Home II

Going home the day after my last night in Cardiff... probably not the best idea. I left Cardiff at about 4am I think, so I didn't get to bed until about 5am, and I had to get up at 8am to pack, ready to drive back at 10am. I was doing ok until we stopped to get petrol and suddenly I felt really sick. Don't be alarmed I was ok after 20 minutes and my car stayed clean.

Pretty sure I remember everything but then again I always think that until someone tells me something I said or did which I have no recollection of. I know I drunk half a litre of vodka and then had a double vodka and coke (it was only £1.50) at Metros. Considering how drunk I must of been I think I did pretty well. I danced a lot so I was pretty sober by the time I got home and when I woke up I felt pretty rough but I still managed to pack and get ready.

After the stressful journey I am back in my 2nd home. Only Giulia is here atm but everyone else should be getting back this weekend. I'm excited to see everyone but a bit sad that I have to revise and won't be able to go out. I'm already looking forward to finishing the exams so I have an excuse for a huge piss up. I'm basically blogging so I don't have to revise. Not a good plan but I figure they're probably beyond saving so I might as well give up now.

Hope you're all coping now that I'm gone. Make sure you come visit me lot's. I'll be home in a few weeks to see Adam off so we'll have to hit Cardiff again. It was pretty epic on Wednesday.

That is all :)

Caerphilly

So I han't really blogged much in Exeter but I've been home and I decided to do one for old times sake. It's making me a bit nostalgic actually as it's exactly the same as It was before I left.

I've been home for two weeks now and I've already slipped back into all the old patterns. It was weird at first and it felt like more of a holiday than a visit home but by the time i'd been stuck in the house for a few day I had settled back in. I'm glad I've been going out more since Christmas. It would of felt like a bit of a waste of time if I hadn't made it to a few parties and caught up with everyone. In fact It's forced me to be better than normal. I've seen Anna and Eliot who I hadn't seen for ages before I left for Uni let alone when I was actually there.

I don't really have much to say about the goings on. I could relay them all but if your reading this you were probably there anyway so it would be a bit pointless. Needless to say I had a great time every time I was out. I forgot how much fun our house parties are. True they are not your typical party but that made it better. I can go to party anywhere. And aside from parties it's just been nice hanging out with people I haven't seen for a while. Going to Cardiff has been nice, it's changed so much since I left I feel like a bit of an outsider so I'm glad some poepl stayed behind and can take me around lol.

My only regret is that we didn't go to the pub. It was quite a common occurance before I left and I really enjoyed it. Would of been nice to have a gathering there but ohh well. Tonight we're all going to Cardiff which should be fun. It's going to be weird comparing it to Exeter. Those of you who've been up will know we have pretty stellar night's out, well technically Adam and me didn't make it out of the flat but still... we had fun? Right?

Tomorrow I leave, hopefully not with a hangover. I'm excited to go back and see everyone. I feel more at home in my room in Exeter than I do here now, which is kind of sad I suppose. Only Giulia is home atm so I'll have to wait for everyone else to get back but at least it will give me some time to revise. I'm gonna make more of an effort to keep in touch with people now i've settled in and the excitement has gone. Hopefully more people will come visit cause Exeter is pretty awesome. Sadly I can't have too many people at once, unless Beth is willing to accommodate some. Anyway the point is you're all welcome to come eat my food, drink my alcohol and share my bed, not in a biblical sense obviously(?).

Farewell Caerphilly. I'll see you in a few weeks. It's been a fun visit.
