfer those details to Disney so i get paid into that account, not my paycard. The pay card is a good idea but it only gives you one free withdrawal a week and then it charges you to take cash out of an ATM! WTF?! So advice for peoples coming out...open a bank account so it doesn't charge you to take your own money out!
I can transfer funds and receive them too but its does cost if its international...bummer but at least it doesn't charge me to take my own fricking money out!
Out here, every Monday they have whats called Lads and Lasses. Its a UK thing and each week the lads and lasses meet at different apartments before going out. The lads meet girls from a different country and the lasses meet boys from a different country. Its such a typical England thing as theres lots of drinking games, fines and fun going on...its a great way to meet people and make new friends and if you go 6 times in a row, you get your own personalised lasses shirt! I went for the first time on Monday as Ive missed every one of them since i got here, so i figured it was about time i went! It was a masquerade theme and we had to wear masks...i didn't have time to buy one (Claire's accessories over here doesn't sell masks! wtf?!) so i made mine :) using the 3D glasses id gotten from the cinema and some cardboard and decorated it! didn't look too bad to be fair!
But I had like my initiation into lasses with Lauren which basically consisted of drinking a dirty pint...not too bad...apparently the one when you earn your shirt is bad...so I'm building myself up to that! But this pint, which i can only describe as looking like mouthwash, wasn't overly bad...just very very sweet! I think there was melon and peach schnapps in it, vodka, apple sours, lemonade and other spirits which i cant remember! We basically had to down it in one...i did but felt incredibly sick afterwards!
We got a taxi to a bar called Murphy's...I don't remember the taxi journey...purely because i was sat on the arch of the wheel and spent the whole journey there trying not to throw my guts up! But after that, it turned out to be a really good night...we met Canada and played flip cup which i managed to master, even though i was mighty drunk!
I spoke to Ben on the phone finally :) Literally the best thing ever. Was so so good to hear his voice...didn't realise just how much i missed him and I felt so much better for it, so much more calm and happy..was in my own little bubble for the rest of the day! :)
Cannot wait to get my phone sorted out so i can talk to him more and people back home. I MISS MY BLACKBERRY!
Been speaking to daddy Nixon alot too and hes apparently very happy with his lady :) I'm so so happy for him, has defiantly restored my faith in love and relationships...if my dad can, then so can the rest of the world :D
Still waiting on my fluffing package from home to come! Alice said shed send me a load of things, but in true Alice style, 2 weeks later, she STILL hasn't! :)
I'm gonna start up with the gym again, i miss it and luckily they have one here :)
Gonna go and try it out now and I'm thinking i may start with running again but it all depend on how warm it is outside!
