Nice.
I'm going to Nice tomorrow! Yay! I need a break. I need to be away from Plymouth and school and homework (because believe it or not I have been doing homework for several weeks and I haven't even had time to read Harry Potter). Although I still have to study. Unfortunately. Im getting up at 6 (hopefully) to make sure I have everything, to pack all of my last minute things, and to get up to the school to get on a coach by like 8. Fingers crossed that I can do it.
I set off the fire alarm today. I wasn't even doing anything exciting. I was straightening my hair. That's it. I was watching YouTube and straightening my hair with the window open. The flat across from us wasn't happy. I don't think my flat was happy. I don't even know how it was set off. It wasn't steamy in here, no smoke, no fire. These smoke detectors are ridiculous.
It's March. How crazy is that? Less than a month until I see my mommy, Martin, and Andrew. Then just over a month until I get to be home for a couple weeks. I think going home and then having to come back for another month and a half will be really hard. I'm really ready to go home. I haven't spent my time here the way that I had imagined that I would. I thought I would make friends and we would go travel and go do things. But I am running out of money, I have done almost everything there is to do in Plymouth, and no one will go anywhere with me. We were going to start doing day trips but with the trains all messed up, we can't really get out of Plymouth. I had imagined myself traveling to all sorts of different countries, like some of my other friends did while they were on their study abroad programs. I have gone to Sweden. And that was just because my dad was there.
I was planning to go to Scotland and maybe Ireland in the week before my mom got here, but I was told that I can't go alone. So I tried to talk flatmates into going, but no one has money. And people from home keep telling me that I need to go out and do more things and explore more and get out of our flat but unless someone is going to come out here, go with me, and pay my way, I'm stuck. I don't have enough money to do any serious traveling and I can't go by myself, so I don't know what to do.
I haven't done much lately. I still don't eat much after I got sick, but I actually get hungry now. I've been eating a lot of toast. I didn't get to watch the Oscars because my live stream kept freezing. I should have gone out into the kitchen because apparently two of the guys I live with were watching them and stayed up for the entire thing. Pancake Day was on Tuesday. We should have Pancake Day. It's a nationally recognized day to eat pancakes all day. I had my first English pancake and I made American pancakes for dinner. So I am going to start doing Pancake Day at home every year.
I have decided that when I get home for good, after I've worked for a while and padded my bank account, I am going to buy a new car. A blue Mazda CX5 to be exact. I love my little Nassy, but she's getting old and she just can't do the hills that I live on... So that is my goal for when I get home. Buy myself a car. I need to sign up for classes at the U but because I have no idea what I want to do, I don't know what I should even sign up for. I shouldn't take a semester off But I also shouldn't continue to pay for classes that I hate taking... So I don't know what to do...
I've been a bit sad lately. Some things have happened and I am just down in the dumps. My mind is not in a good place and I hope that this little trip helps to pull me out of this sorta depressed mood I have been in. I just want to be hugged but I don't really have anyone to hug here.. I'm sure if I asked my flatmates for hugs, they would give them to me, but it's weird to have to ask. At home I never ever have to ask for a hug, everyone just seems to know when I need one even when I do my best to hide that fact. The weather is getting better here, so that is awesome. If it stays this way, it'll be a miracle.
I better go to sleep. I only have about an hour until my first alarm goes off. I'm headed to 60 degrees and sunshine! I'm probably not going to bring anything back for anyone... Just Harry Potter books to add to my wall.
Hope all is well with whoever you are that is reading this. If anyone.
Love you guys.
