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 112
Now that I am finally done with classes and stress free, I had hoped I'd sleep like a baby and catch up on that I had missed. That was not the case; I had the usual 8:30 wake up. I went to a cheery breakfast with the girls. We came back to our rooms and showered, preparing ourselves for a day of errands. Kate and I ended up in Jen's room while we waited for the other Jen to come. She turned up, then we had to wait for 12:30 since that is when she had said she would meet up with Anna. Since it was Antoine's last day, he showed up too, though I think he had hoped for more of a goodbye celebration than just running errands. First stop, Jen and I needed to go to King's Gate and figure out requesting our transcripts. They told us we would have to request over email since our results were not in. Next, we headed to Primark so Jen could get some cute colouring kit for her nieces. Just a sidenote, this day was miserable and raining the whole time. Our next stop was the Newcastle United store, where I wanted to buy a jersey for myself; I got the bright orange away jersey... matches my trainers quite nicely! After this, Antoine decided he needed to go, probably because this wasn't the exciting goodbye he had hoped for, oh well. Our journey neared its end with a trip to Tesco Express. Jen and I decided to get a Koppaberg cider and kinder egg for our ideal Friday night. We all trekked back to Leazes. In Jen's room, Jen, Jen, Anna, and I socialised, napped, and watched White Collar. It neared dinner time and Kate came for us. We all went to dinner, even Anna tagged along to talk. It was a disgusting meal though, I can't wait for my home food. After dinner, I went to my room to skype Matt. Jen came in as soon as I was done. Then, Jen and Liz, back from her daytrip somewhere, joined us. Liz had brought us all back something; she gave me a bracelet with little dangly mushrooms, it was very sweet of her. They left to get ready with Kate, and it was just Jen and I left. Neither of us wanted to go out, so we ate our kinder eggs and ciders. We heard Kate holler for us to come, so we did. We socialised and danced while they pre-drank, then we slipped away with Esther, where she cracked us up with her story-telling skillz and impressions. We asked her to join us in my room where we watched Bridesmaids, laughing hysterically. After the movie ended, Esther left and Jen and I remained watching White Collar. Jen was telling me some stories while playing with my hair, so I started to fall alseep. Once she noticed this, she decided it was time to leave so we could both sleep.
