Yesterday morning, I discovered that there was a new series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks just started. I was meeting my Japanese conversation partner for lunch, so I couldn't watch it straight away, but I was going to be back in a couple of hours so I thought I'd watch it then.
Halfway through lunch, I got a call from one of the girls: "We're going to Saijo Town in a couple of minutes, so when you finish lunch, call us and we'll tell you where we are."
Luckily the halls are on the way to Saijo by bike, so I got to outside the halls and phoned. "Oh, we only just left, we're at the bus stop." I cycled to the bus stop at 1pm.
Some very confusing bus timetables and some lunch later, we arrived at Saijo at 3. I decided to go with them on the bus, since we had still been at the halls and I could just put my bike back there.
At 4, one of us got a call from another student. Did we want to come to someone's house for dinner? Meet at 7:30. We decided to go straight there, since we hadn't finished shopping yet and it would take at least an hour to get back.
In the end, it was more than dinner - we left his house at 2am. The others decided to go to karaoke, but by that time I was completely out of energy and dragged myself back to the halls. Then I remembered Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Oh, whatever, it can wait until tomorrow. Which is today.
That was a good post. Very evocative of the drifty student life!
