Yesterday was crazy - it started at 8.15am with pancakes before class, then it was my first full day of classes; I have 3 one after the other but they are spread right across campus (which is probably like walking from Headingley to the train station) with only 15 minutes to get there. It's ok while the weather's nice but when it gets colder I'll probably try work the bus system out! But, they all went well, seem really interesting, and I've managed to get most of the books I needed from the library instead of buying 12 I've only had to get 4, winner.
I was shattered by the time I got back, so just planned on going down the street for a free student dinner with Shannon & Michaela - the Americans who live next door. We met loads of people there and they told us it was the late night shopping lock-in at Target (kind of an asda type shop-sells a bit of everything) so we ended up running back to get changed and went there until 1am. Who needs alcohol when you can go shopping and set up a DJ desk in the middle of Target?!!
It's still crazy - every day something happens where I'm like WOW, they are crazy/hilarious/clueless. In my lesson today somebody thought I was Irish when I spoke and someone else got really excited because she'd been in France over Summer... close, but not close enough!
Just chilling out for a bit now, Raven brought loads of stuff from her apartment at home to use here so we now have a sofa, microwave, toaster, TV and Wii - living in luxury and we are now definitely the most popular apartment around here!! I'm going to a Knoxville night at the International house with Lauren, Annabelle and Georgia tonight; we get a free dinner (obviously-I've still not needed to go food shopping!) and meet families from around Knoxville, which should be a nice change. Then there's another free cookout!! With a hipster and hoedown fancy dress, so we're going to pop by and see the sites of that!
The plan is to go to a vintage fair and the mall tomorrow (wohoo!!) I really really really need some comfy shoes. Lucky that these beautys are in fashion here!

Then hopefully have a relaxing day on Sunday and do my homework (lol-feels like I'm in school again)!
CYA. x
