I finally know what it's like....

To have a social life. I used to think everyone was ridiculous and I did not understand why they couldn't figure out how to balance school, work, and their social lives. In the last two months, it has finally it me. I didn't have a social life. I didn't have a life really. So I focused on school and work and was happy with that. For the first time ever, I have a bunch of friends. Not just the shitty friends that are more like acquaintances than anything. They're good. Great. Fantabulous. I see 4 or 5 of them almost daily. I talk to others almost constantly. Some live far away, but that doesn't even matter. And I love it. I've gotten closer to some that I grew apart from, I've gotten closer to some that I was just acquaintances with. For the first time in my life, I have more than one best friend. For a long time, I don't think I really even had one, I had friends, just no one I could tell anything to. Now I can think of at least four. 2015 is turning out to be the best year of my life and we aren't even a quarter of the way through it yet (I mean we almost are, but not yet ;)). I'm going to hold back from naming every single person I talk to because I used to do that and now I think it's weird and maybe they don't want to be on here. Soooooo if I do screw up, bear with me.

School is killing me. I don't do my work until the very last minute (right now I am supposed to be writing TWO papers, reading for tomorrow's English class, preparing for a test I have next week, and reading a million history chapters I haven't even bothered to look at), and I am really ready to be done with school. Two weeks ago I was ready to quit. I know that I can't, that I shouldn't, and that I just need to suck it up and finish. But I really don't want to.

It has been far too long since I have written on here. I wanted to write once a week, not once a month... Not much has changed with me lately, except my attitude towards school. I've done a million puzzles, watched a ton of movies, and have avoided school work almost completely. This is my worst semester. Ever. I have never done this terribly in school. It's stressing me out, but not enough to make me worry about it. My brain has checked out.

I FINALLY saw The Sound of Music. I have watched it at least 5 times in the last two weeks. Into the Woods comes out tomorrow. I am so excited, I can't even stand it. I have been waiting almost two months for this day. If you don't want to watch, listen to, or hear me sing the Into the Woods soundtrack, you'd best stay away from my house for a few weeks.

I'm getting closer to buying my car. I think I am going to sell Nassy (this seriously breaks my heart, I love Nassy) before I go to Florida or maybe before I go back to England. I haven't decided yet. I'm pretty sure I will be crying when I hand over the keys though. I have also made the decision to get the red CX-5.

This month I went to the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim. It was exhausting. I got to miss school though, so that was good. I've started to find it hilarious when people tell me I'm weird in that rude tone everyone has. I know I'm weird. I know I like a lot of things people my age don't. I know I get obsessed with things that most people don't. And you know what? I. Don't. Care. I've started wearing super bright lipstick just because I like it and I can. I mean, why shouldn't I? I wore lipstick that was neon pink just because I could and most people loved it, while others just said "wow" with that tone.

Okay. Enough word vomit. I can't pretend to do my homework all night, I gotta quit doing my puzzle get some sleep.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Until next time, my friends.

<3 Jes.

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...
