Wow...sorry for the update retardedness...
Okay, so last weekend our whole class plus some people from Canada went to the places listed above! (except Halloween of course). It was hosted by a company called European Friends and it was a lovely 2 day trip...somewhat...The first place they took us to was Oxford, and it was pretty amazing! A lot of Harry Potter stuff was there like the Great Hall and The Library. It was where J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis taught and where Helena Bonham Carter went to school. I wish we could have stayed longer because there were a lot of other little shops and places to see! They took us around to a couple of other little towns in Cotswald that didn't really have anything to do with...well...anything. They were extremely kawaii but we didn't really walk through them as long/short (it depended on the town) as we wanted.
That night, we stayed in a Holiday Inn, which was amazing! It was so nice to stay in a hotel for once instead of a hostel. Nikita, Caroline, Shanna and I shared a room. It was so funny because as soon as we got there we turned the television on and watched random British gameshows and a UK version of Funniest Home Videos. We don't have TV in our flats so it was crazy how we went for the TV as soon as we saw it hahaha. We went to the local grocery store and bought microwavable food. When we got to the "public" kitchen we found out that the microwave was broken...figures...so, Erica came up and told us that the kitchen for the resteraunt in the hotel would take our food and microwave it for us! Yay! It took awhile but we finally got all of our food and went to our room to eat Indian food, mac & cheese, tomato soup and tea MMMMM! I felt bad for Christina and Mandi. They ordered Chinese and it took forever for it to come!
The next day, European Friends took us to Bath! It rained a little bit but not that bad really. It was livable. We had a fun time looking through all of the little shops and at all of the oldish bulidings! We wanted to go look at the Roman Baths but we didn't have enough money! Oh well. There were mixed reviews from our friends who went so we were okay with it in the end. After Bath, Friends took us to the one and only Stonehenge! It was so amazing! It was so mysterious and erie! There were black birds hanging all over it like creepers which made it even more interesting. Bahar, Caroline and Nikita were thinking of jumping the fence (aka small rope close to the ground) so that they could run up and touch Stonehenge (which wasn't aloud!). Buuutttt, Sanders told Bahar that she would get into trouble and get his students in trouble as well. She tried to argue with him saying that her ancesters were the druids but he didn't give in...she pouted her face and called him a kill joy. It was pretty funny.
Friday was Halloween! It was great! I was a zombie student! I bought some make-up at the local Halloween shop in Canters. Nikita was a vampire and I did her make-up as well as my friends Mark (fellow zombie) and Jake* (the Joker). That morning I got up early and made myself some eggs and toast while listening to Halloween music. Then I watch some Disney Halloween on youtube (my family would know what I speak of). Later that night we had a party in one of the flats and afterwards went to the Jolly Sailor for some chair dancing, wine spilling, candy munching fun! hehe. We decided that since it was a successful Halloween we should go to the local Kabab eatery and get chips and pizza. MMMM! Everyone else scattered afterwards but Nikita and I went back to my flat and watched SCREAM. It was great fun!
