I went to the Natural History museum yesterday and then to the Botanic Gardens in Rato. I was very excited at the prospect of this trip as i love the british counterpart however, i was sadly let down. There was just a lack of everything; we had to pay which the guide book didnt warn us of and then the exhibitions were just dull. The first was comically bad it was just a room of dirt with general litter scattered with a faux dinosaur fossil. The was a T rex skull which was impressive, in fact there were about three skulls but that was it, besides some awful pixellated displays. There was a collection of precious stones, but i really was not interested in them. The funny thing was thebest display; the full dinosaur models were behind a white wall which i couldnt see over which was embarassing but through the crack i could see they were covered in bin liners, why? The botanic garden i did enjoy, it was nice to see a bit of greenery which Lisbon sadly lacks, i d like to go there again to spend longer but i doubt ill visit the museum again.

The Party in the evening was much funner, i joined a bit late because of work, though people kept turning up in my room to sign Emilys card, i completely ignored them and just kept working. There was a real abundance of cakes due to the request from Emily however i dont think anyone wa expecting quite so many. I ate so many it made me feel sick and i dont think they mixed well with the drink. The funniest ocurance happened; i went outside for some fresh air and started talking to this boy who was here on holiday. Anyway after talking for 5-10 minutes he said im Bored or at least thats what i thought he said so i was like oh there plenty of people inside and was apologectic and then he said it again and agin i was suggesting he went inside but the third time he said no my name is Bjord, it was hilarious, or at least i thought it was. I got really bad stomach cramp from mixing cake and alcohol and so retreated to my room and continued with my toilet roll, script. I never realised how long they were, i wrote for about an hour probably longer and im not even half way. I got plenty of photos to work from to combine with the toilet roll souvenir, im really want to know what my tutors will think of it.
