Welsh lady in Edinburgh

First day of the new academic year here at Heriot-Watt, and it hasn’t been without incident. 

Well, y’know what, they weren’t wrong those boyos in the union!  Wasn’t here for five minutes before I found my new BFF, Sian, a fellow Welsh-woman, and as proud as I am!  Alright, so she’s from WEST Wales, a far cry from my bootiful village of Llanbobyl in the Brecon Beacons, but she’s a lovely girl.  Bit of a slut-bag mind, got off with three different lads last night before bringing one lucky man back to our hall!  And OMG what a noise she made!  He was a bit of a stud by the sounds of it!  To be fair, she did have quite a bit to drink, I’d never met someone who could drink like me before Siani, (she calls me Manni, lol) but she kept up with me, bowl for bowl of mid-Wales’ finest red vino (that’s French for wine, more than just a pretty face I am)!  “I love a drink as much as the next person!” she said “Not if the next person’s me” I replied!  A brilliant example of that famous Welsh wit!

My other best friend (a different kind of friend though lol!!!) is Paul from down the hall (Paul from down the hall rofl, I’m funny), he made sure I was alright all night love him!  Kept topping up my glass whenever it got more than half empty, a true gentleman he is!!  He got here before all of us and had his room set up, got a mint speaker system he has.  Was blasting out ‘Missing You’ by The Saturdays when I got there, I was like, “TUUUUUUNE”!!  I knew straight away that I couldn’t wait to get to know him, if you know what I mean, LOLZ!!!  Told him straight away though, “I’m not easy me, I’ll expect at least dinner and a night in a top club before you get a piece of THIS action!”  He just said “Time and place, babe, time and place!”  He’s such a charmer! 

So once we’d all eaten (I made my first ever meal, chicken dippers, waffles and spaghetti , with bowl of wine number three) we started getting ready for Indie Patrol, OMG!!!  they were brilliant by the way, I’d have got down on my knees for the bassist, he was sooooo FIT!!!  And the singer had a cracking voice, fair play.  I’m a sucker for a musician, grade three flute myself so I feel like, a deeper connection with other musicians that other people just don’t get.  One of the other lads on my hall plays guitar, not bad looking, reckon about three drinks or so and he’d do it for me!!!  Seemed quite boring until he got a few shots of sambuca down him, then he was a real party animal!  Paul was reeeeallly funny too!  Kept the drinking games going until late in the night and OMG he showed us this amazing one with a pack of cards and a biro, classic freshers week banter it was!

UV night in the union tonight!  Cannot wait, it’ll be an absolute scream!!!  Not a big building like I was expecting the union, but dew dew it was good fun when it was packed, plenty of sausage to pick from ;-)  I’d better go and see if my hall wanna go get ready, brought some UV paint specially for tonight, gonna get MASHED!!!

Manni (lol) out! xoxox
