First Weekend

This weekend was fun, I tried my first selections of cider and i like them a lot...they are like a cross of beer and wine in my opinion. I have yet to try any British beer though. I also had my first cottage pie and it was really neat - a dish consisting of beef mince topped with horseradish and parsnip mashed potato, and baked in an oven....i've not tasted anything like it and it was yummy. Though I'm glad i didn't know horseradish was in it when I ordered it...I had thought it was just garlicy.

I also went to 2 different dances and one had more techno songs (the Engine Shed) and the other actually ended the night with Disney songs from The Little Mermaid and The Lion King (SCREAM). I definitely liked my first impression of SCREAM. It also had music selections from the 80s and 90s.

It rains on and off here. So far its been overcast and sprinkly. It is not the same type of coldness you'll find in ND but it is a wet cold and I still bundle up with my coat and gloves. I haven't gotten used to remembering my umbrella, but I am taking it with me today as I explore town a bit more and go to mass this evening. My apartment is located across the Brayford river right next to my university and within walking distance of everywhere I'd go for shops and things. Though the cathedral is a bit farther away I will eventually get up to visit it and the castle one of these days.
