Before I get into it. How good was Super Bowl 49! What a game. It made up completely for the embarrassment that was last year. Congratulations, Tom Brady. You deserve it, you legendary 6th round, maybe-GOAT, GQ model with a supermodel wife and a perfect life, hero god. Also, Idina Menzel should consider not doing any more live performances outside of the theater.
Looking forward to the draft and Pick #20.
Due to travel costs, I’ve decided to cram 95% of my euro-travelling into the 4-5 Months during Summer break. And since I haven’t really got anything interesting to post, I thought I’d just do a quick update on living in Sheffield.
+ Sheffield Hallam U. - I recently found out I go to the same university as Boromir, Ned Stark, Odysseus and the bad guy in National Treasure. (Pronounced Seen-Been or Shawn-Bawn)
- Even though I swear it spins the other way, the Coriolis effect doesn’t actually affect the flow of water in a sink or toilet.
- Minimum wage here is less than half of what it is back home. I got a job at an Australian-themed bar called Walkabout. I wish the wages were too, Australian themed.
- The big one. My passport has disappeared.
+ Since I couldn’t find an ATM anywhere around; I walked into the nearest store, grabbed a 29p bottle of water and tried to get cash out. Upon learning that they had a card minimum, I tried to put the bottle back before not one, but three different people in the line offered/insisted they buy it for me. The north, apparently.
+ It was colder outside than it was in the ice skating rink. Absurd.
+ Turns out cereal, eggs, pasta and frozen pizza are the staples of student living.
+ As is cheap whiskey. And British dating shows.
