Feeling a bit discouraged.

I just took an online test and it did not go well. I used almost all the time that was given to me, I got to use my notes, I thought I had double checked everything (turns out I missed half of a question though), I even studied and took notes for several hours last night, and I pretty much failed. This semester is not going well at all. I am not doing well, my grades are pretty terrible at the minute. And the more I suck, the more I want to give up. For the first time ever, I have a bunch of friends that I do with stuff regularly. I have only one job, and it just seems so much harder. I sleep more than I ever have before, and I'm still tired. February is turning out to be a really shitty month for me.

I am not sure how to get out of this rut I'm in. I don't have the desire to really do anything. I'm stressing out about saving money (seriously, it's like the paychecks don't come fast enough, I really need to put my credit card in a block of ice in there freezer (have you seen confessions of a shopaholic? I am her) so I can't use it anymore), I'm freaking out about school, and I would just much rather work than go to school and take classes about things I am not even close to being interested in.

Do any of you have advice on what I can do to get my spirits back up? What about study tips? How do you manage going to school, working 30 hours every week, having a social life, and sleeping 8 hours every night? Is it even possible?? Blah. I think 16 years of school is enough for me. Can't I just be done??

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...
