End of Summer

Ok the summer has officially ended. Last night I was woken up by the remnants of an Atlantic hurricane trying to rip the wall off my block of flats and today the weather has been average to poor. I have been reliably informed that it will rain here this winter... lots. Like with the lack of girls at Imperial College, they don't tell you that at the open day.

But the weekend was awesome, nearly did a triple backflip on Friday night as I stumbled (appropriate word) apon a club playing hard house music at 5am. I decided the acrobatics were a little over the top, so instead I settled for having a few drinks and a dance. But I was very happy about it I can tell you.

Saturday was also a good night out, found another new bar that does funky house and is therefore full of especially goodlooking girls. However, I don't have a set of earplugs here and any more than about 45 minutes of that drivel will probably kill me. So I was in there for about 30 minutes and upon leaving rushed to the nearest food shop to consume some dead animal in order to counteract the negative effects of the girly music.

Sunday was absolutely fantastic and I wish every day could be like it this year. All the Erasmus exchange students went down to the Primera Playa de Sardinero to participate in general frolics & all the fun of a group hangover. The weather was spot on and the waves were pretty awesome for the surfers. The division between the Germans and the rest was immediate as they sat down next to each other in a group that was close to but not exactly part of ours. So we played them in a big game of beach footy and (obviously) dominated them with yours truely being completely pivotal and busting out some Rio de Janeiro styles. Set up all the goals and just generally ran around being a stud. Brilliant.

Had a poker night with the lads last night which saw me come 4th out of 5 (not happy) but at least we're not playing for money yet. Did the classic bloke thing of rating all the ladies in the group, creating plans of attack, etc etc. Good banter.

And tonight I've got my first rugby session of the year so I've got to get a move on. The photo is of the beach we were at on Sunday. Beautiful eh?
