Awesome

So Monday my care package came... I was so excited it was by far the best thing I've ever recieved. My flat mate Adam opened it with me and put up with my excitement over everything in the package, brave man. I loved everything in it and am way too excited about 3 boxes of KD.

I'm going to savour the kd like crazy. My flat mates really liked the seventeen magazine. It's surreal to see things that are normal at home in my Lancaster kitchen, they feel like completely separate lives... I was talking to Brian, he was the first person I met when I landed here because we landed at the same airport at the same time and took the shuttle together to our hotel in London. We both agree that it feels like a lot longer then just a month ago that we met.

Monday was great because my friend Sarah had a Waitangi party, she's from New Zealand. They had these cakes that tasted like lemon meringue cookies that were amazing. It was cool because my New Zealand/ UK/ Australian/ Japanese/Norwegian/ everywhere other than North American friends had never had cinnamon hearts before so they tried them when I brought them to Sarah's party. I lovelovelove the days where I can see everyone=) I MET MORE CANADIANS. I now know a total of 6 other than me. Devon is the only other one from Alberta though, but still yay Canada!

Tuesday I had zumba and family dinner which were great as usual. Tuesdays dominoes has 2 for 1 pizzas. Wednesday we went to Sainsbury's and I looovee grocery shopping. Also on Wed there was the study abroad game night and it was fun but really hard to play sherades with people from different cultures, especially when some people had never heard of things like sleeping beauty so it was just pointless. The funnest was for sure after the games when we just chilled.

I've been trying to start on my coursework, I had to watch movies on football hooliganism for my football and society class (I know I can't believe it's a class). The movies were good but kind of depressing. It's so weird not having midterms, the paper I have to do on the movies isn't even due until March 5 and that's the earliest due date I have. I like all my classes, they're all really interesting thankfully. Don't worry mom & dad, I go to all my classes and everything, but blogging just about school would be really boring!

Thursday was Linzi's birthday!! So I got her daffodils =) and in return she gave me a massive hangover. We went out with her friends/ family and had way too much fun. My favorite part of the night was at Linzi's boyfriends house because they have a bathroom under the stairs. One of the guys went up the stairs above the bathroom, started jumping up and down yelling "wake up potter, we're going to the zoo!!" Best part of the night. For Lancaster being considered a small city there are a lot of places to go out. Not gonna lie I go a bit crazy every time I hear that one direction song when I go out. I lost Linzi and them at some point during the night but found my Eurolearn friends! There's a free bus home from Revs on Thursdays which me and my wallet loved. 

Friday I just caught up on my readings and went to Pilates a bit worse for wear. Jon, Dan and Brian watched tangled with me, Jon loved it, maybe because of all the beer he brought over... After I went to my friends flat just to hang out. Well hanging out turned into never have I ever and beer pong and flip cup that we played on his closet door that he took off the hinges put on an ironing board. I thought it was some good problem solving. I love the kitchen hangouts I always leave having made a bunch of new friends.


I still listen to the bounce online when I wake up. I still get confused at the light switches because here you have to flip them down to turn the lights on. I still forget sometimes (mostly depending on how not sober I am) that I'm not at home. I'll just forget where I am and look around hoping to see Mariah or broski or anyone from home. Then I see my UK friends and smile and remember that I'm so lucky to have people I love here and at home.
