First off, GPS always ended about 50-100 meters from where the destination actually WAS. Which can be fine, but it's not if you're looking for a specific house in a neighborhood with dozens of lanes and side lanes. It's like, almost good enough but NOT QUITE.
So I'm in the UK now. Was completely lost for the first week or so, and probably spent way too much money. Oh well... I've drawn up a budget for the rest of it so hopefully I'll be fine. The first week is basically nothing important besides settling in. Apparently how they induct freshman into university/into halls is by offering a party every single night. I only went to like 3 outta 7 (?) so far, which is just as well since I'm really not THAT heavy of a partygoer and quite frankly 2 out of 3 of them have been... well not that great. So if you ever get to Manchester, so far I'd recommend the Pure club. That was really nice.
One thing that I notice in clubs thats different from Malaysian clubs. The absolute THRONG of people who are just dying to get a drink and, I'm guessing, get drunk. Seriously, you walk in and you cannot even see the bar. They're crazy. You have to shove through that mess to even order something. I liked it in Malaysia where it wasn't so insane? I reckon everyone who wanted a drink still got it there anyways, right?
Other than that, if you're still at home with the family, ENJOY IT! I fell sick earlier this week (along with... just about everyone except this one girl who rarely goes out) and damn. It was hell waking up feeling like shit, knowing I had a class to go to, then I still needed to do my laundry and buy something/cook it for food later. The good news is I had Friday off so I managed to take a nap of epic proportions and still get all my stuff done. I managed to eat by convincing my flatmate to let me 'learn' how to cook by watching her cook, then eating that. I think that'll only work a few more times though.
