Working on stuff at work. Natural thing to do. Then we left and hit the pub where we met up with some of the other physics kats who were quite cool. we went over to ben's house where he just bought a wii which was my first time at. that thing is soo cool! i am on the verge of buying one :) nah i have figured out my new life calling. i am only buying minimal amounts of food, no clothes, maybe a trinket or two, but other than, only plane tix. maybe accomadations and whatever. i met this guy who travels a lot and only brings out 25 of whatever currency, so he doesn't go bankrupt. genious i say. anyways, we played wii watched this piddly little firework show then carried on home. it was cute and a nice chill night!

so i woke up when i felt like it. because i could and ventured into the city centre. it was quite cool, everyone was out since there was a festival or something. i found this hippie fair by the cathedral. it was a nice little craft fair. i went into the cathedral and it wasssss sooooo coool. totally cool architectuure and stuff. i also went into the museum down the road and that was nice too. they actually had stuff from hawaii in there. i was like oooh home.

i randomly found this castle place and this really cool park. i took a million pics, so you can check em out later. oh yeah and i had some fudge on the side of the road.

then the unfortunate but not really i found this place called primark which is the uk equivalent of ross. so i spent the money i didn't have but they were on practical things like an umbrella, rain jacket, towel, etc. i think this is the point where i realized that i am never buying clothes again. i don't think that i have ever said that in my life, but i am changing my ways.

i had to hurry back because i was meeting suzie and a bunch of people for a night out. i took a shower and ran out the door. we had a couple of ciders at this pub that had a basement with a skeleton in it. really random but whatever. then we went to the cavern where they were having indie night. that was fun good music. suzie and i had waayy too many double vodkas with black currant and soda water. some how i got back home after a night of fun! suzie is seriously my partner in crime. she is hilarious!!

%%%%%%%% SUNDAY = TOUR DE BATH %%%%%%%%%%

so jenny, my flat mate and i decided that we were going to bath on the 10 am train. who knows what time that i got home but none the less i was not feeling too hot in the morning. so in a mad dash, i threw some clothes grabbed my wallet, camera, and an umbrella. i threw them in jenny's bag because i was like i don't want to carry anything really and we were only going for the day. so we ran to the station which was not fun and just made it on the train. being on a train with the trees and all in that state, blah not fun!

we made it to bath in one piece and had a creme tea which was pretty okay, not as good as my first but it was in the oldest house in bath. oh i forgot to mention the wonderful train mix up that i had. so being the train expert that i am, i accidentally bought a 1st class one way tix to bath instead of a round trip one like i wanted. which i didnt realize until the lady was checking our tix. sooooo we got and try to see how much a one way back would be and it would have been £ 30= $60! i was like ouch! what about next morning. that would have been £5 and i was like that is cool, ill just stay in a hostel for a night and that will be fun. so i found a hostel and then we set off on our day.

we walked around a bit and went into the roman baths. IT WAS SOOO FREAKIN RAD!!! i mean i thought i was going to just see some pool and be done with it but it was this huge extravagant museum. i loved it. i reccomend it to everyone in the world. so i took a million pix that day but my camera died at the end of it! i was like oh hell. left my battery at home along with my phone since i didnt want to lose it. so i was like oh man only mental pix from now on!

we walked around the city centre of bath. really cool place. we saw these massive trees and that was wicked! it is a cute little city. anyways jenny had to leave, so i carried on looking around. i found this park called sydney park and it was bbeeaaauuuttifful. so i hung out under this really cool tree for a while. just laying there and looking at the structure of the tree. amazing.

so i wanted to see university of bath and i figured i could walk there it would be fine. didnt look too bad on the map. oh but the map was not to scale and left out the fact that you basically hike up the side of a mountain and you dont even know if you are on the right road and there are a bunch of little roads that throw you off too. so i made it there and it was quite nice. there was a rock climbing wall on the campus and a massive sport facility.

back to the city centre, which took me forver!! and it was getting a little creepy cuz it was getting dark. but it was fine i only had to ask for directions once and i was going in the right direction anyway. so i made it back to the city centre and started watching tv thru a pub window. these guys invited me in and i hung out for a little bit. they were really cool and were telling me a lot about london and travelling and stuff.

left there and made it back to the hostel and hung out in the late night dungeon. just a cool place to hang out. i met a bunch of cool people where we talked to like 2:30 in the morning. this one guy went to like 56 cities since he graduated in may! so i was just talking to him about his experiences, very useful info on places to go. he was into political science and was more keen on the situations. i met these two irish girls who were so lovely and we were talking about getting married, being a bionic women and sharing our experiences with life. they were really really cool chicks.

i woke up in the morning and ate the continental breakfast. that was nice for a hostel. and then i jumped on my train. being that i was freezing from the night before and the sun comes up at 5, not the best sleep. so i fell asleep and missed my stop! seriously these things drive me crazy. so i was a fugitive and hopped on a train to go back to exeter. it was hilarious. i hiked up the hill and now made it to work. same clothes, took a shower though, and a cheesy british flag bag i got at a store there.

why would we expect any different right?! oh this is just hilarious!!!!

Haha, sounds like an awesome weekend. Reading your wild and crazy adventures brightened my day a bit. Here it is only 9:45 and I have been working solid for over 2 hours and feel like no headway, but your story was awesome. Oh, and (little) school must be out, because the older guys brought their kids in today, and there is something remotely scary about a 7 year old soldering, you know, with an 800 degree soldering iron and all. And riding around in lab with those shoes with the wheels in them... that can't be safe. Or Kosher.

I feel like I could make up a fantastic story, purely fictional with witches and dragons, unicorns and elves, and somehow you would have a story to top it. Cant wait for the pictures!

hihi hey britt! that train thing, don't worry about it, I used to do it regularly.. didnlt even need to fall asleep, only needed a good book and I'd just forget to get out in those three minutes they seem to give you! I do it on busses too! Your stories are so fun to read! Oh, and Jon, I'm sure if you;d make up a story with whcihces and dragons it would fit right into the sceme of things!
