Norfolk Terrace, UEA, Norwich, Day 140.
Eurovision
I couldn’t believe it. Just two nights ago I
typed ‘early bedtimes are really my greatest weakness’ and…okay, they still are,
but last night was different! 10pm bedtime. As in, asleep. I got up at 8:30 and
did all the morning activities and finished at 11. Around this time I skyped
Katya in her late night and then went off to the kitchen to say my good-byes to
Wilson, or ‘Gum Gum’ as we called him (his name actually has some resemblance to
Gum Gum in some odd way that I forget). It feels really odd saying good-bye, but I knew the time was approaching.

The
day glided by after that and at 8pm, Marika, Morgana, and I headed to the blue
bar to watch Eurovision, a singing competition among the European countries and
each country has one performance. Russia was by far the most adorable—four Russian
old ladies dressed in traditional dresses sang a tune while baking—on stage,
mind you—cookies which were done right before the end of their performance
(might’ve been already baked, though). The three of us were sitting with Annie,
an upstairs neighbour above my flat, and flatmate Laura with her Lithuanian
friends. We cheered on Lithuania when that performance came on.
Morgana,
Marika, and mixed our own enchantments for the evening, played card games at
first, and then went over to Tom’s flat where I had good talks with Caitlin’s
best friend Fiona and others. The night ended at the LCR, perhaps for the last
time in my case. I fell asleep the minute I lay on my pillow.
