The cinema experience

Today has been slow. Woke up around 9 AM after a horrid night where I hadn't really slept at all.
Not long after one of my friends wrote me, because we had agreed last night that we would eat breakfast together.
She came over around 10:30 AM and we had a late breakfast. After that I went shopping, again. My main goal this time was Forever21, and I found it.

Three stories, yes, three stories full of everything your heart and credit card would ever desire. Three stories so stuffed I actually lost sight of what I came for more than just once. I think I spent only an hour in there before I decided I had to head home.
During the afternoon I spoke to people back in Denmark, completely confusing my dad's dog who thought I was in the computer, poor thing.
After that I decided to put my newly bought workout clothes to good use, and I spent an hour or so in the Arc trying to make myself as tired as possible for tonight.
Now I'm just tired and hungry.

Wild the movie was surprisingly good, and the cinema experience over here interesting as well. The tickets on Tuesdays are only £5.90 which is very cheap compared to Denmark. There are all these interesting kinds of candy. Different kinds of popcorn, nachos, yes, nachos, and of course chips and chocolate. The cinema was extremely big, and Wild was running on screen 10, so we had to go up five or six stories. What surprised me the most, though, was no subtitles. They have become such an ingrained part of my cinema experiences in Denmark is was almost frustrating to watch a movie without, even though I never refer to them anymore.
Tomorrow me and some other exchange students are going to watch the Theory of Everything.

Getting lost

Of all the things I am here I think the thing I am the most is lost. Lost on campus, lost in buildings and oh so lost in the translation that is so missing between Scottish and English sometimes. It's not because I want to be insincere, but it's a completely different language! And then, 5 minutes after it dawns on me what the conversation was about and I spend the next 50 minutes cursing myself for being an idiot.
I still have the hope that I'll learn to catch onto the accent at some point.

Last night we went to the Erasmus party at Walkabout. It was a fun night, and parties over here always start at 5 PM. We played pool, and when the upstairs floor closed we went downstairs where people sang karaoke, which is something I have never seen before.
I walked back to the dorm with two other exchange students, and we were back around 10 PM.
Today has been slow so far. I went to visit the International Office, getting lost a couple of times. After that I went to shop for some necessities and groceries, not getting lost, at all. I then had lunch and a nice nap.

I managed to check my schedule, or timetable as it is called here. I don't have any classes, I have modules, and it seems my modules are only on Tuesday and Thursday. I think I'll just double check tomorrow to make sure, though.

Tonight the girls and I are going to watch Wild the movie at Cineworld. It's a very big cinema, only 8 stories tall, and with escalators in it. Needless to say I'm ecstatic to see this gigantic and beautiful building inside!
