Let's try to outdrink the English!

As I sit here I can barely type this blog because I just arrived at my hostel this morning to check out. I feel like dying. Last night was a complete disaster. In a good and bad way....

Kara and I got kinda bored about 4pm here because we still were not used to the time. It got SUPER dark really early and when it was 4 it felt like 8 or 9. We decided since we spent the day in the middle of the city and finding Kara’s dorm it was time for a beer. We went to this cute little place called “Shakespeare.” How appropriate we would have our first beer in a bar named “shakespeare.” haha

Kara and her first beer in England

Well we had about two there and it soon started to smell like straight ass. From all the jetlag we got a bit tipsy off just two beers so were were extremely giggly as we breathed through our mouths and chugged our beers. We decided to walk some more and maybe find a place to have dinner. We walked downtown and then soon hit canal street. We found a bar and went in for a drink. We got our beers for a pound 85 which was the best price yet. We didn’t realize that the prices changed once it hit 7.

We read the bulletin boards and found out that nothing really went on until about 9pm. It was POP night 9-4. We went back to Kara’s hotel which was really close to pregame a bit and change clothes. We grabbed drinks in the lobby and headed up to her room. She got redbull with a slash of vodka and I got a Corona. It felt like home.

WE jammed to some music as we got ready. I didn’t want to go right at 9pm since we usually don’t go out till 12pm in the states. I had already picked up my british accent so I was talking with that pretty thickly. I find myself going in and out of an accent. Its quite annoying actually.

So we finally went out and choose a nice little bar/club that had the brightest lights. All of the signs said if you looked under 25 you would get carded. Everywhere we went the security guards opened the doors right away for us. I guess we looked old. haha

We went to multiple places because hey, no cover means we wanted to experience it all. You also can take plastic into the streets. Of course I would buy a beer and ask the security guy if I could take it out. It was about 5 till 11 and I was already pretty drunk. I ran by the club that we had our first beers and they were giving out coupons. I love cupons and the cute lady who looked just like Robyn gave me multiples.

They were buy one get one free shots so of course I was all over it. I went in and bought two shots and got two free. I don’t even remember how much they were. Kara took one and I took the final three. That was the start to the disaster of the night.

We went to different places and got pictures with the Djs and even some shoutouts “To our friends for North Carolina.” It was a mess! Kara saw Captain America outside so she had to get her pic with him. He sent us to a club called “New York, New York.” We went in but it smell awful so we left quite quickly.

By this time I was completely smashed and the night didn’t end too well. I ended up somewhere I didn’t need to be and got lost by myself. I kept calling Kara and ended up taking a cab back to her hotel. I met her with the friend she had made. I kinda broke down mentally and just wanted to lay down. I was a complete disaster. It was a mess. Gezzz, Bryce really?? I got back up to her room and of course ended up getting sick. We knew one of us would. By law it had to be me.

I slept over at Kara’s before having to wake up at about 8:30 to walk back to my hostel to check out by 10. That is where I am now. I check out of my hostel and I feel like shit. Sitting in the lobby writing this to make sure that it gets posted. Someone has to read it. Right?

The good news, however is I’m pretty sure we are not on Britain’s time. This is the second night. If this is any indication of what is to come I better prepare myself because it’s going to be an absolutely crazy 6 months.
