Work is boring. I have to get out of bed, and it's COLD, and sleeping in a giant jumper and a masai blanket doesn't help. I sit at a computer mindlessly clicking things all day. BUT it's money and that money will be made into a classroom roof and so that makes me happy :) Plus, it's something to do all day (as mindless as it is). I did some much more exciting 'work' on Saturday, waitressing at this beautiful wedding in a big white marquee with all my friends :) We dressed up all posh, in black-and-white, and wandered around balancing plates of canapes ("chilli pineapple?"), serving huge white plates of guinea fowl, and trying to minimise the number of shiny forks sliding onto the floor every time we had to clear everything. There was a ton of pudding left over so we all ate some AMAZING chocolate torte and fruit tiramisu, and gleefully harvested all the posh chocolates the guests had abandoned. Then, when we finished at 10pm, we joined the dancefloor with the live band, bouncing up and down and screaming the lyrics to 'Mr Brightside'. It was awesome, and we got paid.
Then yesterday there was much excitement as it was SUNNY for the first time anyone could ever remember in the history of being in Bristol, SO, we all went up to the downs and played ultimate frisbee, with the setting sun casting long tree shadows over us all :) We gained a player from the Bristol University Ultimate Frisbee Team, who stopped, stared, asked "do you know what you're playing?" and thankfully joined our team. We're useless, all running around and knocking each other over, but it was hilarious.
