Update after the 1st month in Nottingham

It has definitely been a busy, busy last week. Both at work and after. Well at work, my pc is finally here after one month. Also been busy learning new techniques as well as troubleshooting for some expt.
I’ve gone to YW hse to have dinner on Mon and to kinda celebrate Ian P birthday. Thursday after a super long day at work, we headed to Emilio’s place for dinner. Loads and loads of food there. And great food at that. And Friday, we took after a day off to go boating in the lake at uni. (Yes, big uni we have). It was what IC calls a lab fieldtrip. It’s not the whole lab outing but just a outing for pple who works for my boss. Well, boss suggested it. Boss also brought lots of snacks and alcohol for the outing. We boated (YW definitely did a good job there) then hung out on the grass for ice-cream and snacks. Headed to town for drinks and dinner (to celebrate Em’s birthday). Was really fun, it seemed more like a gathering after work than to celebrate Em’s birthday.
Had to go back to the lab for a couple of hours on Sat though. Everyone can’t believe it. Barely a month has gone by and I’m back on weekends. Well on the way home from uni, some random stranger tried to chat me up. Can you believe? Was in uni itself. He asked if I knew it was ok to park in uni on Sats. I told him I’m not sure cos I’m new here too. Then he started talking to me and said he was going to the same place as me. I think hes crazy, it’s a 25min walk away from where he parked and you can get free parking near where we were going too. Anyway, I was kinda afraid that he was going to try something and the good thing is the way to that place was on a main road with loads of pple walking on it. Lucky I was also not planning on going home straight, he will probably walk me home too, saying its on the way. Anyway, we go to our destination and he asked if I wanted to meet up again (is that a indirect was of asking for my no? Actually I still can’t remember my UK no, but I can still remember my Aus no). OMG! I told him well, we might see one another again. Gosh … Ok so that’s a little gossip from my end. Other than that, life goes on. Wakie, lab, work, eat, talk, work, home, eat, sleep. And the circle goes on.
