Did you see the size of that wave?!

Okay, time for Joe’s weekly update (that doesn’t come every week). I finally visited Cardiff last Friday with some friends and got to see what a real castle is. Not like the petty ruins we have here in Aber, that’s for sure. It’s a really beautiful place, even though I couldn’t see half of the halls because they were closed. Still, took plenty of pictures of the rest. On one of them I was absolutely sure I’d caught a ghost, but when I looked at it on the laptop, it turned out it’s just one of my friends, highly blurred. Very disappointing. BUT, we found our country’s flag among all the others going around the castle’s wall, so that made up a bit for the other things. We spent about two hours there and then we were supposed to check some museums, but the others were eager to check the malls and clothing stores more, so you could guess what we did for the rest of the day. I managed to find some stores for my “kind”, so I wasn’t very bored, though I didn’t buy anything except a t-shirt. And the whole time I felt like I was in one of the cities on the seaside in my country – enough for me to like the place. From what I was able to see, Cardiff is a really nice town, and I’d love to go back for more sight-seeing and less shopping.
Apart from that, nothing really exciting is going on (restrain your sarcasm, please). A few days left till we move again to a new house for the academic year. Oh, yeah, and I got chosen to be a Fresher’s hero. Basically, you get to go to the airports, pick new students up, show them the university and things like that, so that will be interesting. And then, lectures, lectures, and more lectures – hallelujah! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to spend the rest of my evening watching The Simpsons. And maybe other stuff. But mostly The Simpsons.
