Things and Stuff.

So yesterday turned out to be a pretty crappy day. It started out good. I got a lot of stuff done, figured out a lot of things that I was confused about, got my classes are sorted. Then minutes before I was supposed to Skype my mom and the Grandmas, the internet went down FOR FIVE HOURS. It finally came back up when my mom got back home. So I don't really get to talk to them until Sunday. I didn't leave my room in those 5 hours because each time I asked reception when it would be back up, they assured me only a few minutes. It was not a few minutes. I would have had time to go get laundry detergent and wash my clothes. But I didn't because I was convinced that it was going to come back on. It didn't. Today I bought a lot of stuff that I needed, found the buildings my classes will be in (I only go to school three days a week, so I won't be hating life), and now I am back in my bed feeling a little sick. You that kinda cold that you feel when you are shivery and you can't get warm no matter what you do? That's how I feel right now. I guess I should hurry and get signed up for the doctor, eh? I just found out that in like four days, we are going to have a grocery store open up on the ground floor of our building. That's really exciting. I won't have to walk several blocks anymore. Yay for Tesco! My flatmates all really like to party. If you know me, you know that I, well, don't. I wake up every morning to counters full of dirty dishes, empty bottles, and half full glasses. There have been shirts just like soaking I guess in the sink that I normally use for like two days now. It's pretty gross. Soooooo That's one reason why I stay in my room... They are all really nice though. I am getting really tired of the construction going on here. I here drills and saws ALL DAY LONG. Then in the "quiet hours" I hear hammers, and the guys really aren't quiet. They are actually quite loud. Especially because they are right underneath my window. I am also getting really annoyed with the lifts, as well. Day and night I hear "Doors closing" or "Doors opening" and it is very very annoying and loud enough that it echoes down our hallway. Well. I am going to go watch a movie. I hope everyone is having a nice morning.
Love you!

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...
