Shopping and Sushi!

Hello! Today I though it was going to be a relatively boring post, but it turns out I had quite a lovely day! We started out going to the main Uni for Bio Molec lab, doing electrophoresis, which was ridiculously easy as we didn't have to do anything but pipet. So we ran our gels, did a few other pipetting tests, and were out in under 2 hours, easy day! Then I ran a few errands on my way back to my flat, had lunch, and attempted to work out some computer issues on the phone with apple. Well I was on the phone with them for about an hour, sat for another hour waiting for my computer to reinstall Lion, only to have my computer act exactly the same. So moral of the story, the guy (who was in Cork by way of Scandinavia) got to chat with me for no reason as he had never heard of my computers particular problem, so now I need to go to the mac store for some person to person chats, but I digress. My friend texted me to go shopping for OUR FIRST CEIDITH!! Well actually it was something for her to wear to it, and she's been to many, but still its the welcome back Ceidith, so still a big deal (pronounces Kay-Lee). So we went to the Silverburn Shopping Centre, which is  (possibly) the largest mall in the UK (my friend wasn't sure) but it was quite nice, it reminds me of the new city centre in Vegas, very posh. Anywho we went to a few store, got some shoes and dresses and then my friends suggested sushi for dinner, so I got to try some sushi scottish style. It was really cool, I wish I had had my camera with me! In the table was a nook for the soy sauce, a pit for the ginger and another hole for the wasabi and next to you there was a rotating conveyer belt with different plates all with different sushis on them and each plates had different colors corresponding to different prices. I tried a veggie one and ordered some yakisoba and we had miso soups and split chocolate mocha. It was nice because everything was really small, not like back home where the yakisoba is huge, and I had some green tea, which tasted the same as back home! It was so windy today, walking to class we almost got blown backwards! And it poured for a bit, but then got really sunny? So all in all a good day, and now I'm off to study!
