...7 (part two)...
Oh my goodness, was that really just a weekend? It seems that the last post happened to a different person or in a former life, seems so far away! :) But let's stick to chronological order... therefore Saturday afternoon:
After writing my last post we bought lunch and wanted to go to Parker's Piece but the park was crowded - we'd completely forgotten that it was the first England Match of the World Cup and they had put up a huge screen there! Of course these crazy English people were already sitting there in the sun more than two hours before kick off - not wearing any shirts, drinking lots of beer, healthy lifestyle! :P
Anyway, we didn't want to sit in the middle of this crowd, so we went back to the Eurocentres language school, where we had the exams. We met Pascal on the terrace and had a relaxed lunchbreak. Most of the others came back quite soon as well and joking and chatting with them all took away the nervousness. I was determined to make up for the Listening by doing well with the Speaking and the fact that Jelmer, the Dutch guy from our class, was my partner helped me a lot. We'd already done two Speaking mocks together and all the teachers called us an absolute dream team - we both talk a lot, there are no awkward silences and somehow our interaction is good as well. Before we went in, Jelmer went like "come on girl, let's kick some ass!!" and basically, that's what we did! Believe it or not, we even had fun in the exam room! :) The topics were rather easy (compared to some of those our classmates had...), all connected to "spreading the news". No wonder that we were in an excellent mood when we came out! :)
Afterwards, we sat on the terrace for some more time with all the others before going to Parker's Piece to see the last few minutes of the match. We had hardly arrived when the match was already over and all around us, everybody started screaming with joy, beer cans flying around (that's the way English people celebrate a won match... :)) - it was quite fun!
In the evening, Olga and I went out for dinner (had actually asked Pascal to join us because we wanted to go back to "ASK", the restaurant where the three of us had our first dinner together - but he couldn't make it, so we went there alone...) and then walked to the students' residence to celebrate Jelmer's birthday. It was so much fun and although we didn't have the intention of staying there long, it was 2 o'clock when I got home... We were all in the kitchen of the residence, they played music from one of the guys' laptop, we had drinks, crisps - and a lot of fun! It was obvious that everybody was extremely relieved to have the first part of the exams over and consequently, some people were rather drunk which only added to the fun we had! ;)
