While I am studying abroad at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne for a semester, I figured a blog would be a good idea to keep all of my friends and family updated on my British adventures and a good way for me to not get too homesick.

Day 27
I woke up to a very sweet message on my facebook wall that made my day. I went to breakfast with the girls, then had a 2 hour lecture, turned in my cryptography homework, and had a Number Theory lecture. After turning in my homework I heard a few guys in my class discussing how their decryption produced a gibberish word, which made me feel comforted with my answer that did not make sense. I ran over to the Combined Honour's office to sign in on the international students census, I guess so our home universities know we haven't run off around Europe of something. I met Jen and Kate at the arches on campus and we began our shopping adventure. I needed an outfit to wear out, Jen needed a shirt to wear out, and Kate needed some groceries. With Kate being the closest to a local, we gave her complete control over where we shopped. We walked into the mall, she saw a store with cute dresses in the window, and she said "Let's go in here." She had never been there before, but it was a very good call on her part. I told the girls I would try on anything they wanted. I ended up trying on 6 dresses, and I saved my favourite for last. When I emerged in the last dress the girls were like "That's it! That's the dress you're getting." Then we made our way over to Kate's favourite store to find a shirt for Jen; we made her try on 12 different things. Shopping with the girls was so much fun. Kate led us over to 'Poundland' which is like a dollar store... except everything is a pound. For lunch we got sausage rolls, then we headed back to our rooms. I skyped with Matt briefly, napped, then went to dinner with the girls. I showered, then danced around while getting all dressed up. Before joining my friends in Jen's room, I had a family skype since it was President's Day, and I got to see my poor Sophia in a pick puppy cast. Still Sooooo Cute! Kate, Jen, Ashleigh, and I had fun dancing, taking pictures, and just goofing off (usually led by me) in Jen's room. We caught a taxi to the club Florita's and had a wonderful time dancing until about 1:30am.
