DO NOT EAT RAW EGGS.

Well hello there everyone. What have you been doing the past couple days? I have been sick. Again. A different kind of sick. An awful kinda sick. A food poisoning kinda sick. On Tuesday, I decided to make a cake. I had been craving cake for ever and ever and I finally had time to make one. So I did. And I did what I always do. I licked the rubber spatula clean after I had poured the batter into the pan. It was delicious. The cake baked, we ate some, even fed some to our RA. It wasn't until a couple hours later that I started to feel really really really really really sick. I didn't sleep. I had my top half laying in the bathroom, legs hanging out the bathroom door. I won't go into any more detail than that because you really don't need to know what happened. But when 6AM finally rolled around, I was up and running to TESCO to get some gatorade-like drinks (Powerade, Lucozade, Sprite, Apple Juice). So for the last three days now I have been drinking constantly (I think I am FINALLY rehydrated because I now have to pee every five minutes). I have only eaten a bunch of RITZ crackers, about 6 pieces of toast, and a couple bites of mashed potatoes (I am now super paranoid and they didn't taste right so they went straight to the bin) in the last 72 hours. Most of what I bought at the big store on Monday has been thrown away.  So that's disappointing. Luckily I was the only one that got sick though. I would have felt terrible if I had made the entire flat sick...

Other than that horrific experience, I haven't been doing anything besides homework. And even though I seem to have been working for several days straight, I am no closer to being done than when I started. :( I leave for Nice a week from Sunday. I am going to have someone that I know (well, I kinda know her. I know her flatmate haha) there and we are going to go to Italy on our day off. The Oscars are this Sunday. You better believe that I am going to be staying up to watch them. They start at midnight and go until about 3, that's usually when I go to sleep anyway. The US has a different daylight savings time change than we do, so starting the 10th, home will only be 6 hours behind for like three weeks. So that'll be really really weird.

That's all I really had to say. This is a short one. I'm writing this to avoid going back to doing accounting. I think I actually understand accounting though. Maybe. I think it is actually starting to make sense. At least the budget part of it. I am starting to notice that I write either really long sentences or really short ones that should probably be combined... Oh well. I hope you're all doing well!

<3 Jess.

P.S. Tomorrow's March.. WHAT.

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...
