Classes and traveling!!!

So! So far, I've had a couple classes and they are pretty boring. haha The tutor talks for like 2 hours and I just want to do stuff. We have this small assignment due tomorrow in class and leave it to me to start the day before. If I were a Disney princess I'd be Procrastihontas. :]

Other then that, I've just been making plans to travel. So far I just have a small day trip this Saturday to London, but I'm in the process of going on a weekend trip next week. Probably to Paris and such. I've pretty much planned out the time when my sister and mom come to visit. We're going to Paris for the weekend and to London a couple of times. I think we're also trying to go to Dublin for a bit, but not sure where else. I hope to go to Italy sometime while I'm here. I want real pizza! Instead of this 50p crap from Tesco.

Also, my birthday is next week! Just 5 days away and I'll be 20. I used to think 20 was so old so this is an odd feeling finally getting here.

I finally have internet!

I've been in England for about a week now, but I haven't had my internet working. Everyone else in my building has, but not me...awesome. Anyway, it's amazing here. I love being around old buildings and the view from my room is beautiful. There's this little cafe of something next door, so I always here people at night hanging around.


This is the courtyard at my school. There's like lily pads on the water and a bridge and a small waterfall. It's super pretty. There's a cafe place through the door on the left that has sandwiches, salads, fruit, pasties (YUM!), and different kinds of hot and cold drinks. This random science tutor (that's what we call teachers here) came up to us on Wednesday and started talking about America and a bunch of other history stuff. He was super hyper so we didn't know what he was talking about, but it was funny.


This is the Cathedral in Canterbury. We get in for free because we're students, but others can pay 7 quid to get in. It looks like Hogwarts. Oh and, we had a library tour yesterday and some of our bookshelves are compact. Which means to get in, they move around. =O It truly is Hogwarts. but anyway, it was a really pretty day outside when I took this. It normally looks like this, but cold. haha



We all had fish and chips for dinner! It was the first time for all of us and it was really good. I only ate it with ketchup because I hate vinegar. I didn't get sick, which was nice. There's a milkshake place around there that I want to try before my mom and sister come, so hopefully I'll do that sooner than later.

3 days left

I have three days until I leave. >.< I have a lot done already, but it's still stressful. So, instead of being excited or nervous, I'm worried about 500 other things. It'll be okay by tomorrow since that's when I'm going to have everything all packed and ready.

Next time I update, I'll be in England.

It's official

I finally got accepted into Canterbury today! Which is very exciting because:
1. That's a big part of why I started this blog
2. I haven't signed up for a room and/or classes for next year
3. ....because it's England! :]

I will have another post either later today or tomorrow with the very few pictures I took while in Texas a couple weeks ago. I hopefully will be taking another trip there this summer, but we'll have to wait and see.

I go in Wednesday to pick up an acceptance packet, and I'm not even sure what's in it.

Also, Postsecret's Frank Warren is coming to my college to talk about stuff and I will hopefully be getting him to sign a copy of my book since I love when I can get my books signed...even though it's happened twice.

I hope everyone had a great Easter!

Housing

So, housing keeps contacting me to sign up for a room, but I'm not suppose to. I'll probably call them tomorrow/today and ask them about what to do. It's just annoying.

But anyway, I am flying to Austin from Chicago saturday afternoon to go see my sister. We're suppose to talk tonight about what we are doing so I know what to pack, but regardless, I'm sure it will be awesome. Very excited for the warm weather and no school.

ALSO - I can hopefully bake a bunch over my Spring Break so I can post pictures on here. :]

waaaaiting

I called and asked when I would find out if I got approved or not and she said I have to wait until April! OH JEEZ! So, I guess I just don't sign up for a room here for the fall...I hope I get in or else I'll be homeless! haha

In the meantime, I am going to Texas for part of my Spring Break, so I will be taking pictures and all that good stuff. Hopefully I will be able to post an entry or two while I am there.

ALSO! I started another blog for Lent. I decided to give up being lazy so if you want, you can go check that out here.

Sooo. It's happening.

I turned in my application and the girl said the only reason I wouldn't get approved is because of my GPA...which wouldn't be a problem at all. :] Very exciting. I can't wait to hear from them so I can buy my ticket and plan out everything I want to see.
