Burnout

Last night I got drunk.... Again.... Excuse my crap grammer and maybe some of my spelling, I'm still recovering. I think I've been drunk most nights, and I have definitely not had a day without alcohol since I left England, that was over a month ago. I'm starting to run out of cash, but I get paid on Friday so all should be good. I've been looking for a house with a few people I met in the hostel, but its proving difficult as all estate agents only provide a minimum of a 6 months let, and we only wanna stick around for 2 or 3 months. We're gonna go trawling through the internet later on and the paper tomorrow to look for privately advertised places, hopefully we'll get somewhere soon. Met a load of guys and a couple of girls who are from Chelmsford too! What a small world.

I've had too many late nights out and living in the hostel is killing me. As well as working about 50 hours a week, I finish at about 1 or 2am and then wander down to the bar as soon as I get back to the hostel, get drunk and stumble in to the dorm room at about 3 or 4 in the morning and get woken up by the people in the dorm room who have a more-normal-than-me sleeping pattern. I don't think I've had a good nights sleep since I left Fiji a few weeks ago and its taking its toll on me.

Last night was wild, me and this guy Lawrence went down to the bar below the hostel called the Side Bar, and the bar was decked out, Las Vegas style, as they were celebrating the opening of another Wake Up! hostel in Vegas, apparently... Anyway, we met up with a few girls from the hostel; Sophia who is this crazy Sweedish girl, Amy who is from Yorkshire and we also met this girl who I think is called Anna who is from Brazil. There were playing cards all over the floor and we all got drunk and started playing kiss & blow with the cards, alongside sticking cards in intimate places and using our teeth to get them out. I'm sure people were looking at us thinking we were crazy but we didn't care, we were all smashed and it was a great night out. The pictures don't do it justice! I was a bit of a naughty boy and when we left, me and another Sweedish mate Chris went up to his dorm room on the 7th floor, and my friend Jo was in there asleep... Of course, I was drunk so proceeded to jump on her and woke her up. Eventually I woke most of the room up and then I passed out on her bed with my feet next to her head and my head just on the mattress. When I woke up I really did panic for half a minute before I realised where I was! I was SO hungover as the $10 cocktail jugs really did f**k me over.

Sophia gets friendly with Amy... Game on!

My eyes hurt and I've not had anything to eat yet and its 7 in the evening! Going for a $5 steak in a bit though (not sure how good it will be!) with Lawrence & Natalie. I was supposed to go and send a shirt back home to this shop in Nottingham as its too big for me and I need a smaller size, and then I was supposed to also pick up my tax file number from the post office too, but as I was rushing to the post office Amy was sat outside a pub with a pint bottle of Magners and I couldn't resist a liquid breakfast of Irish cider. It didn't quite taste right though, and it was $10, which is just over 4 squids, but it was still good.

I will definitely need a nap later on, but I think I will probably start drinking again later, as its my day off today. Work is ok at the moment as well, we've had a new food menu launch and a new cocktail menu. The food is lovely, expensive but its really really nice. I get food on my break too which is awesome. Paid on Fridays and we get our share of the previous weeks tips on Mondays.

I gotta go, if I don't have something to eat soon followed by a sleep I think I may fall over in the street and fall asleep in the gutter.

Miss you guys,
