Day 10 - some me time

The Grafton Centre - a cheaper shopping centre.

A view from a park on the way back to the centre of the city.
Not much to tell about today...

Had debates at school... it was surprisingly fun, especially as me and Richard agreed on most points. XD
Which reminds me, I have to do my homework.

After school we caught a bus to the Grafton Centre and to Primark. I bought myself sweat pants and a matching top, for only eight pounds. Then I walked back to the centre and went browsing to the market place; bought some nice bracelets for myself and then went to Starbucks.
There I sat, reading Dorian Gray and sipping my coffee, until I had to come back home for dinner. Nice day!

And I already packed, so I could be sure that my suitcase isn't over-weight and it isn't. Only 16 kg and we're allowed something like 20 kg. \o/

Off to take a shower now and to watch a film after that.

Friday the 13th

Surprisingly, today went as planned... Although I had - note, HAD - to go shopping today.
This is what I bought: (minus the umbrella that I forgot there)
Shoes and wallet from TKMaxx (£15+£14) and bag from TopShop (£28)
There was this guy playing drums on the street. He was brilliant!

The whole day we were planning tomorrow's trip to London. But probably I won't have time to anything but Madame Tussaud's. At he moment that's my priority. By my account it's going to take three or four hours - queue and all.
And at seven we'll go to see Wicked... But I still worry about the tickets - the worry-wart that I am. ^^' At home we'll be at half past one, latest. Yickes!

Anyway, we had another pub night today. This time we went to a pub here in Cherry Hinton - the place is called Robin Hood and Little John and the food was again delicious; I had a jacket potato with prawns and smoked salmon. Lovely.

And the girls had invited Volker (a German guy from our class) and this other guy to join us and we had fun! I've just come home and had a shower. I must soon start sleeping so I can get up early enough tomorrow.

A walk in a park.

Ivy. It's everywhere.

A path to a secret garden.


Guess who has the songs from the Disney film in her head?

That's Volker on the left, then the other guy (didn't catch his name) and Ama.
