Nott What You'd Expected...

Pics from Oriental-ation and Club Nite at Oceanic

Below are the promised pix from Orientation week and Club Nite at Oceana. If I can find a way, I'll try to post the video from the club... enjoy

Finally headed back after an interesting bus ride (read previous post), Ana pauses to take her stilettos off.....
This is a pre-club pic... i think the look on Brandon's face may or may not say it all.... PS- I promised Eurotrash, and hopefully I delivered. The view of my fauxhawk in this pic is classic.
Club Oceana. Population 2500. Probobly the craziest place I have ever been. A day later, my ears are still ringing.
Yup. Clubbin'. Nottingham Style. Roscoe's eat your heart out.
Another pre-club pic. Just the guys. Aaron, Brandon, Myself, and Ryan. I love Aaron's gesture. I think I told them to try La Tigre in this picture. Blue Steel was out of the question. as far as magnum....well, it's not even worth trying this early in the game.

This one's for my crosscountry guys-- who woulda thunk, a double decker bus with SNAKES ON A GODDAMNED PLANE... wouldn't it be ironic if there were snakes on the bus with snakes on a plane advertisement?
This cell phone is begging to be called. It can fit in my hand like a premature baby. Or like other things that are small. Really don't know why I went with the baby thing on that one.....
Brandon's posed but not quite posed pic of his first cell phone purchase.... it was an emotional moment, to be sure.
This defies all logic. At a store called MadHouse (the store with jeans for 8 quid), I found this shirt, made by a company called Crosshatch.... Clearly an Iowa State Cyclone.... This pic is for Pat, Cheryl, Dad, and the rest of the ISU crew that finds this creepy as hell...
Muslims have Mecca, I have this shoestore. It's called Qubed. I feel like walking an hour into town and camping out in front of the mall just typing about it.

This was one of many bonding moments, in a dark and gloomy park just on the other side of campus. it's a nice shot, maybe even artsy had it been black and white.



I forgot my bandana at home, but trust. I represent the Cripps. Spelling error, I realize. But that's how it is across the sea. Cripps fo life.


They say that crime has gone down in Nottingham, but just tell that to the owner of this bike.....

Maybe the Brits find this normal, but this ad confuses the hell out of me... red sauce? chips? are you kidding me?See also: my comment about a college bookstore that contained alcohol in large quantities....

The following were posted on a wall describing the various groups and societies to join.... i think these might have struck a chord....
Can't wait to wear my Norse jersey....
Parents and relatives, look away.... college students, can you believe this stuff? Are the British born without livers?

The Stately Trent Building, in which all of my classes will take place (oh convenience of convieniences)

The Portland Building, UNott's version of the Union- only cooler, with a few banks, bookstores, and a convenience store that sells beer (in 2.5 liter bottles)

UNott's now infamous 8th wonder of the world, the GIANT PHALIC SYMBOL
