Week two oxford

I finally have to go and live in big flash house and start the new job in Oxford. Jake now no longer giving me silent treatment but tells me off everyday for being the worst person to live with ever. I tell him he is boring and eats the same food everyday and has negative outlook on life and is tight. This gives him the rage.

I come home and he talks about mango skins then about leaving cap off toothpaste and then when I try and watch television he says is annoying American crap and changes channel. I take to reading in my room in the evenings after the gym. If I run far enough I just go straight to sleep. Sometimes I stare at the phone and wonder if Scottish man will text me and eventually I fall asleep dreaming of marrying him.

Big flash house is very close to lots of nice restaurants. Decide that not speaking to Jake is no reason not to try them. Decide to take self out after gym on Tuesday to a nearby Japanese restaurant.

I take my current novel, Heat! and go for glass of wine at local pub first. The girl standing at the bar next to me is ordering wine. She asks what kind of wine it is the bar tender says ‘dry’. She says ‘gross’ in an American accent, and then the bartender says ‘you can add lemonade to it if you want’. We both snort and then the bartender goes out the back. She turns to me and says ‘gee I never saw trash take itself out before’. ‘AHAHHAHAHAAH! American girl’ I said dying of laughter. Was very excited that she was American. She was drinking alone as well as she is a student but her husband was in America and paying for her to study. He is in the CIA just like off the movies. We sat inside and giggled. ‘I fucking love you Arabella you know you are fucking great we towdally need to hang out’. She says. ‘I love you TOO American girl’ I say. We swap numbers.

I go to Japanese place and order something and I don’t know what im ordering but I love the freedom of being able to do that. When it comes out is like a meal for six people, full of veges and raw fish and a big sizzling bowl of broth. You put the food in to cook it and then wait and then eat it. Took ages and I was getting bored and hungry. It is not a good way to eat. Am also quite embarrassed at amount of food and eating alone.

American girl texts the next night. ‘Meet me for dinner so we can talk shit’ she says. Yay - I now have a friend in Oxford so I can ignore Jake and hang out with her. So I meet her at local gastro pub called Cape of Good Hope. I can not find anything low fat on the Menu. She orders steak with butter sauce and fries. I have falafel salad. She tells me that her husband is in America but she is thinking of having affair with a local Oxford boy. She is SO scandalous and interesting. She suggests taking bottle of wine and drinking it in big flash house. I decline as have work tomorrow but mainly because do not want to make Jake yell at me.

Do not go to gym as much for the rest of the week as I now have a friend to do much more interesting stuff with. On Thursday night we go out for Mohitos and Pizzas. Weigh self Friday morning and am back to 64kg.
