Fun in Manchester

Wow! I can't believe how fast those last 3 weeks have gone by! I've been busy going to lectures, studying, etc. as well as having loads of fun! The weather is starting to warm up. We didn't have a very long winter which is a nice change from Michigan. The flowers are starting to bloom and it's usually around 40-50 F during the days and it's actually been sunny for the past few days.




A few weeks ago I went to a geek-themed 'silent disco' at a club called Revolution in Manchester. I'd never been to one before but I've wanted to go to one at some point! In a silent disco, everyone wears headphones and can change the channels on the headphones to change the music depending on what they want to listen to. It's kind of funny because if you take your headphones off, there's no music playing, but everyone is still dancing and singing really loudly! My friends and I enjoyed going to it and will probably try to go to more in the future!

Last night, we went to an 'I Dare You' event that was raising money for charity. We got a list of dares of different risk levels and point values and tried to see how many points we could get. Some of the easy ones were like 'video of piggyback with a stranger' or 'a picture with a cabbie' whereas some of the hardest ones were about getting a new piercing/tattoo or to come back with a different hair color! It was really fun and even though our group didn't end up getting very many points, it was still a blast trying!

In April, we have a three week holiday for Easter and I'm planning to go to Sicily for a week, as well as Bath in England and maybe Berlin for a few days! I'm excited already!





This picture is legendary because the lady in the middle is called "The Crazy Bus Lady" because she always tries to get on the buses at night and hand out these illegible sheets of paper protesting the government. Everyone at Manchester knows her! One of the dares was actually 'picture with crazy bus lady.' haha
