I went on an adventure...

I went on an adventure today. My dad called me and told me I should go find the Mayflower Steps. I told him no, that I just wanted to lay in bed. But when I hung up, I decided why not? It was a sunny day so I got up, got dressed, and walked up to the Hoe. I walked down past the lighthouse and over to the Barbican where I found the Mayflower Steps (which funny enough aren't steps). I hung around there for awhile and then made my way back to the Hoe hoping to make it in time to catch a ride on the Plymouth Eye. Sadly I was too late (which is ridiculous because there was several hours of sun left). So the next sunny day that we have (which is supposed to be tomorrow) I am going to go ride the eye and probably go to the aquarium. Did you guys know that we have the best aquarium in the country right here in Plymouth? So I think that will be pretty awesome. I am getting used to doing things alone. I might try to go find a movie theater and go to a movie. I know. You're thinking "Why are you doing these things alone? Why won't you go out with your flatmates? Go make friends!" And if you say this to me in person, I will probably slap you. Do you know what it feels like to be physically unable to speak because there are too many people in the room? Do you know what it's like to be so uncomfortable that you would rather not eat than go into a kitchen with at least 8 other people? (And it's even worse when they're all good friends). If you know what it's like, then I feel your pain and I am sorry. It's a terrible thing and I wish I could change it. But I literally can't deal with it. Like right now, all I want to do is go grab my ice cream out of the freezer. But I can hear people in there cooking and it makes me so nervous. Mainly because half the time when I walk into the kitchen there is another new person that doesn't actually live here just watching me like I'm the weird one (well, maybe I am. But I don't want to think about that. I was already laughed at on the way to campus yesterday for a reason that I will probably never know). Anyway. That was a very long tangent. Here are the pictures from my little adventure.

Whirlwind London Visits and Back to Scotland

Image
I FINALLY made it to the UK. The flight situation was an absolute nightmare. We were delayed 20 hours first due to a mechanical issue, then due to the fact that we no longer had a pilot who could fly for that long. It was stressful. I cried a number of times and had to be picked up and taken back home for another night. We finally got out of Salt Lake and the flight seemed to be okay, but then we learned that not all the entertainment systems worked. Because my screen didn't work the half of the flight, I didn't even have a reading light which was terrible. They got it working finally, but the whole flight situation was an absolute nightmare. I arrived in London where they have a new border system for certain passports. I just had to scan my passport and stand in front of a camera, which was super weird. I got through in record time, no passport stamp (which made me a bit sad) and headed into London to meet Lucy! We had breakfast, hung out at King's Cross, and met a lad...

2019 Christmassy UK Visit

Image
I made my trip to the UK in November, but it wasn’t quite what I planned it to be back in July. It ended up being a very chill trip spent with a ridiculous amount of cups of tea in bed with some of the people I love most. I was really lucky I didn’t get delayed like last time, but I did manage to book myself a 5 and a half hour layover at JFK on the way there (what an amateur, amiright?), so that was super long. But I made it there in once piece on Wednesday and met up with Lucy to have a Nando’s and work our way out of central London and out to Surrey. We arrived at her house where I was greeted with many a birthday decoration, a pile of presents, and a cupcake. We had takeaway from a really good Indian restaurant and spent the night watching I’m a Celeb with her family.  She then surprised me with a super cute cake, which was adorable. Thursday was a busy day spent in London looking at Christmassy sights and shopping for somethings. We walked Regent ...

Making my way back to Plymouth

Image
This year, due to lack of funds, my trip was postponed until September/October. I found a killer deal on flights, so I booked and hoped that my friends would be able to see me during that time. Luckily, they were all available! Two days before I left this time, I got a terrible cold. I went to Walgreens and spent $70 on cold medicine so I could hopefully not be sick when I came over. Didn't work, but hey ho, worth a shot. I got on the plane and luckily I didn't have anyone sitting next to me, I didn't feel so bad coughing, but I did feel bad for others near me. I did my best to sleep, didn't work well even with NyQuil. Once I arrived, I had about an hour and a half to get through customs and to the train station to catch my train to Exeter. To my surprise, there was hardly anyone in line to get through the UK border. Everything was going well. Too well. I got the train station, got up to get on the train, got on the correct coach and suddenly looked at my ticket and...
