“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”

London,
Wapping, Erin's place, 19.11.2012
I
woke up at 8AM. Kill me. Jesus, this was so hard. But Erin needed to go to
work. So I went. I went to Covent Garden first. And god, I am so awful and dumb
in the morning. It took me like 20 minutes to find a stupid Costa caffee. Uh
huh. Then I went to Trafalgar Square. I called B and it was so nice to chat a
bit with a friend. Then I went to Victoria to buy the ticket to Edinburgh and
holy cow, the price got twice bigger. I was in shock. No, no, no. I sent a
message to Erin, asking her if I could stay another night.
And I booked the
ticket for Tuesday. :) Then I finally changed the money – and OMG I was so
scared walking around with them. I wanted to arrive at the bank as soon as
possible. I wanted to cut the way to it, and ofcourse, I got lost. I came out
at the nearly end of Oxford Street. Geez. But ok. It was so beautiful with the
lights and all. They also made a freaking fake snow!! Amazing, really. When I
came to the bank I was so relieved :) I put the money on the account and the
problem was solved! Yeey :) I also saw A. We chatted a bit and they I went. God,
I was so tired. And it started to rain. Ugh. So I decided to go to Waterstones.
I sat in the Young Adult section and I read. I was there for 3 hours. I felt a
hell of a lot better when I left. :) Then I went to Erin's place and we watched
TV.
Morning
came too fast. I thought we were in New Castle and that I had more time to
sleep, but mother fuckers, it was 8AM and we were in freaking Edinburgh. Fuck
yeah. But I was so tired and sleepy. Ugh. I met with Imran for a coffee at the
University. After the coffee I felt like a normal person, so it was ok. I still
had no plan though. Imran went for classes and I stayed at the Starbucks. I
checked the hostels (Thank you very much Ines for the support and for calming
me down when I was freaking out – it was actually very easy then) and I've
found the cheapest hostel EVER, called The Hostel – imagination rules the
world, huh? Then I stayed there some more and then I went in the search for The
Hostel. And I got lost. Go figure. I called them and then I took a bus and with
the GPS and everything I managed to find The freaking Hostel. The room was
pretty nice. I said I would lay down for just half an hour. Uh huh, I woke up
at 7.30PM. I went for a walk to see the city. I drunk a smootie and when I
arrived on the top of Princes Mall I sat down. And I started freaking out.
Geeez. And then I was freaking out some more. And then my phone biped. I
checked it and it was Imran asking me if I wanted to have a drink. YES! Thank
you destiny ;) I went to the Uni campus and we had a beer and a cider. Holy
cow, 2.30 pounds for a Cider?! I died and woke up in heaven!! Yeeey! I wasn't
freaking out anymore :P We talked and it was really nice. I felt better about
everything then. Yeah, in that moment I knew everything is going to be ok.
I
woke up around 10AM and I prepared my stuff and took off to go to Uni. And it
was raining. I went to Costa and I called mom. By the time I arrived at Uni my
shoes were soaked and my socks were wet like I had took a shower with them on.
Ugh. Then I spent an hour searching for the office. Jesus I was so pissed off. And
soaked. Finally I've found it in the totally oposite way of the campus. And I
finally met Toni!! YEEY. Was about time. She is actually really nice. She gave
me a letter of confirmation that I applied at the Uni of Edinburgh. Then I went
to the Uni Coffee and got a messagge of Shuna saying if I wanted to see the
apartment that evening. I was sure. He said around 5PM. It was 2PM and I had
lots of time to kill. I drunk coffee and read Cinder. And my feets were coming back to life slowly. Around 5.30PM
I met Shuna at the Library and we went to have a drink. In a nice Scottish pub
:D Very Scottish. There were only men and one was playing the guitar and
singing. It was cool! And then we went to see the flat. Wasn't that bad – was actually
ok – the room was somehow big like my old room at home and the place looked
nice. And it's cheap. And then we decided to go out together to this party –
James Bond theme party. I was so on for it!! So we decided to meet later. I
went to the Hostel and prepared myself. I wore the dress :P And make up :P And
shoes :P And I was beautiful. I went for a drink at the other hostel and woah,
I drunk Mixed fruits Cider and it was very good. Then I met Shuna and his
friend Tony in a pub and then we went to this club. Which was very cool – the drinks,
read: Rum and Coke – were only 1.3o pounds!! Awesome, awesome! I don't even
know how many of them I drunk. Lots :P It was awesome. And there was this girl
that worked there, Hannah, and she was really nice! And I danced! I danced a LOT.
I had such a great time.
And also there were these stickers with all the flags of the world! And you've picked up yours and put it on yourself somewhere and so everyone practically knew where you were from! And they had the Slovenian one!! :) And then I noticed a guy. He was beside the DJ and I
really, really liked him! I actually spoke with him outside for a sec and it
was around 2.30AM that I decided to take action! I took a flyer and I wrote my
FB name on it. And I went to the guy and I gave it to him. He looked at it and
he had this puzzled expression on his face, but when got it, he looked at me
and said ok. So I went away. And after less than 5 minutes my phone buzzed and
I got a friend request on FB. Holy woah!! I was happy. I danced some more and
then it was 3AM and the night was over. And the rain was incredible. Fuck.
Diluvio universale would be the word. And I had no umbrella. I was so pissed
off. And I started running toward The Hostel. It wasn't even that far – about 10
minutes – but hell, I was soaked when I arrived. I went to sleep.
I
woke up feeling like shit. No hangover, but still feeling like shit. It was
Sunday so we took it as a Sunday day. Aleš and I spent the day in the office
with Pretty-boy. It was Pretty-boy's birthday. It was fun. Chilling out. Around
6PM we got really hungry and Aleš and I went to the Supermarket to buy some
food. We made pasta with pesto and cheddar and it was awesome!! We ate together
– me, Aleš and Pretty-boy. It was nice to finally eat something good and cooked
and not alone :P But then we got so freaking full that we needed a nap. So we
took a nap. Me and the Pretty-boy. It was nice :P
And then he needed to go to
meet some friends for his birthday. We were all in the lounge room feeling like
shit and then I decided I wanted a party. And I started motivating people to
have a party. And they were first like »nooooo still hangovered« and I was like
»sleep when dead!« lol and then I got up and said »I am going to buy alcohol
now, who wants some?« hehe and then 4 people gathered around me and off we went
to buy beers. Aleš bought a Russian Vodka and OMG it's the best Vodka I've ever
had!
(Aby you would have loved it too ;P) It didn't taste strong like Vodka
usually does and you could drink it like juice lol. And we had music and we
played pool and we danced and we chatted and it was really cool! I ha dan awesome
time! Then around 11.30PM the guy at the reception thrown us out of the lounge
room and we gathered in another room and I saw a guy with the computer and I
was like »hello, you're going to be the DJ-boy! Can you put on some music?« And
he did! And we had music again :) It was really awesome. Until it was about
midnight and I passed out again. Geeez, give a break. But whatever. I had fun!
:P
London,
kitchen, 20.11.2012
I
woke up with Erin. And I went to Tower Bridge. I went to Costa to take a coffee
because I seriously couldn't wake up. The weather was weird. So I called
Emanuela and asked her if I could come to the house, because seriously I didn't
know what to do with myself. She said
yes. And I was again in the best kitchen EVER. Drinking tea. I haven't done
anything special – just chilling out. Writing the blog. In the evening I went
to Victoria station to wait for the bus. At 11PM we took off to Edinburgh.
Yeeey. I fell asleep quite fast and it was actually not that annoying to sleep
on the bus :P

Edinburgh, The Hostel, 23.11.2012
I
woke up and went to Uni. I had a coffee and I read Cinder. Imran called me and
asked me for a drink, I said ok. He finished at 3PM and we met at the entrance
of the pub. He had some issues regarding something and we decided to discuss it
with a pint of Cider in our hands. After the second pint I was hungry and I
ordered a pizza <3 <3 Finally, I missed pizza like crazy. And that Uni
Pub is really cheap – and I love it! After 5 hours of talking and drinking I
was exhausted. I felt bad for leaving him, but I was really tired, so I went
home. Full party was going on at The Hostel. Woah, ok. I laid down for half an
hour and then I went to the Lounge room and it was pretty fun. I even met a guy
from Slovenia!! His name is Aleš. And he is cool. He wanted to go out but I was
still tired so I said no. I went to sleep.
Edinburgh, The Hostel, 24.11.2012
It
was a rainy day and I didn't really feel like doing anything. So I stayed at
The Hostel. And reading Cinder. I
finished it. And I started reading Tempting
the Player and OMG I became so frustrated and I really needed some happy time. So I took it. And I felt so much
better after :P :) In the evening Aleš bought some Wisky and we started
drinking. It was quite fun! The people at The Hostel are really nice and there
is this boy that works there and I'm calling him Pretty-boy and I think he
likes it :P I like him. I chatted with everyone and we were having fun. But
then I got sloshed and good God, I passed out around 11PM. Ugh. So much for
going out :P
