Let me eat cake...then regret it!

You know when you have the munchies and a McDonalds seems to be a good idea at the time and then afterwards you have the tummy pains to say "Stupid cow". Well I have those, but instead of a McDonalds its a latte and a piece of cake. Really nice cake. Mouth-watering piece of cake. MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Today I decided to move into the Dorm rooms of the Cambridge Hotel because a) I wasn't meeting anyone stuck in my single bedroom on the 1st floor, and b) its gonna be way cheaper!

After talking to my parents recently (and considering some other things that have happened this trip), I have realised something about myself.
I feel safe in my solitude but it also bores me at the same time.
That's probably reason c) for my move into the Backpackers area of the hotel. I need to put myself outside of my comfort zone. My family have been saying that for years, but it is so easy to stay in that bubble.
Hoping to meet people that I can actually do stuff with, instead of seeing things with my ipod in my ears.

Looking forward to next week when Ian (who I work with) moves into the hotel for a couple of days. Going to go out on a pub crawl!!! Hell yeah. Probably a British thing to say but, I feel as though I need to let my hair down and get drunk (sorry Mum and Dad...er...DISCLAIMER: DRINK RESPONSIBLY!)!
