| ...so I'm probably going to start writing on here again...
| | |
| Remember when people used to write on here? hahah...how weird.
| | |
| Urgh, here we go again. Im going to be writing randomly on here and we'll just have to wait and see what comes out of it.
Do you ever get the urge just to write? I think it usually happens to me not when I'm bored, but rather anxious about something. Most of the time I don't know what I'm anxious about though. I'm weird.
I'm just in a mood today. Just about everyone I know has left to go home for the three week easter break...even em is down in london this weekend. I'm just sitting here thinking of all the work I should be doing, but mostly thinking about the fact that I'm going to be leaving here soon. Way way too soon. I'm definitely not ready. Just thinking about it now makes me start to cry. I know I wrote a similar blog to this towards the end of last year, ironic isn't it? I was so scared for that year to end. I wasn't sure it could be topped. Well, it was. In a different way, but it was. Now, next year I'll be back in the states and I know I'll have a good time, but I'm going to miss people here in a way that I've never missed anyone before. It scares me to think that I might not actually see most of my mates ever again. In fact, I won't. Even if I ever do get the money to come back, everyone will be so spread out that I wouldn't get to see them all anyway. I'm just gutted. I'm sure it will start out in that typical way where we facebook or myspace eachother every once in a while for the first few months, but after that, it will be rarely, and then probably stop all together. I guess this is a good test to see who my real friends are here. I wonder who will actually make the effort to come over to see me? Will I even make the effort to come see them? I've had a lot of people tell me they would, but I know its not true. It breaks my heart.
That has happened far too much for my liking.
Plus, to add to the good day I'm already having, I can't find the reservation e-mail for em and I to get to Italy. Im not impressed with myself.
And now I can hardly see the screen through the tears...urgh, what a day. I need a hug.

| So I got a request for another entry in this oh so amazing blog of mine. I know (still) that I should write in here on a regular basis but I can hardly be bothered. Sooo, what should I talk about?? I like to just write and see what comes to my mind…so I’ll give it a shot here.
Lately I’ve had this, I don’t know, just this feeling where I just want to get some shit out. Like I need to be creative--I’m hoping this is going to help me escape that a bit? Usually I hate writing stuff, but on that rare occasion, it helps me sort out my life. :P Trust me, my life needs sorting right now too. I really just want to paint, or draw, or mod podge. That would be great. I think maybe I’ll have a draw later and then crumple it up and throw it away like I always do. Maybe if I were good I’d keep them, but again I just can’t be bothered.
So it was just valentines day, I guess that’s something to talk about. I didn’t do anything really. I got a card and a care package from my family which was good and very nice of them. I also got a rainbow colored rose from my flatmate Victoria. It was so sweet of her. I love the flower and to be honest I usually don’t care about them at all. This one is so pretty though. It’s different. Later in the night I went out to the club that everyone goes to on a Wednesday called Lava. Its usually a good night and it was once again. Just a fun night with my mates. What more can someone who’s single really ask for? Later is when it really all went down hill but that’s a whole different story…basically the reason why I am just feeling so anxious and maybe need to vent a bit. Ha, come to think of it, it’s not really helping my cause that I’m listening to some terrible sappy country love songs right now… Oh, don’t pretend that you all don’t love John Michael Montgomery. His old stuff is so wonderful.
I’m pathetic. Ha.
Well on a lighter note, I have made some plans for my future! Ha, those of you who a)know me and b)actually read this anymore would realize this is a big step as I hate planning ahead too much. Lol, this was different though, these are travel arrangements!! Woooohoooo!!
First of all, the mother is coming in march and we are going to go up to Scotland then down to London. It should be a really good time, but I still have to figure out where we’re staying down in London! Yikes!
Then after that comes April and basically the entire month off---and (drum roll here if you wish) I'm going to Dublin, then back to Preston for a few days, then to Florence, Italy, then around Italy for the week and I’m flying out of Venice and landing in Paris!! Wooo! Then I’m staying with one of my mates a few hours out of Paris(I think) in a city called Tours--I guess it has castles?? I don’t know, but who am I to even care at that point! I'm so excited! Yey!! We’ll be there until the 19th of April I do believe. Then school starts again that next week so that will be perfect.
---Minus the fact that it means that school is almost over and I have to go home and I don’t want to and I’m not ready to cause I’m going to miss everyone here too much and Iowa State is going to kick my ass next year and before that summers going to suck cause I’ll just be working all the time and now I’m freaking out a bit cause I just want to lay and maybe have a good cuddle and watch a movie.

| Hehe, umm I don't even know where to start! Just so you know, i hate doing these, but joela, i love you so its fine :) Umm...well I've been here for almost two months now. I really don't have any complaints other than I miss American food and things like wal-mart and target. they really do make life oh-so-much easier. I am also now basically addicted to tea. true story, everyone here actually does drink it all the freakin time. im hooked-in fact im going to make myself a cuppa right now cause i am convinced it will help me get some work done! Okay, Im much better now, got a bit of oasis and snow patrol on and a good hot cuppa. Right, so school is basically easy as hell. I am actually a bit nervous about how little work i have done, but at the same time i could actually care less. gpa's don't transfer! ha. so basically i have been spending my time hanging out with my amazing flatmates and going to various pubs and clubs. every wednesday night is a different dress up night at this club called lava. so i usually go to that--you've prolly seen some g.i.joe pics on facebook. there are also a ton of pics on a website we made for our flat! the url is: www.uclanflat18.piczo.com! check em out for sure. I've also been down to london a few different times(i live about 3 hours north of it). I seriously am in love with the city. its amazing. i never thought i'd really like a huge city but i can see myself living there for a few years or something. Its cool! Last weekend I went home with one of my flatmates named Vicky. her and i have gotten pretty close so it was fun to meet her family and be fed sooo much amazing home made food. also leeds is fairly big(around a million i think) so we went out on the town and had a good time there as well. i am planning on going to france and poland in the late winter/spring. I am really excited to do that for sure. it just sucks cause the exchange rate is so bad that i am basically paying double for everything! i am running out of money. so the really frugal part of me is freaking out and the careless part is telling me that it doesn't matter cause i am only here for the year so i need to go out and do whatever i want/can until the money is all gone. no holding back. sadly, i haven't really picked up any accent. lol, i think its more like they are all sounding more american than anything. i am using some of their words like "ace", or "i can't be bothered". i love that. i am also getting much better at being able to tell where in england people are from by their accents. they are really soo different--maybe thats why its hard for me to sound like them? either way, i am having the time of my life(duh) and i am already starting to dread leaving in the spring! its going to be so hard to have soo many friends that are thousands of miles away. :( tear... oh, and joela, if you were wondering about various boy situations that would be a whole new entry that would be pages long explaining several different crazy/heartbreaking/fun etc... stories. lol. love and peace~ em | | |
