"My Lord that's a gigantic case!"

I made it!!!

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m an English major, or if it’s because I am (do I have to say “was”?) a Tridelt, - we love some good slang- but one of my fav. things about Manchest-a so far are the new words and abbreviations i keep hearing. “Quite” is used ALL the time and I love it. The title of this post is what our RA guy said to me at 7am when I came walking up the cobblestone street to our dorm dragging my bright red luggage. Hilarious. Just listening and people watching is the most amazing thing ever to do here. I never realized just how much of a prude I am, but walking down Oxford Street, it’s become typical to almost catch a view of someone’s privates. Everyone is so free here, and fashion is most def. a huge outlet for self-expression. I want to do a post just on street fashion as soon as I get the time. It’s funny how my posts keep coming back to fashion? Weird. Anyway, our dorm is rather old, but quaint in a cute way, minus the bathrooms, and everyone has been super nice. I had my first TopShop experience today (again with the clothes, yikes I may have a problem) and it was awesome! I bought 8 pairs of earrings for 2pounds and the shop girl goes, “Oh, I just bought the same pair for me mum!” I kid you not. Told you the words are amazing, I especially like hearing the word “dodgy” while walking down the street. Tomorrow starts class, so I have to go to sleep! The rain has started, quite lovely to sleep to, cheers!
