Pub Crawl and McDonalds!

Hi! So tonight was the Ted's (Edwards Hall) Girl's Night Out Pub Crawl for 2010! The theme was black and white and something bright. Buuuuuut it kind of failed because it was ugly, AND raining hard outside. Here's Jess, Katie, Talia, Claudie and I before we left! Caz was a wimp and stayed home tonight to do schoolwork!

This is a group photo of most of the girls who went...and a couple boys who snook in. I'm on the left side, but you've gotta find me yourself its too hard to explain! As you can see, it was raining really hard so a couple girls took the poncho option. Not me, of course!
Here's us at our first pub... CBD, I think it was called. They had $2.50 champagne sooo we had a couple of those but none of us could drink much since we have 8am classes the next day! Look Dad- I'm balancing my social life WITH my school work! You proud?
A reeeeeeally huge and cool peace sign in the middle of one of these creepy alleys we had to walk though.
Soooo eventually, we all ditched the rest of the girls and made a stop at MCDONALD'S!!!!! Oh my God, it was like heaven to have fast food for the first time in like 3 and a 1/2 weeks! You don't even understand! Anyway- here they call McDonald's "Mackers" (pronounced Maccas). Its weird. No McDonald's, or Mickey D's- just Mackers. Regardless- WONDERFUL way to end the night.

While the 4 of us were walking around town, we saw some really sketchy gangsters and thugs so we decided to be smart and we called Caz to come pick us all up. We owe her one, but still- great choice. It was creepy. Once we got back to the dorms, my corridor had a lovely surprise waiting for us! Someone had covered our whole hallway with paper towels and in front of all the boys' doors it had rude remarks about them. It was totally juvenile but the things they said were SOOOO funny! Unfortunately, I can't post any of them on this blog because they were all pretty vulgar- but just take my word for it.... it was a good laugh!

All in all I'd call it a pretty successful night in Newcastle! Tomorrow I have to wake up for breakfast, and then go to a lecture, followed by a group meeting, and then 2 tutorials. LOOOOONG day- but I guess I can't really complain since it's kind of like making up for every other day of the week I have off. I don't know WHY I have been so homesick this week but I'm starting to work through it- which is good. Things have been really fun here lately! I love you guys!
