Lazy Weekends

Ahhh the closing to another weekend. The start of another week.

Since last weekend was quite a lot of hustle getting to Exeter and spending time with best friends I decided to have a really simple weekend. Glad that I did! It’s been mostly sweat pants (back home it would be pyjamas but sweat pants are close enoughJ). Friday night I went out for a bit to celebrate one of our second year’s 18^th then SOSH afterwards. There was a Disney marathon being played in our house that night, so after SOSH I was sat on one of the back couches with one of the second years in our house, Kristian, talking more than watching the Lion King. Ended up falling asleep on the couch next to him- wooooooo crazy Friday night! Just what I needed though.

Saturday I had lunch with my tutor at his house with his wife, the other tutees in my group and her tutees also. We spend a lot of time meeting with our tutors as they get our monthly reports* and will eventually write our teacher references for university. However we hadn’t had any time to just sit and speak socially so I found the two hours of croissant-eating, sandwich-making really worth it. We even met their two guinea pigs and cats!

I had planned to get all of my homework done on the Saturday and be super productive but, plans change, and I’m glad they did. So Saturday was the Open Day for the British students to come and see the campus. A lot of first and second years had signed down to give tours for these groups of people but I knew I had a lot of work to get done so I didn’t. However one of my second years came and told me that there was a girl who goes to school in London but is actually from the Grand Cayman that was there with her dad and asking for me!  I went down for a couple of hours to meet her and show her around the campus. It was really nice to see another Caymanian, sadly she’s 14 so wouldn’t get to be my first year. Though passing down the baton to her would be pretty sweet too.

Night time I ended up participating in the Disney marathon as Pocahontas (my favourite) was playing. What they do is put a blanket up on one of the walls in the Day Room and bring in a projector to watch the movie.

Finally today I’ve been getting that work done. Gotta do what you gotta do. Most of the day was spent on a 1500 word-English Literature Essay. Proud to say the first draft is done bobo XD This week will probably be quite hectic of tests and such as our first monthly grades are due in on Friday. Baghhhh.  Next weekend should be a good weekend as it’s one of my friends, Isabelle from Amsterdam 17^th on Saturday and my 17^th on Sunday! YAY!
