Today marks my fifth week of being here. I’m getting really bad with titles for these blog posts as I get into a routine. I might go out of town this weekend to change it up.

Today, I got up at 13:00 and did laundry. After I finished doing laundry, I went to Ryman and bought the USB cable I needed for the printer. Afterwards, I went back to the flat and watched hours of Netflix. I also started to see how Battlestar Galactica bears a close resemblance to Blade Runner, the film we watched last week for film studies. I had my last pizza tonight for dinner and an now out of food. I should probably go grocery shopping sometime.

Today I didn’t have any classes so I went to town for school supplies. On the internet, I found an office supply store called Ryman Stationary near the city centre. I looked around on their site and found that they sell quality fountain pens too. I get overly excited for office supplies. I got on the bus and headed to the city center.

At Ryman, I found all the binders, paper and, sleeves that I will need for the semester. They also had Lamy Safari fountain pens at an excellent price. Only 16 pounds. In the US this translates to about $25. This same pen sells for $35 dollars in the States. Now, you see why I was so excited. When I got to the register, I found that with my NUS extra card that I would get 12.5% more off of the price. After leaving Ryman, I went to Primark to buy another towel to use at my scuba lesson on Saturday. Then I went to Barclays to get cash and change for the laundry machines back at Clanny.

After leaving Barclays, I went back to Clanny where I watched a few episodes of Battlestar before I went to bed.

Today I started of at the St.Peter’s campus for my film analysis seminar. After this class, I caught the bus to the City campus.

At the City campus, I ate lunch and then went to my Spanish class. In Spanish we learned basic greetings and names. It was kind of boring though as it’s a review from when I was in high school.

After class, I rode the bus back to my flat where I had spaghetti for dinner.

Tonight was the student raid at the bridges which is basically students only and a ton of discounts. I went to buy a textbook. Lame, I know. I didn’t end up buying the textbook since it would be much cheaper on Amazon. I did end up buying the Martian and the Maze runner books. Also, at this book store I get 10% back since I’m a student.

Getting a bus back to clanny was even worse than usual. I flagged the bus drive but, he kept on going. After 45 minutes, I finally got onto a bus and made it back to the flat where I watched Netflix until bed.
