So. Lots of things going on since I last posted.
Remember when I was talking about personal statements and UCAS? Yeah... my personal statement is too long. And I can't cut it down. WHO HAS A PERSONAL STATEMENT THAT IS TOO LONG?! Me, apparently. So, I have to sort this out.
I went to Oxford University to visit Jenna (my awkward moose/midnightteablogs) who's studying at Lincoln College. We went to see S Club at this AWESOME club that has so many names but everyone calls it Park End. It was pretty amazing. I was kinda disappointed at the fact that S Club only did three songs, and they were supposed to do a meet and greet but we didn't get told when/what room (the club had multiple rooms - we were on the Cheese Floor) it would be in - unless you constantly checked Facebook, so we missed it. But that was okay because we had fun dancing and drinking and eating fries and curry sauce from Hassan's. Seriously. YUM. Those of you in Oxford, if you haven't gone to Hassan's, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Anyway, it was great to catch up with Jenna, since I hadn't seen her in about a month and a half (which is long for us, okaaayyy?).
I had to take the Oxford Tube up to Oxford and then back again. Contrary to people's beliefs, the Oxford Tube is not a tube but a coach. Yup. That confused me too. On my way to Oxford, I couldn't find the bus stop. I mean why can't they have clearly sign posted bus stops? Noooooo... let's just leave people to flounder. Then on the way back, neither Jenna nor I could find the bus stop.... Partly because we were on the wrong road..... *Insert embarrassed face*..... Once I was actually on the coach back to London, there was this little kid, maybe about three or four years old, who was singing at the top of her lungs and was as high pitched as a dog whistle (except I could still hear her). This makes me sound like I hate kids... and I don't exactly hate them... I don't particularly like them either but imagine that you might be slightly hungover? Or just really tired? Aaannnnndddddd yup.
So, yesterday, all my friends came down from uni to see me and each other so we could celebrate my birthday (IT'S TODAY, I'M 19!!!). We went to this place on Great Portland Street in Oxford Circus called The London Cocktail Club and it's kinda grungy/dive bar-ish but it's pretty cool, and you have to go down these dark stairs to get into the club. They've got good drinks - even if they are pretty expensive (probably average prices for the middle of London) - but don't go looking for the usual alcohol and mixers, they don't tend do those (well, they have the usual alcohol but they don't so simple drinks). They don't have a dance floor but they encourage you to dance at your table (if you can find one) and they play mostly old school music from all sorts of genres, so LCC is right up my alley. I loved it. And I loved catching up with my friends. Ahmad wins for coolest, capturing my inner soul essence present. Sorry, guys. Shoyab, I was wearing your present so you can't say a word. But, I have to thank all my friends because you guys are awesome and I've missed you all so much. And I can't wait for Christmas when you're back here, and saving me from Krupa. Joking. Probably.
Here's some photos:

Birthday Celebration:
And when my photo of the awesomest present ever actually uploads (curse you, Apple), I will show the llamas of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or, you know, you guys.
So, llamas, that's pretty much been my week. How about yours?
