Must-do list
These past few weeks my blogging has been too light on politics, but you must understand that I am a damsel who thought she was in distress. However, things always seem to work out. I keep forgetting that. I am in a right pickle, but things will be fine.
Saturday the 1st of July will be a fun-filled day. I will:
- try to hand in keys, hoping that the University accommodation office opens at 7 am
- probably be lazy and leave the keys in flat, which might get me into trouble later on
- 8. 20 board train to Newcastle
- arrive in Toon at 10.30
- find flat in unknown neighbourhood called Heaton
- 12.00:, view flat
- have a coffee and think about seen flat
- find a street called Pink Lane
- 14.00: view flat in Pink Lane
- decide which flat is better, because I'm not leaving Toon without a decision on flat
- sign contract on found good flat (the latter one, which I already know I want)
- leave Newcastle for Sheffield and then Cardiff at 15.10
- travel against the clock, pray that trains are not running late
- Successfully change trains in Sheffield, praying that the train to Cardiff IS a bit late
- 21.00 hopefully arrive in Cardiff and find a place to stay unless it is too late for that
- frantically phone friends in Cardiff who will not be home when I really need them
- sleep rough at Airport, unless I miss the last bus there which would mean possibly sleep rough on rough Cardiff street and possibly get into trouble
On Sunday the 2nd of July I will:
- be alive enough to get the bus to Cardiff Airport
- hang around airport and wait for flight to Schiphol, Amsterdam
- pay distortionate amount of money for bad coffee
- board flight to Schiphol at 1 pm
- be hungry on plane as they no-longer serve proper food
- pay 5 euros for a crappy sandwich on plane
- hang around Schiphol for four hours before connection to Helsinki
- pay distortionate amounts of money for food and coffee
- sample perfumes in shops
- board plane to Helsinki at 19.00, smelling of nice perfumes (all 100 of them)
- feel sleepy but too jittery for a nap after all that coffee
- cause asthma attack to person sitting next to me, because of all that perfume
- get to Helsinki at midnight on Sunday
- still be too jittery for sleep although exhausted
Phew.
And as a result of these fun-packed days, I'll miss the England game...:(
