As my night continued last night, it did not get much better. I went to the club and forgot to bring my ID card w/me, so they wouldn't let me in. Luckily, April was with me, so I didnt have to walk back thru the dark park myself. But then she decided not to come back, so I had to walk by myself thru the dark park at 11pm to get back to the club. I got there, and its so loud and crowded I couldn't find my roommate or hallmates, and they couldn't hear their cell phones ringing. Luckily I ran into Sophie and stayed w/her til we found Emma, Debbie and Carol (Carol just moved in, and I like to stick w/Emma and Debbie cuz they stay together and I don't want to get lost lol). Then in the cab ride home, Debbie said it wasn't safe to walk the park at night cuz not that long ago someone got stabbed. (My mom is gonna love to hear that.)
I had seminars today, and I don't like seminars cuz its a small group and ur graded on participation. I don't like to talk, so my participation grade is going to be terrible.
I am going for the weekend to visit my friend Melissa, at the military base in England, b4 she has to go to Iraq :(
Bon Voyage!

Oh man, things have been crazy for you the past few days! Hopefully it'll get better as you get into the swing of things. I hope you're feeling better from that cold, too! I forgot to check this the past few days, I haven't really been on the computer though because I've got some late classes so I usually just go to sleep after I get home.
ReplyDeleteI'd still feel a lot safer walking around the UK at night then here. It's nearly impossible to get guns there from what I understand (unless you live in the countryside and have a hunting rifle maybe.) Say Hi to Melissa for me if you get this before you leave!
Oh no! You'll need to take a deep breathe and pull it together, Chica! Go beg forgiveness from whomever for the late forms, rsvps, etc. Invest in or utilize whatever day-planner/calendar you have on hand. It's ok--you can do this! About that participation thing---you have ventured outside of your country now it is time to venture outside of your comfort zone and open yer yap. I know you can be quite chatty--I've heard you! YOU CAN DO IT!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BURNS DAY!! Enjoy your haggis!

HannaH: What is ur class schedule like this semester? I feel very safe walking around the UK, more so than in the U.S. since there is a no gun rule. One of the girls I came over here with had pepper spray w/her and even that is illegal, the ppl at orientation told her to get rid of it immediately!
ReplyDeleteCharlie & Melissa: Thanks for the words of encouragement! Hopefully I'll be able to pull it together this week!
And I loved the ode to Haggis! That's the kind of poetry I am studying in my Scottish Lit class, its sooo hard to read!
