We Gon' Run This Town...

So here I am blogging after being bugged ENDLESSLY by V. Gosh anyone that knows me, knows that I am the worlds biggest procrastinator/bum but when I finally do something its worth the wait :). So here I am new to this blogging world but we'll see how it goes.

Manchester, Manchester, Manchester. Where do I start? I can already tell that I am going to LOVE living in this city especially because of its big yet small feeling. The weather is going to take a LOT of getting used to especially for a tropical girl like me. I'm used to sunshine all day, every day so the fact that there will be snow in my life is already freaking me out!!

School started like a month ago, but still trying to settle down & get my life sorted out here. Things I have discovered - the very BEAUTIFUL Trafford Centre which promises to retain all my pocket money, my fabulous Sushi spot that serves a mean Salmon Teriyaki & a divine restaurant centered around my fav. food ---> RICE! I've also had to get used to walking everywhere, but that's good cause its helping me find my way around.

I am one of the "committed" ones in the crew and unfortunately HE lives far away from me right now since my move here. Its taking some getting used to for the both of us but we'll see how things go. I probably wont talk too much about HIM on here just cause I'm personal like that but you never know!

Got a ton of reading to do for lectures tomorrow *sad lil mama face* so I better get to it. Till we meet again.

First

hmmmm....where do I begin?.......

first time blogger.....so a bit skeptical but will see how it goes.....

ok first of all I was a WHOLE week late for school because of the Goddamn british embassy in Nigeria.....silly me thinking I was doin the right thing renwing my visa when it was still valid for another 3 months....anyway if i go on I won't stop...its a long story....

any way I am finally here after spending THREE whole months in Nigeria....and just in case you were wondering why I am complaining about 3 months in Nigeria, this is why: 1) I live in a small city in Nigeria haven't really stayed there for that long since I was 9 as I went to boarding school 2) Don't have any friends there. I go home often but I haven't spent more than a month at one go. So basically I spend 99.9% of my three months at home with my family....not saying i don't love my family but 3 months being locked up at home is not the ish at all......

back to school....HATE HATE HATE being a JJC (Johnny Just Come)-newby....thought I had my last one 3 years ago when I started uni as a fresher.....but NO!!...and to top it all I was late so not only was I JJC, I was late and confused and oh yeah I forgot HOMELESS!!... yep I am homeless, still looking for a flat and it is really stressing me out (think I have found one but will have to wait till monday hopefully no one has taken it). I have been crashing at my friends' place...and they have been the most wonderful hostesses ever....not only are they latting me stay with them in their tiny rooms, they are also helping look for a place.....:-)

So yeah i have a question to ask 'why do people sleep for soooo long' as in it is 2:30 pm and they are still sleeping...like seriously....what am supposed to do....I have been awake for the past 7 hours.....although I have been wathing army wives :)...love that show and soo many others...lol!!!....although I have SO MUCH work to do so I can't watch as much stuff as I would love.

WOW......blogging is not half bad..can't believe I have gone on and on for this long....

looking forward to manchester life and fun with V & VI ...haven't gone out yet...don't know when I will...(hopefully soon)...so till next tym

xoxo

My experiences so far...

Clubbing

Ummmmmmmmmmm so I think I was kind of a JJC (fresh off the boat, Johnny Just Come, etc.) when I first arrived in Manchester so I was hitting up all the wrong spots.. I ended up at this club called TygaTyga my first night out thinking I was really going to have a good time and everything seeing as Donaeo was performing. I'd gotten all dressed up as in, in my mind I was really going to give them that night mehn.. Nothing was going to ruin it.. Not even the fact that after I got in the taxi and told the cab driver where we were heading the guy just looked at me and was like "Nahhhhhhhhhhh don't go there".. In my mind I was like "Abeg this one doesnt know anything jare.." and I just continued hyping myself up for my first night out in my new city. I finally got to the club and it was PACKED with all sorts of drunken hot messes.. I was now like "Aight, thats small now.. I can still enjoy myself".. So for the first hour or so me and my friends were just dancing and trying to have our own fun.. It was all good oh.. Till one IDIOT that had been trying to talk to me took it upon himself to squeeze your girls bumbum (lol).. I was like "But waiiiiiiiiiiiiit.. As in really". I was shocked.. that shit has never happened to me before. Thats when I just called it a night and went home cause I was seriously irritated plus the DJ had just gotten very annoying and was playing straight techno. All in all the night was wack.. The fact that I paid to get in was wack.. and the fact that I wasted a perfectly hot outfit was just the wackest (but trustttttttttt I'm gonna be repeating that bad boy soon.. its not like anybody relevant was there to see it).

Money

Hiss.. Lets not even get into that one. I got my card retained last week, the ATM machine near my place wasn't working and the stupid mofos at tesco did not have the common sense to put some sort of sign up to let poor unsuspecting money withdrawers know that their cards will be swallowed immediately upon insertion. The messed up part is that my card is an international card so my bank is all the way in Nigeria which means that I am STILL waiting for my new card and I have been without any money for the past week. If not for my lovely friend and fellow blogger (VI) I would have just been screwed.

Other Random Stuff

I miss my boyfriend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
