It's almost Valentines Day.
This Friday is Valentines Day. What are my plans? Eating pizza, Pringles, tons of ice cream, and any other junk food I feel like splurging on, sitting in my pajamas watching sappy movies, and crying with anyone here in the flat that would like to join Lucy and I. This month. I just feel like it has been/is going to be terrible. I feel terrible, my moods are terrible, getting out of bed seems harder. I just want to sleep for the next month or so. Anyway. I painted my nails so they are all festive now. I'm pretty proud of how they turned out.
I finally finished my project. We have to present it tomorrow. I am not excited. I hate presenting. It's even harder in a foreign country. I haven't seen one person present over here. So I am not sure what I am going to do and my group hasn't even discussed what's happening. I am assuming we are just going to go over each of our slides. I guess. I don't know. Tomorrow will be interesting.
My mom sent me two packages (Thanks mommy!). I got a bunch of the stuff that I couldn't fit into my suitcase coming back here and then other things for my flatmates to try. My grandma and Shirley each put in valentines and some origami paper, which I have been using pretty much nonstop since I opened the package. There are have been quite a few successes, and a lot of screw ups too. I have been using post its and the cat box calendar too. Here is what I have successfully made so far:
The weather here has been an absolute nightmare. Today was the calmest (is that a word? or is it more calm? I don't know. Deal with it.) day we have had in awhile. I HATE the weather here. At least the weather in the winter. It is awful. The wind is so strong that a metal part of one of the windows on our building flew off and hit the window of one of my flatmates. So that's scary. The trains basically aren't running because I think some tracks were destroyed in the storms so Plymouth is kinda cut off from everything and everyone now has to take coaches which have tripled in price because of the new demand. Plus they take longer. Hopefully it will all be fixed by April so I can get to London to meet my mom safely without a huge hassle. It's now less than two months until I see my mom! And then two months and a couple days until I get to go home for a week! I could have gone home for two weeks, but exam schedules weren't put out until like last week and we bought my ticket back in like november.
I've been playing QuizUp like mad. Which is good and bad. It drains my battery. So much. But oh well. This Tuesday our mall (or shopping centre if you want to be British about it) is having a student night. This means that some stores are staying open two hours later than usual (OH MY GOD THINGS ARE OPEN UNTIL 8PM ON A TUESDAY!!! WHAT IS LIFE!) and they have discounts. Waterstones, which is my B&N substitute (it is also not as cool as B&N. I don't know any of the people and it is noisy and it smells funny. There is a coffee shop in there and it doesn't even smell like coffee. What's up with that??) is giving students 10% off, and a store called PaperChase which has like stationery stuff and pens and notebooks and everything that I cannot resist buying (although, they don't sell origami paper, but I wish they did) is giving us 20%. So that's cool. I have TWO sets of plans this week. Who woulda thought I would ever have plans over here? You guys probably don't even care. I don't know if anyone even reads this anymore... Did you know you can subscribe now? Every time I post something, an email will be sent to you.
I still don't know what to do about school. I even started looking at classes at SLCC so I can just take the classes that I want to take without spending so much money at the U. I don't know what I'm doing with my life and it seems that everyone else does. And I think that may be a part of the reason that I'm feeling really crappy lately.
Last night at 1am Lucy and I decided to make cookies. Well, first we were going to make cake but then decided on cookies. I don't know why. They were good though.
Look! There's two office kitties! I miss all my cats :'(
It is now 1am and I have to go to sleep (or play QuizUp until I get to level 30 in Harry Potter books) so I won't look any more tired (than usual) while I'm presenting tomorrow. Wish me luck? Maybe? I don't know. Everyone will definitely be paying attention to the one and only American in the class, I know that for a fact. Soooo. If I die of embarrassment or something, know that I love you.
