SATURDAY,
Spent the day with Zihan and we watched Tucker & Dale vs. Evil,
Zihan always downloads all these high rated rotten tomato movies that I've never heard of, but have cult followings, that turn out to be really good.
Had dinner after with Shannon & Ethel, then dinner #2 at Genki because I wanted to show them the awesome train system
Went home to pack, Zihan came to help me after his mum's birthday dinner,
And Ethel came back to make nutella tart for us, so we stayed up til 1am talking round the kitchen table with Shannon.
SUNDAY,
Met Kenneth & Amadea in the morning for breakfast,
Caught up with the DG for a bit after service and said my goodbyes,
then went to Ahma's house and finally saw Mildred,
Back home to hang out with Zihan for the last time in 5 months :'(
Family dinner at home where Sarah, porpor and Ahmai came over and stayed til midnight,
Then off to the airport with Shannon, Daddy and Ethel. Walking through the departure gates alone waving goodbye to your family really, really sucks.
MONDAY,
Spent the whole day in the air and touched down at 2pm London time, my Dubai stopover got delayed by 2 more hours so it was like a repeat of going home the last time.
No more Emirates for me.
Sat between 2 really cute guys in the plane from Dubai to London, watched My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and Footloose, slept tons, ate 2 breakfasts between both flights,
Came back and had to endure 1.5 hours of customs and 1.5 hours on train to Camden, lugging my luggage around the stairs at Leicester Square tube,
When I got back to halls, checked out my timetable for the week reluctantly, then crashed from 6pm til the next day 7am.
TUESDAY,
First day of class for me, was awesome seeing everyone again and walking down with Tarrant,
Managed to rearrange my Anthro tutorials so I've got Wednesdays off again though Tuesdays and Thursdays are ridiculously long. It is a necessary sacrifice.
Got an overview of this term, don't know if I am prepared for it but I will be eventually,
Did my harris matrix during the break with Tarrant because I lost it somewhere in transit :(
Now I've got to finish my past societies essay on metallurgy- to think I told myself I would finish these 2 assignments before the winter break. It was a nice idea.
Got groceries on the way home, and sat in the kitchen with the flatmates for 2 hours even though I had an essay to do (queen of procrastination). Kind of glad to be back in Flat F, got hugs from my flatmates as they came through the door and I feel like I could get used to being here again even though I'm far from home.
Ended up staying in the kitchen to finish the questionairre on my harris matrix,
(so much harder than it looks, trust me. supposedly the hardest assignment of first year)
Crashed at 10pm.
