The last three days

Where have I been? I have been in my bed. Why haven't I updated anything? Because nothing has happened. Absolutely nothing. I have gone to the majority of my induction week activities (getting a folder, picking modules (which are classes for those of you that don't know), learning about what language courses are offered, meeting other exchange students), I have bought some food (SOME being the key word. The biggest meal I have had since my dad left me was a mini deep dish pizza that I heated up in the microwave for dinner last night. My flatmates go out and drink most nights. Last night they had a party in our kitchen. I didn't go, if you were wondering. Big groups of people make me extremely nervous. I can barely handle being in the same room talking to the 8 of them. I did watch a movie with most of them on Tuesday night though, so you can't get that mad at me. I got to talk to my warehouse kitties on Skype the past couple days. So that's exciting. I really miss my cats. I haven't seen a cat here, let alone get to pet one. My favorite spot in this city? My bed. If it weren't so rainy all the time, I would probably go walk around the Hoe (which is where the lighthouse is) and look at the ocean, but even when it is sunny, it is usually rainy. Yesterday probably would have been a good day to go up there, But I didn't. They had graduations going on up there anyway. It's starting to hit me just how alone I really am here (BUT YOU JUST SAID YOU HAVE 8 FLATMATES. Well yes, I do, but I don't know them). It is pretty scary. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think to myself "I want to go home" but I know I can't. So here I lay. In my bed. With my head at an unhealthy angle. I can't wash my clothes yet for some stupid reason that I have yet to be informed of. We have to pay to wash our clothes and there are only about 8 washers and 8 dryers for almost 500 students. AND I have to walk outside and around the building to get to the washers and dryers. Even though they are actually in my building. Annoying. Since these buildings are not done, I have to hear constant saws and drills from about 8AM until about 8PM. If you've talked to me on the phone, I'm pretty sure you've heard it. It is very loud. I turn 21 two months from yesterday. So for those of you that have been waiting *cough*Hannah*cough* the time is almost here. Although it makes absolutely no difference here. But the fact that I can drink right now here hasn't changed the fact that I really don't want to. Well. I have about 3 hours until I have to be anywhere, So I am going to go watch a movie. I hope you all have a very good day, even though all who are going to be reading this will be asleep for the next like 4 hours.you!! Here's a picture of my Spazzy Wazzy's tail, Fuzzy Wuzzy Wumpkin Eater, my dad, Cliff, and I..

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...
