Day Seven: Three Months Left



Hello -

Today, was a very lazy, nothing day. It has been exactly one week from the day that i arrived here in the UK and to celebrate I decided to do nothing. I did eventually make three hamburgers, which was fun and they turned out to be delicious (well, one of them was, i have only had one so far). I played SIMS, i wrote a little, talked to my dad via skype.

Also, Allie and I were offically invited to Italy with Phillipa. Which i readily accepted, even though i will have to skip the classes that i have yet to take. I am very anxious to have class, i do not think i like waiting till Sep 28th for classes... this is way too much free time for me. Everyone home is going to be taking midterms before i even take my first class! I rather be in class than be doing nothing and having nothing to do.

I did try and prebook tours around Europe, but i never heard anything, so i do not know if they went through. If not, i will have to plan for myself. OR, i will have Kat help me make plans, haha.

Anyway, things I have learned that i would not have learned in class. Band-aids are called cushioned plasters. They do not beep out on the television, nor do they hide anything with those fuzzy screens. Basically, really, England is like the US. Only, they have accents, the food is less sweet and packaged cooler, they drive on the other side of the road and i know very little people. In conclusion, my British people pedestal is gone and i see them the same as everyone else.

Also, i think my three month and six day adventure/experience here will be enough. Maybe i'll come back, maybe not, who knows. I am just glad that i decided to do this, because i feel like it is really letting me let go of all my holds and preconceived ideas about my future and what i define as success and let me be and do what i want to be and do. hahahaha, if that makes any sense. Now, i can stop judging myself harder than anyone else could ever judge me and my career choices. However, do not ask for the correlation between this experience and my ideals, because i do not know where it came from. Maybe its all this... free time.

I cannot believe i wrote so much, when i did nothing today. Pardon my rambling, you do not have to read it.

Love you! Miss you!

PS: In the near future i am going to take a video of the rest of my apartment... and this time i will speak (just for you RobbY).

PPS: Thank you for the comments, I love hearing from you guys! Its nice to know what you are all up too!
