Hello Sir Rugby Player...Why Yes It's True We Americans Can Drink Til We're Dead.

So a lot has happened in the past week.

Last Thursday at O'Neills we all had an awsome time! Played a few games of beer pong before we left the flat...so while we had originally planned to leave at 9:30 we actually left at 11. Haha. We finally got to the bar, got drinks and headed over to where the band was playing as usual. I'm pretty sure by now all the bartenders know us since our entire house makes Thursdays reserved for O'Neills. I ended up meeting another American student, Chris, who was studying in Ireland but was visiting London with a few friends for the weekend. He recommended I visit Ireland which I definitely plan to do after finals are over!

Friday was spent relaxing, doing some work and basically spending all day in my sweats and a cut off tee (makes me miss the usual Chatham dress...)

Later that night we all planned to go to World's End in Camden Town. Ray, one of my housemates invited one of his friends, Roman, another student at Uni. Westminster. The night was good and we all had a ton of fun and of course ended up closing the night at The Oxford Arms before getting a night bus back to Highgate.

Saturday Ray invited Jackie and I to watch a Rugby match with the university's team at a bar near campus. I have been DYING to see a game so I was in. Jackie and I smuggled in a bottle of white wine into the bar so we wouldnt have to pay for drinks and no one really noticed since Ray and the rest of the school rugby team were fixated on the game. Rugby players are the UK's version of American Football players. Basically, large, incredibly fit guys and one, Adam offered to explain the game...too bad I already know the rules...haha. The entire team is a fun bunch, and by the end of the match they were all sufficiently drunk as were Jackie and I. We went back to Baker Street and then Jackie, Ray, and I headed back to Furnival around 11:30 PM.

When we got back everyone was going to a Hungarian club that was pretty close but we were so tired we just made dinner and I subsequently passed out.

Sunday was a repeat of Friday, just doing work and relaxing. That night we all convened in the common room, made dinner, and watched Sin City which I hadn't seen but I definitely love it now!

Tuesday Me, Jackie, and Daisy went shopping for my 21st birthday which is coming up this Saturday! I'm so excited!! We're all going to Zoo Bar which is in Leiscester Square and is supposed to be amazing! We've al; decided to dress up as well so I'm decided to wear my black t-shirt dress, tights and I found dark purple patent leather ankle boots for 6 Pounds! (We made sure to go to Primark and New Look, basically the 'Forever 21' of London)

Today (Thursday) I'm basically on campus all day. Had my morning lecture at 10 and now I'm just updating stuff including pictures on facebook!!

Tonight we're probably going back to O'Neills so lets hope for a fun night out with the mates!

22 days until Liv and Ange arrive in London!!

love,
al
