Well, after having a not-so-great day yesterday, I can safely say that today has been much better. I didn't go anywhere really, so still have no new pictures to post. But it was, in all, a fairly good day.
I slept in until 10 today. It's really hard to get up when you know you don't have anything to do. But I did get out of bed, and have some breakfast, etc. Nothing super exciting (but cornflakes are "full of nutrients" so that's good, I guess). I still haven't tried the milk. It's "sterilised milk," with a long shelf life. I guess you don't have to refrigerate it, which kind of scares me. I'll use it to cook...or something.
I had a small lunch in my room (mmmm nutella, haha) and just chilled. John gave me a game website, so I spent a while trying to beat this one game. I will, no worries. Melisa came over, and we watched tv online. Such an exciting day, I know, but we were very happy to find a website that works in the UK!!
I got to talk to Lissa for a little while, and Marie. I was pretty excited, let's be real. Marie told me all about her homework (I needed normal conversation) and this wonderful book she is reading, ha. It was nice to just talk about regular things, rather than talk about how far away I am and how things are going. I'm getting a little tired of those conversations, because they make me miss home. Let's not emphasize how far away I am anymore, mmk?
Dad skyped with Melisa and I, and set the camera on the tv so we could watch the football game. It was just what I needed...like a normal Sunday at home. I was able to chat with my parents, and watch the game with them. I really just needed that familiar routine. I can't even explain how much better it made me feel.
Tomorrow is my first day of classes. I'd say I'm nervous, but mostly I'm just ready to have something to do, and to be able to make a new routine. I need a schedule. I like to plan, and know what I'm doing. Without anything to do, or anything to plan, I'm more than a little bit lost. As it is, I'm going to need to make a schedule. I have class from 2-4 tomorrow. And that's it. That's not enough to occupy my day! AHH! But I am going to go to the grocery store. And I'll eat lunch. So that will take up a little bit of time, right? Ugh. Hardly. I could, however, study for the GRE and do responsible things like that. It doesn't sound like more fun than doing nothing, however. We'll see...
Love your Blog! G'pa & I both read it today. Grateful your Dad sent it to us. It makes me homesick and want to be "accross the pond".
