Yesterday night my new friends took me out to a club called Sankeys.
We got together to get dinner at 6, which is becoming the usual, and then we went to the store to buy alcohol for "pre-drinks." The drinking age is 18 over here and it's all completely legal, but while we were in the store in front of the alcohol, I felt like I wasn't supposed to be there. I felt as if everyone was watching me and I was really nervous. Francine and Holly were laughing at me and it was quite funny.
Then when they were checking out, Francine mentioned how she was carded one time when she was buying a pair of scissors. Scissors! That was absolutely shocking to me but for a country that doesn't even allow pepper spray, I guess it's pretty normal.
Anyway, we went back home and got ready, then met up in the "common room" (haha it's just like Harry Potter!) and had some drinks before we went out. At one point we were all sitting there talking, and one of the girls is staring at me. I asked her if i did something wrong, and she said, "Oh no, you're accent is just so amazing!" I had a good laugh over that, but they all say I have a "very strong accent." Also, apparently, they don't get drunk; They get "pissed." And I knew that before I came, a friend of a friend had told me, but when I was with them and someone called Francine pissed I was really concerned. Until I remembered.
The actual club itself wasn't that great. There were so many people that I could barely move. It was still fun to dance and be out with everyone. I met some really fun people. But we left the scene pretty early because of how busy it was.
Then we went to McDonald's for a midnight snack. I asked for ranch sauce with my chicken nuggets, but apparently they don't have that here. It must be an American thing. But I was kind of put out by it. I just wanted some ranch!!
