I had a pretty boring day on Friday. We went to the cinema to see The Town, about bank robbers in Boston, which was really good. I resisted the urge to go out and managed to get a rare early night!
On Saturday, there was a local festival called Larkfest. It reminded me of Whitehaven Maritime Festival etc. because it was basically local businesses, food suppliers and craftspeople in white tents lining the streets. Anyway, it's considered a big deal here and it's one time of the year where people get really drunk all day! We went round to Joe's apartment at midday and drank and played beer pong for a couple of hours before we headed down to Lark St. where the festival was. In all honesty, it wasn't anything special, just lots of tents and lots of people. We stopped off at a bar called Bombers and ordered burritos which were absolutely huge but extremely delicious. We also got a free huge margharita because it was the birthday on Emma's ID. Afterwards, we headed back to Joe's for a couple of hours then went to a few bars. Overall, I'd been drinking for 13 hours so I didn't feel great but surprisingly didn't have a hangover the next day!
On Sunday evening, I went to see The Gaslight Anthem with Emma. The venue was in the middle of nowhere so we got a lift off a friend of someone from the radio station. The venue was really strange because there were bars and tables everywhere but I really enjoyed it, they were really good live and they played all of their songs that I knew.
On Tuesday, I went to the radio station for some training but didn't learn much, it was mainly about the rules of the station and not how to be a DJ. I also went to play tennis in the afternoon on an indoor court which is in an area called The Bubble. It's an airlocked area so your ears pop when you enter and exit and the air feels strange inside, I prefer playing outdoors! In the evening I went to WT's with Emma, Josh and Alex and we met our American friend Ellen. It was a nice relaxing evening and I managed to get home quite early. I gave into temptation and tried Buffalo Wings for the first time and I actually really liked them!!!
I got my World at War test result back and somehow managed to get an A - I was panicking about it and only expected a D or a C at best. In my Legislatures class, we're in the middle of doing a simulation of passing a bill in Congress which is actually more interesting than it sounds. I'm on the mock Appropriations Committee so I get to decide where the money goes which is nice. We're going out tomorrow night for our Dutch friend, Naomi's 22nd birthday so it should be fun!
That's about all I've done in the last week, maybe I'll have some more interesting news next time!
