So this weekend I took a break from my busy uni schedule
and went to Portsmouth to stay with my oldest and best friend, Carla. We’ve
been best friends since we were 3 and have been on many adventures together.
Now we’re both in our 3rd year (Carla goes to Portsmouth Uni and
studies Radiography), which coincidentally we both decided to go to uni at the
same time at 21. Going to uni later than a lot of my friends was quite daunting
as I thought I’d be one of the oldest but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought
– especially as Carla went at the same time we really supported each other even
though we’re at different universities.
Anyway, back to the weekend! I arrived in Portsmouth on
Friday evening, sooo excited to see Carla. We hadn’t seen each other for 5
months due to me moving back to London for the summer to work over the clearing
period. We decided to go for dinner and drinks at Giraffe in Gunwharf Quays –
if you’ve never been to Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays is an outlet village by the
marina with shops and restaurants. At the moment they have their Christmas
lights and decorations so it’s even more picturesque. We had so much to catch
up on, it was a great opportunity to let off some steam and relax as we’ve both
been under a lot of pressure at uni (deadlines quickly approaching!!!). We were
going to go out out after but after a tummy full of food and even more gossip
we decided to stay in and drink (maybe we’re getting old after all haha!).
On Saturday we had a wander around the shops and I spent
money I didn't have (as usual) and bought a fluffy blanket and a Harry Potter
deathly hallows t-shirt for my girlfriend, Georgia. We had lunch in a pub on
the high-street and decided to go for dessert in pretty much the best place I
have ever experienced – Scoops. Scoops is an ice cream parlour with waffles,
sundaes, crepes, milkshakes! I have quite a sweet tooth so I was in heaven, I
had a Nutella and banana waffle with Nutella ice cream and Carla had an M&M
peanut butter waffle but they were so huge we could have shared!
I had such a nice, relaxing weekend with Carla but next
time she’s coming to visit me in Greenwich, so I can show her round all the
amazing things London has to offer. Although I’m really glad I chose to come to
the University of Greenwich, it’s really nice to experience somewhere new for a
few days!
Lots of love until next time,
