Because it was Saturday there were no lessons scheduled that day, Megan, Evelien, Fei and I went shopping (which is actually a bad idea when you consider the prices they use for clothing). You pay almost 35 euros for just one shirt, no not with diamonds or gold on it. Just a plain shirt. The only affordable place was Primark. Loaded with 4 new items and a crying wallet, we settled in Flirt, our favorite bar at the Triangle. I ordered a panini which costs around 8 pounds (roughly 12 euros) but it was extremely good. It's funny to see that I'm willing to pay 12 euros for food but not for a crop top (it's a tiny piece of fabric, why would you pay 12 euros for it?). I don't like crop tops in general by the way.
It was a big bite so we just sat down for a while before we went to the H&M to get in our bathing suits: we were planning on swimming in the sea with the whole group (eventually it was just Dario, Enrico, Kate, Megan, Evelien, Daño, Fei, the other weird Italian guy where no one knows the name of and me). I grabbed a way too expensive pullover to 'try on' and changed into my swimming clothes immediately. The pullover was 'only' 20 pounds, I didn't even think of trying it on. The water was the same temperature as we are used to in the Netherlands, a bit cold but still manageable. However the Italian boys had a hard time trying to get in the water, they are definitely not used to the cold. Especially Dario made a scene and it took him forever to get in, which was really funny. Megan unfortunately didn't join us for a swim but we played cards afterwards while sitting in the sun and listening to music. It does sound perfect, I do realize that, but it was perfect at that time :). Later that afternoon Luca, Amy, Bella, Maxime and Ida joined us as well. Unfortunately Fei and I had to go home for dinner not long after. The others joined us for the walk back because they had to go as well. On those moments you just really wish you were in a residence like Amy and Luca, they can choose whenever they want to go home or not. The disadvantages of being 16... you mostly don't bother them but on some occasions they really do hunt you. We went to the park around 9 while being a bit sunburned. Listening to music, chatting and just having fun like always. These days should go on forever. I'm not joking. You can get sunburned in England. Yes England, the country where it rains all day every day. (Please note the sarcasm) Thank you.
