23.09.11- A mishap

OMG this was a very messed up day ... But also so mixed up :D , it was full with ups and downs .. And the bigger the Up was the bigger the down was :D...

So first off , The Ups :)
The biggest up toady ,was obviously the sports day . I spend 3 h playing football - what can be better? ( ok a lot of things , but that's a story for some other day :D )
so that was like a big happy fun thing , and the other todays days up was the Disco night , actually the DISCO night itself was a huge DOwn , but the social part of it was uP...
So there were two big ups and two big downs :D , The first not so big but still I felt kinda sad about it. While I was playing football there were a lot of other things happening today , well that's actually why the both downs happened :( , because of the football ...
So lets get down to the business , shall we?
SO while I played football I missed the information fair, and I missed the tour around the Sports village , it may seem not a big lose , but still , I should just have woken up  a bit earlier and came to the tour and go rapidly through the information fair , and then still play football for 2 &1/2 h ....
So that was one thing, but the other was like huge down :(... but it needs like and introduction so here it goes :
I ended playing football at 15:00 , because that was when the sports day ended .. I was there with Hisham ... We both went home , cuz we were exhausted and hungry and thirsty and all :D , so without thinking I went to the bus and drove home ....  When I got home right away I had a chat with my mom and dad , and it took a a wail, after that i watched the season premier for The Office , and only after that I remembered what I was supposed to be doing today... I was supposed to be .. already at that moment I was freaking out ,like throwing stuff and  cursing ... The first thing what I did was I found this page , ye and if you fallowed the time , then this pretty much says it all :

I don't think I need to explain .. Or do I? Ok , so basically you see the big text in the box and you get the idea . The math is simple I am sitting in my room , its about 16:50 and I have been in my room from 15:20 ... So where is the time I spend doing the language test ? Nowhere :( . I didn't I missed it , I forgot about it , I am stuuuuupid :D , like how in the hell I could forget about it , when there was a huge paper on my desk (show in the picture) ... I have no Idea , no actually I have , and I explained what happened(before the picture) I was so involved in the sports day , that I just forgot about it....
It was actually the first day that I didn't just stand in my room and make (in my mind) a list of events I have to attend today( i was doing that every day) so the one day I didn't do that , I forgot about the things I really needed to do :(..
Ok so back to the time machine: its 16:50 I am freaking out , and I have no Idea what to do . I grab my shoes , grab my pants , and change my sports outfit... at that time I had like 3 chats going on inn Facebook and Skype , so I had to say goodby fast :D , and explain that I have to leave really fast...
I have only one guy I know in my hall that is also an international student and hes the only one I know the room number , and he was playing football with me so If he had to do the test , than he missed it also..... So I rush down , run to the other side of the building, and rush into his room .. I tell him everything ... As it turns out , he didn't have to attend the test ?!?! like what?? you can see clearly in the paper I posted : it says : its mandatory for ALL international students... so I am like ok , whatever I guess maybe it is only for the Students of Creative Arts school , but then what the hell? why are we so lucky... Ok so I leave Hisham in his room chatting with his cousin and run back to my room . There is Deb online ,so I ask her does she went to the test.. And no she didn't. I guess I was so freaked out that I made her freak out also :D , sorry for that,.. So ye she also didn't have to do it cuz she didn't have the test on her timetable as well , so those are already two other different schools that didn't need the test ... I send a message to her that I gonna go to the students center  and run down , then I run back up(I am living in the 3rd floor) ,cu I forgot the documents , I thought maybe I am going to need them, so then I threw a quick glimpse in the computer, and saw that Deb was replying that shes gonna go also , just to check ... So I wrote that we should meet outside, but Facebook has the stupid thing that when you push the enter it doesn't post the comment but just ,you know ,sends you to the next line :D... so I didn't post it but just made a new line , although I thought that I had sent it ... So I run down for my 5th time , I went to meet here at her hall, but she wasn't there , so I thought maybe shes already gone out somewhere ,and waiting me somewhere else or something... So I ran back to my room :D , and found out that I hadn't posted the comment and she had been writing stuff like : where did u go , why did u leave and stuff, so I finally posted the message that I am going to wait her down at her hall entry ,.... I waited for 2 min for her respond , but she didn't reply , so I thought maybe she has gone outside already, So I just run out again for my seventh time :D ,...
Of course she wasn't there , I wanted to wait here , but every minute I spend my time , could have meant that I miss the working hours of the students help service ,or students office working hours.... So I thought about running back to my room to check if she hasn't written anything back to me... No this time I didn't run back .. not for the 8th time :D .... I remembered which window was hers and just called for her . luckily she heard me ... LOL I had been so hectic , if I had just waited in my room the first time around , I should probably not have had to run around that much :D another fail for me ... Anyway  finally we went to the see if the student office is still open ... No it wasn't .... is the Creative arts school open ? no it wasn't ... Is other houses open ? no they aren't :(  ... Its a Friday  -everything is closed and everybody is back at homes already... :( ... so that settles it. I am not gonna fix this today... I thought maybe I should go to the De Havilland campus ( the other one , the one where the test took place) cuz maybe there is still someone I could talk to ... But luckily Deb's brain were working better than mine, so she just said that I should write emails to somebody, cuz if everything is closed here ,its gonna be the same there... thats true , and I remembered that the Paul guy( you can see that the poster ,has a name Paul's Newsletter) gave as u email ,so we can connect him whenever we need help . So ye we went back and I wrote the email, it was already something past 6 , so a very little chance of getting a reply form him today...

So after all that , I finally decided to make the damn lunch :D , cuz I hadn't had one , from the very morning , when I ate some bred and... I guess that was it ? .. i don't remember.. ou no I ate a sandwich , right... So anyway , I made myself a meal , and after that I felt a bit better, full belly always make you feel better... And my dad called me , and I told him everything ,and he comforted me, so that of course made me feel better as well...
Ye o that's the wost part ... I failed myself , I mean that is definitely not me -the guy who forgets things , naaa , I am not usually like that... Don't know what happened today :( ... I guess the exhaustion takes a toll on me ...

However, there was still a social event tonight planned, something called DISCO night .. I decide that I gonna go there just to take my mind off of the failure I was today :D ...
Before I even got ready , Harshil called me from outside my window , and called me out ( ye that sounds kinda old school- I mean , calling people at their window... But that's because I still don't have a phone number :D , gonna need to get one... )

So I got ready really quickly( actually not really cuz I could find my keys :D ( my room is kinda chaotic- paper and stuff everywhere :D ) , so  after that I went out and met them ... but as it turned out they werent calling me to go to the Disco , but just to hang around. I said that we should go though , and they agreed and then I needed to go back and get my ID card , cuz I remembered that you can get into the events only with the ID card, but when I got back , I couldn't find my hall hey , and I was unable to get inside :D , dammit not that now... Luckily though I met Hisham just outside the hall ,and he let me in ... So I ran back up ( which time was it 10th already ? - lol ) anyway I searched for my Id card like for ever ,and for  my Hall key even longer forever :D , while I searched I glimpsed that Deb and Harshil are already waiting for me outside, and I didn't want them to wait for me long , so i just threw everything upside down and finally found it ... Lol but then when I got down  again , there was Hisham waiting form me and he was trying to get me to go to the kitchen at the first floor cuz there was some kind  of party there , but I said I had to go meet Harshil , but he insisted I come to have some drink and stuff :D :D , finally , I explained normally that I need to go , ( because before that I was just messing up words and trying to catch my breath .) Anyway so I went outside and met them and we went to the forum , on our way I met Tomas , the guy that's doing VFX , I knew that he at least had to do the test . so I asked him about that ... and he told me that somebody had actually said that those who missed it will be able to do the test again next Friday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well that's a relief :) :), so that stopped my hart for pounding for some time , till I wen into the club , where the music was so loud and the beat so strong it just made your insides pound in the beat as well :D

So ye, at the forum I met Cari ,Jake , Jamie ,Nathan , Rocky  and others. We spent the time basically talking , cuz no one was very fond of the music they played ( it definitely wasn't DISCO music , just some club DJ , mixing stuff :D, and it was to loud for speaking :D) anyway , some of us went dancing , and after some time I and Deb and Harshil went away , cuz it was getting too crowded....
It was like the first day that the forum was open for everyone from the area not only students , so there were a lot of drunk people , and quite a bit British people , There were one girl who was from Hatfield called Natasha , and she was Asian ( ye sounds weird right ? for those Latvian people - Asian girl with Russian name born and living in England :D )  anyway she was saying that the next week is going to be crazy ,cuz all the local (UK ) student gonna be back and they are going to party all the time , and drink very very very much( that's what she said)  and also that even today there's going be a lot of drunk people after an hour or so ...
Yee we just decided to leave :D , not my place... I kinda tried to fit in the pub culture , but I really cant see myself fitting there , that's just not me ..

Anyway we and Harshil wanted to play some pool , so we went to the ELE house( another bar) but with a thousand time better music ,and only not so many people. Ye so we just played pool for some time  , and then went back home ... We saw 2 rabbits again :) , gonna have to take pictures of them someday...


Ok , so that's about it :D ... Ou today when I was playing football , one guy came to my and he said that he remembers me from the Games night , lol , and that he remembers me doing the belly dancing thing :D :D :D ,lol ... and ye I made some new friend on the football pitch , and that was nice as well...Of course one time asking their names is not gonna be enough :D , I still gonna need 2or 3 time to remember their names..

I found out that Deb has never been drinking (alcohol) , and that is kinda cool , I am not the only one , or I don't know If I can say anymore that I haven't been drinking in my life ... that makes me feel mad about myself and really regret that last week I did some drinking, cuz ye I wanted to be the guy who has never been drinking in his life also :( .... So good job Deb , keep it up! ...
But still (now I'm gonna try to encourage myself :D) I am still the guy who has never been drunk :) , cuz I haven't , I have been drinking some beers , but I have never been drunk ( like I haven't started to act weird or sway or something, or seeing double :D ) I have always stayed relatively sober :) .. So I am going to stay with that :) ... However that is not like the goal I am trying to achieve , I have chosen not to drink just because I don't like the taste of alcohol and I am not the type of guy who becomes suddenly very open and talkative when he is drinking , more like opposite ( or maybe I just haven't been drinking enough :D ) anyway drinking is not me .

I know what makes me feel happy and when I have fun, I should just stick to that :)

If there's one thing you can learn, when you are suddenly leaving your home , family and friends, and going to another country , its that you can find out who you really are !


P.S. (LIVE ) right now its 3:44 (sorry mom and dad , I gonna sleep in tomorrow (today) ).
There are like a lot of people walking around and shouting and girls screaming , and guys swearing , they are completely drunk , they are making some kind of picnic there :D , ouuu dammit I  just hope they gonna go away soon, cuz its not gonna be easy to fall asleep , when you can hear  a sudden loud laughter from time to time ...
3:48 man I can hear people vomiting :( ... :D I think I am going to close my window :D

Broadcast over :) pi pi pi
