| First off, note to self: drunk xanga posting = bad...especially when you tell everyone your drunk, I should at least be stealthy about it in the future (*shakes head*). Anyway, now that my time in London is coming to an end I've been trying to see as much of the city as possible and even though I know it quite well I still managed to get on a bus going the wrong direction...but I redeemed myself later when I gave proper directions to blatant tourists, HA! Anyway that's the extent of my exciting adventures...for now. Cheerio! (haha...you can't help but laugh when a grown British man uses that)

| Welcome to the drunk edition of 'Vicky's most recent Xanga post' (strangely, out of all the times I've been drunk, I think this is the first time I've written on here under the influence). Well I only have about a month left in London, which I find quite sad, but at the same time I don't have the same fear of returning home as I did a couple months ago. I think being here has finally given me the self confidence I've lacked for a long time, which will hopefully stick with me when I leave. Oof I think that's enough self reflection for one night...anyway I miss all of you back home, and can't wait to see you again!!!

| I've
learned a few things since I've been abroad and now I'm making a list so I
remember them all, here goes:
1. The study abroad office was not lying at orientation when they said that the
pints are larger here and that they will get you...I've been had and my head is
retaliating against me.
2. Staying up late (approximately 4am) one night is just the beginning...almost
2 months later and I'm still staying up that late.
3. Running to get more alcohol before the store closes, while intoxicated and
having to use the toilet at the same time, is never a good idea, no matter how
important more alcohol is to you.
4. Do not tempt the monkeys on the Rock of Gibraltar with food and then attempt to
conceal it from them...they are extensively trained in full cavity searches and
will use force*, if necessary, to take it from you.
5. 'Certain' British men live up to the stereotypes they have been given in my
homeland.
6. Getting mail from far away lands will never be this exciting again, so milk
it for all its worth (this may include public gloating and rejoiceful dancing).
7. Look both ways before crossing the streets no matter what direction the
crossing tells you to look...and if you're going to potentially get hit by a car during this process make it an Aston Martin or Ferrari so it looks good.
8. Last but not least...it is not below oneself to sell alcohol to desperate
flatmates with certain terms and conditions (e.g. snogging or sexual favours).
Here endeth the list, for now........
* force includes, but is not limited to the following: scratching, biting,
pinching, pummeling, dive bombing, poo flinging and rock throwing | | |
| Wow xanga I have neglected you. Hmm lets see, I just got back from a fabulous week in Spain with some awesome people. We went to Granada and saw the La Alhambra, an amazing palace. From there we drove down the coast and stopped in Gibraltar. Where one of the guys I was with got attacked by a rabid pack of monkeys who stole his cookies and then proceeded to fly from the roof tops almost on top of me...very scary. We also got to watch the sunset over Africa from Spain, which was beautiful. I also gained a new nickname while there, Cabasa Mierta (aka shithead) because a bird pooed on my head (not happy with that souvenier at all). But yeah that's what I've been up to, now I'm recovering from my Spanish sunburn...yay! Cheers!
beautiful Espania!
