Reggae Reggae

Day 5 - This was another day of not doing much. We went to the international office to register and my Macedonian housemates were there too. They never said a word to me. Wow. However, meeting up with a fellow Nottingham University student did remind me that there were four of us in total. The 4th was supposed to be on my plane... I never saw her..?? Where was Lucy?!?!?
My Brazilian housemates arrived and they are absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, my room isn't. It's far away from uni, very small, no window and noisey too. I had asked to live in the same place as Charlotte but apparently there was no space left.

Day 6 - After having planned to go to the 8.30am lecture and waking up more towards 8.35am we decided to go back to sleep before moving Charlotte's things into her new room. When we got there, the landlord said ".. and this can be your room Lindsay." WHAT?!!?!?!? You mean there is a free room in the party house where everyone wants to be, where I get a huge room, 2 beds and can do pretty much what I want with it, along with students from all around the world so I can practice all my languages????? Yes.

Oh.. but then.. then I had to tell the lovely housemates that I would be leaving. They understood though. It was heartbreaking!!

We all sat outside drinking, playing guitar and such like when at around 2am someone said we we're going out! Same place as last time but more people! A reggae room where you went in for a dance and came out stoned. You couldn't see the person standing next to you for smoke. Guess who we found. Lucy. She had actually missed the flight!!!!  Glad she was alive still..

Before I came to Porto I broke my sunglasses and so I went on a mission to find them. On this day, having found some the day before and planned to spend some time on the beach, the sun decided not to burn me any more. It decided to rain instead. And so.. this is me trying my new sunglasses on... in the dark.

Day 7 - A really good night out and only a slight cough to wake up to from all the fumes! My first night in my new and final room for the next errrmm.. 5 ish months. After waking up at around 12pm and doing nothing til 4pm, I decided to venture out solo without my partner in crime and went straight back to the shops to buy things to deck out my room and do my first weekly shop, Porto style.

And I end this blog post on a plea. My room is very, very large. If you have seen my living room at home then it is bigger than that by a long way. This means that there are many walls that need to be covered. If you would like to send me things to put on my walls.. that you have made yourself or something personal then get in touch so I can give you all my new address :) xxxx
