6...

And with just under a week left...

I've started my lists for things that I need to get done within the week and things that I look forward to over the Holiday. I might share a few of them in the up coming days.

Not much truly interesting today unless you count I found a goat in Minecraft and named him Billy. Other than that, I just want today (and this week) to end as quickly as possible.

A week to go!

This time next Tuesday I will be in the States once again! Woot!!

The UK was hit again by more strong winds and from the sounds of it Thursday and Friday will be worse. Maybe I'll end up with another day off?

It's not fun walking anywhere and having to battle the winds. I got pushed all over the street. Had the last ballroom dance class for the semester and my poor partner looked like he needed a nap. Half way through the jive he stopped and looked at me and asked what it was he was doing. We did a lot of basic patterns. He has exams, and I assume that's kinda of what I looked like two weeks ago.

Speaking of ballroom, i found out tonight that there will be a ballroom competition in January. Should be interesting to see (idk if I would be competing or not...).

Enough for now! Until tomorrow when the count down continues!

8 more days until I return :D

Today I finished the 3rd of my pattern towards my dress (yeahs!!) and started the wing of a butterfly before calling it an evening. I'm going to continue work on it and am going to hold off too many pictures until I start piecing some of them together to see how they will look which will be very exciting!!

I had an easy day of learning about poultry and enjoyed a very delicious hot chocolate with my candy cane this evening (right before I attempted to take half of my finger off).

Speaking of trying to take my finger off, let me explain. In the most ridiculous set-up ever, my flat's entry way is a tiny hallway with two large heavy fire doors that swing in opposite directions towards each other. Also, they overlap meaning that you have to open one all the way and then the other in order to get through. This makes it very difficult to get through. What we do in my flat, is have a door stopper to prop the inner most door open. This allows us to enter by only opening one door (the one that counts). Today as I came in, the stopper came loose and closed while I was holding the other one open and it slammed (because they are very heavy doors) onto my hand and cut into my finger. It hurt, a lot. I used a bag of frozen broccoli (as it was the only thing of mine in the freezer) and bled all over it. I'm a little angry at the doors and the architect that designed the building (I WILL find them).

I have just found out why it is that I haven't had to show my ID that often here; apparently I look much older than I am (at least to people here). And here I thought I actually looked my age. I honestly think height doesn't help me in this area (as people tend to think taller people are older and are supposed to give them more respect but I don't believe the second part...).

So I stuffed myself on chinese food last night, including my new weird craving for prawn crackers. Yes I know what prawns are, and these things kinda make me think I'm eating Styrofoam, but I'm addicted to them.

I'm also going to leave in a bit for a Carol Service (which includes listening/singing to Christmas carols, and eating mince pies and mulled wine). I also had a chat with someone about their trip to the US and some of the different food and while talking about pizza had to ask if they'd heard about the government declaring pizza as a vegetable. Apparently he hadn't. But what I can't figure out is are people seriously going crazy over there? I don't want to complain too much (because I do like pizza) but I just can't see the pizza from our school cafeteria being declared in any way healthy. But since we're on the topic of pizza, someone order my a white pizza for when I get back please!! (They don't really have a lot of pizza flavors here).

10 More Days!!

Congrats if you get the 10 Lords a Leaping reference.

10 more days until I come back to the States!!

Still having issues with loading my Christmas Market video to here. I will continue to see if I can get it to load up (as I know that it has worked in the past).

Today I ordered take away and had it delivered to me! First time ever! I had a chinese food feast to make me a very happy girl while I watch movies from my laptop.

Countdown: 11

Just to keep track: 11 more days until I am back in the States once again.

Also, many apologies to my video fail. I'm working on fixing it and will have it uploaded here soon!! Like maybe tomorrow if I can get myself moving.

I forgot to mention that last weekend I was walking back in the evening and what would cross the street and run right next to me but a fox. Let's just say, my first reaction looked kinda like this:



The exact thoughts going through my head were something to the effect of:



"OMG!!! I'm going to have to get rabies shots!!!"






Just after this massive panic attack, I remembered that in the UK, they don't have rabies. I suddenly stopped panicing and enjoyed being as close as I was with a very adorable fox who didn't pay me much attention anyway and continued along his way.

Until tomorrow!

December and Christmas

Hello All!! Christmas is fast aproaching and I will be returning to the states in less than 12 days!! Sweet!! But while everyone looks forward to my return, here's something to keep you going :)
