The Weekend Review

Here is a quick summary of my weekend...

1. Friday night I was dead tired from working all day at The Hub. We didn't actually do much except serve wine at a drinks reception and decorate for a party that evening. So in the world of catering it was a very EASY day. On the other hand standing for 8 hours with only two 15 minute breaks really kills the legs and feet...especially have a long shift the night before.

Graham got here on Friday. Kind of felt bad for him because I was piled up in my bed when he arrived. AND I made him cook our dinner. hehe

2. Saturday...did another shift at the rugby match. Scotland played South Africa, and after leading for most of the game they lost by 3 points.

On a positive note I made £6 in tips. haha. That's huge! I would have made more but the cashier next to me and our runner all split our tips. The poor boy who ran around to help us get drinks deserved some money because I definitely got cross with him a few times.

Working as a cashier was much more fun than pouring pints because the people are hilarious. I had to card quite a few people, but one guy actually thanked me. haha. He said he was starting to feel old because no one had asked him for his ID in a while. You know I'm here for the people...just making people feel good about themselves.

3. Saturday night I had intended to just lounge on my couch which I did for a bit. BUT then my flatmate came home with his brother who is visiting. My flatmate completely does not understand the idea of if someone is watching the TV you let them continue watching their show and/or ASK them if the channel can be changed. Oh hell no! That's not what he does. He came in, changed the channel, ignored our request to watch a movie that we were about to watch when he arrived, and then became a know-it-all per usual. So G and I went to my room and hung out. Really is annoying to pay rent but mostly spend time in my room because I hate all the following...
- football (soccer)
- science fiction
- murder mysteries
- boy blow-em-up shoot-em-up style films
- superhero movies
- and the list goes on

4. Sunday I bought a cute new pair of flats. It was time. I have been wearing a brown silk pair I got at Old Navy last Christmas, and well they have just fallen apart. The sole is worn. The inside has NO support or cushion. And the silk on the toe is gone. So basically I look homeless when I wear them, but I have no other options except high heels and sneakers. I have worn all my flats out by walking everyday. haha. I guess I have to start investing in them since I don't have a car.
(I will take a picture of the new pair on my feet ASAP.)

5. I am developing a cold which completely sucks. My throat feels like sand paper and I keep coughing. :( This is made worse by the fact I'm supposed to give a presentation on Wednesday to the new MSc students about my dissertation. eek. I hope I don't cough the entire time. That will be terrible.

That's all for now. Much more to come!!!
