I guess there is not much to post about from the past two days. Sunday was the usual chill day where I slept in way too long and then tried to be productive. I actually managed to get a cover letter written and updated my resume. Yeah, that was it. I also read for my class on Monday. I just know that soon enough I will be overwhelmed with a ton of work so I should get my butt in gear starting soon. Yesterday we had our BLC class and that was not too bad. Before it started I asked Fish if he had enough layers on. He was wearing a shirt and 2 zip ups and he was like "Well yeah, I'm pretty warm. Are you seriously asking if I'm warm enough." I think it was Emmitt who said something like yeah, that's what she means." And I was like well actually I was totally being sarcastic" haha then Erika was like come on guys, it's typical Kelsey! I love that they have already picked up on that haha Then later I had Louise cracking up. Erika and I shared a few laughs because I totally didn't understand a joke. But then we all...and I seriously think the entire group of Americans went to The Spectre where they have a few meals for 2.65 pounds or something like that on Mondays. And then it's two for one desserts. You cannot pass those deals up. We can't all sit together because it's not that big, but we were in our own little sections and it was a really good time, i was mean to Fish again...I really need to stop that because he will end up hating me! No offense to other Manchester people here, but I really enjoy being able to hang out with the people that live in Regency. It's a nice change of pace and I like getting to know other people!
Although it has been a pretty straightforward past few says, I have had the hardest time falling asleep Saturday and Sunday night. My mind is constantly racing with thoughts and ideas. I need to do something to let them all out but I don't have a clue!! It's terrible. Some nights I write these letters that I will never actually send, but it's nice to get everything off of my chest.
Last night was different. And I'm not sure why. It was like I had this sense of calm come over me. I have really tried to stop worrying about things I cannot change right now. I think I have done a pretty good job with the exception of a few days where my mind wanders and I can't get out of it. But really, last night I just forgot about everything after about 5 minutes of laying down. And I was out like a light...one that was turned off anyway. I know I need to get on a better sleeping schedule but it's hard when I don't have a consistent class schedule throughout the week.
In regards to not being able to change things. I think I actually do have a little of that power, but I also think I exhausted that before I left for England. I am limited to how much I can actually change at this moment, so no point in pushing an issue that I could potentially make worse. I think I noticed that last night. Somethings are better left alone for awhile. Good things never get away. Everything will fall into place.
115 days until I am home. I'm not sure if I should be counting down until I leave...I really do like it here, but I also miss everything at home. Especially ice. =] Gotta throw a joke in there at some point!
So for my internship I am making an informative slideshow about Cheltenham and how to decide to come here, what to pack, what to expect and different aspects of a new culture. I'm pretty excited for it!
I'm not sure where England is taking me, but I think I really like it. It's amazing to discover a different culture but it is even better to discover myself while being here.
