in bristol

Wow - can't believe that I've been here a week, though at the same time it seems to been way longer. Mainly just been a week of fun! Got here last sat - mum and me drove up with all my stuff (yes there was a lot of it) - pretty easy journey - no roadworks/jams. arrived around 11 and started unpacking. The main problem with this was that my flat is at the top of the building - 4 flights of stairs - and my bags were really heavy. One of the first things I did in my flat was bend down to see if there were electrical sockets near the desk. Then I straigtened up and hit by head HARD on a shelf corner. Really hard - and it cained - and bled. And left a nice cartoon style bruise... lovely. Met all my flatmates thoughout the day - they're all lovely - really lucky. Whats odd though is that out of the 5 of us, 4 of us come from around the same area in london, and one of the guys nxt door as well - really odd. That night was a welcome night in the bar with free pizza - yum - there was a live 'band'(since when has one guy and his guitar playing covers been a band...?) and we just sat around talking and getting to know people. Then sun there was a school disco at our bar, followed by going to a club. Now my flat and the one nxt door couldn't be bothered to dress up... so we just went to the club in normal clothes. We were planning on going to the end of the disco in the bar and catching the bus in with them... but we missed them - we started following some people in school uniform who we thought were with the main party but they were also late. We ended up getting a local bus - and overtaking all the school unform people and getting to the club first anyway! Fun night :) Monday there was a greek toga bar crawl - so we decided to be anti social and do our own thing. We went to a bar called bar humbug (see what they did there...?)which is a cocktail bar which had 2-for-1 on cocktails - and they weren't really measuring the alcohol - so we all got a little tipsy...(which resulted in my friend doing cartwheels down the street (yes i have a video :p)). After the bar closed we went out and got free drinks vouchers to another bar in town - we got about 5 between the 4 of us - but still managed to get about 2 free drinks each - i'm not complaining :p
After that bar we decided to see if we could meet up with the greek toga people - so we went to the bar/club that they were meant to be in but it was closed. We ended up getting cheesy chips and a taxi home. Next night we were slightly more social, but we didn't join in with our hall in particluar - we went to a party @ bristol academy - was hip hop - but had a good time - tried to get a UBU bus back to our halls - but didn't appear so we walked all the way, which is uphill, very uphill. At least 45 min walk. We did of course get cheesy chips again lol. Wed we decided to be a bit more social and went to the bar for kareoke. Very funny indeed.
