Hey guys/girls.
TLDR; Met a nice girl. Probably won't see her again in day to day life, but she gave me her phone number, perhaps unaware that I fancy her. Where do I go from here?

I was at a Christmas meal on Wednesday, run as a joint event between two similar societies, and got chatting to a rather attractive girl from the other society who sat next to me for forty odd minutes. Despite the occasional drunken interruption from some fresher who decided to neck eight pints of ale before he arrived (and subsequently to frequently remind everyone that he had done so,) it emerged that we have quite alot in common.
On Friday I ran into her again, this time waving at her as I was sat in happy hour with some friends, celebrating the end of the semester. I saw her walk past and gave her a little wave, and she came over for a short chat - mostly teasing me about how long I'd taken to eat my sticky toffee pudding on Wednesday - before procuring me some birthday cake off one of her friends and going on her way.
Amazingly enough, when I was done in happy hour several hours later and had jumped on a bus into town, who did I bump into but her. We had another 20 minute chat, in which I found out she was going to the same nightclub as my group were later in the night, before I got off at my stop.
By this point it had dawned on me that I actually liked her quite alot, and in the knowledge that I probably wouldn't see her again after Christmas, I decided that I should try to get her number that evening. I've never been particularly good at texting girls (rather, I consider myself to be downright awful at it,) but the idea was better than nothing, so when I bumped into her later in the club after she'd lost her posse, I asked for her number, which she obligingly gave me.
Unfortunately, at this point we were both rather drunk, so I'm not sure if she gave me her number because she likes me, because she'd lost her friends and I'd offered to help her find them/get her home if we couldn't, because I'm an acquaintance, or simply because she was drunk. I suspect it might have been the latter, but hey. I now have her number, and want to keep in touch with her over Christmas.
I spent most of the subsequent day (yesterday) sleeping off my hangover and blowing up our toilet with industrial quantities of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda in a desperate attempt to unblock it, and she spent most of the day travelling home to Switzerland, also hungover, so I thought I'd leave it and text her today - the plan was start with some simple small talk about if her journey was okay, how drunk we were, how great home is ect ect and see where it takes me.
Where am I supposed to take this if I'd like to see her again in the new year? What's my game plan with text messaging? Can anyone give me some advice, I've never really done this before?
Put the internet to work for you.
