3rd week: Girlfriend! :)
Ola! I don't have a lot of time, so I'll try to keep it short this time ;)
I decided to go for a quiet weekend last week. A bit of studying and relaxing. Monday; school. Tired afterwards.
Tuesday, just one workshop and in the evening ... the Freshers Ball! Yes, a ball is like what we call a "gala" in the Netherlands (: I went straight from university to Antonio's place, because he was the only guy I knew with a suit and he was ok with lending it to me. We talked for a while and I offered to bake him and Jan pancakes. So me and Jan went to ASDA, bought all the stuff and I ended up buying a whole new black suit ... (: thought i might need it later on and it was very cheap anyway :) I also manged to get 1 pink rose for free ... but taking it out of a bigger bouquet. I'm so evil! ;)
The pancakes worked out fine and after getting ready at home, around 9:30 i picked up my date ... date? ... yes! people have dates for those kind of Balls! (: ... well... my date was looking so incredibly beautiful! didn't get her to blush given her a rose though! :) ... so off to the ball... which... sucked! Wrong kind of music, university student union sure don't know how to throw a ball! So there was nothing else to do then shoot a lot of photos ... with me, sigal and joy in it. which i'll put online soon, hopefully after this post, guess who my date was afterwards :p
Wednesday I decided to play a $2500 tournament online. Jan popped by with pizza's, so I showed him how to play. And after 4 and a hours ... i managed to win the tournament! I turned my 6 dollars in to 700!! WOOHAAA!! :D - we celibrated it by going for some beers and the cinema afterwards with a lot of people; Shark Tale ... pretty funny! :) Afterwards i went home with Sigal and that evning I asked her ... if she wanted to be my girlfriend! :) We've been seeing each other a lot the last 4 weeks and I told her I wanted to take it easy earlier on, but I started feeling more and more for her the last few weeks and I feel very very happy about my decision (and hers of course! :)
Thursday; school all day. Went for "Goodbye, Lenin!" afterwards and at 22:00 Daantje arrived at Talbot Campus! haaaaaa! very cool to see him again! funny to have a piece of "home home" coming over to Bournemouth :) made me realize i'm already totally integrated here as well :) so we got his stuff back to my place and went out to Elements that night with Joy and Sigal :) Was ok there, not anything special (:
Friday, i took Daan to university and put him in the library to study there. I finished my Flash workshop at 16:30 and afterwards we had some rum and cokes in Hurn House before we went to Valerio's party in Winbourne house. The party turned out to be a LOT of fun, we got a bit too tipsy ... but i guess that was part of the fun ;)
Saturday, slow starting day. Showed Daan around town for a bit, had some coffee, met up with Ozz and Jan and we watched "City of God" at my place. Then went to Bar Bluu for the night, it was almost like a wickedjazzsounds session, so we all hit the floor like crazy! Emily joined us later on and received quite a lot of attention of the male supporters of my group, excluding yours truely, because i'm such a good little soul of course! ;D we moved to party over to "Camel", where we smoked a Mango waterpipe and we hit the floor and bongo's like nobody else (since everybody else was sitting ;) - absolutely GREAT fun, truely smashing evening! :)
Sunday, i took Daan to the casino to play the 5 pound poker tournament. I busted out 9th and he busted out 5th ... JUST out of the money, but it was exciting and a lot of fun :) At the moment we are sitting at home, Daan is studying and i'm typing this at the moment :)
I'll go and try to put some pictures up now ... they are on my laptop, so could take a while (:

Rutger,
HAHAHAHAHAH, you found a waterpipe bar? I got you addicted!!!! Hey, looks like you are having fun, hopefully i will get to come visit you for a week in august before i have to go to amsterdam. later man,
eliot
Well, let me finish the Sunday...
After typing his blog Rutger was a bit bored. Didn't feel like anything (i guess when you have a relationship the urge to party 24/7 gets a little less). But i'm still Daan and still single so I did my sellingtricks and got him to go with me to the casino again. And we had a lot of fun! The 2nd tourney of the day started at 20.30. Unfortunately we couldn't efford any rebuys. We had to stay in with the 500 chips we got. Rutger didn't had the luck (it's a skill game, but some luck doesn;t hurt) on his side. He went out after an hour. I was sitting with a pretty big stack on another table, so he decided to have a drink with his (i have to admit, very beautiful and very cool) girlfriend. And I tried to make my stack even bigger. Finally at 0.15 I got some really bad luck and left somewhere around 16th place (was even better then 5th that afternoon).
Rutger, you can tell the rest of the story... The very cool going away party you gave me...
p.s. Uni and Rutgers friends in Bournemouth are very cool, but English people and clubs there suck! I will never complain again about the clubs in Amsterdam. (Still we had a very good time in the Bournemouth clubs! But that was more because of the company.)
p.s. David Gauntlett, after your class on monday I suspect you will read this blog. I have to say I really liked the class! (and for me it is pretty special when i like a class.). Maybe you can give a guest lecture at my study soon... maybe I can arrange some things...
If I win a lot of money with poker I will do a masters in Bournemouth as well.
hahaha! heyyy eliot!!! happy you are reading all this as well!! :) and of course you got me "hooked" to the waterpipes :D haha, they rock man! miss you dude! xx
