Thursdays LOW: Realizing that this paper is going to require a lot more reading than I was expecting. Thursdays HIGH: Finding out I had a package to pick up. Fridays LOW: Thinking about budgeting. Why cant we all just be millionaires? Fridays HIGH: Dancing to Michael Jackson So I got up on Thursday for my new business class. I was sooooooooo tired and was only motivated by how good the class had been on Wednesday. The class was great again, and the professor called me out when he saw that I had bought the book he told us about on Wednesday. Theres this survey online that the book gives the code to and so the teacher had asked me if I took the survey. When I told him I had, he asked me what my 5 ... read more

Fridays LOW: Im gonna go with FREEZING again. Fridays HIGH: Enjoying the Nandos experience. So on Wendnesday, my body decided to set out on a mission to make me completely miserable! I had the worst back ache in the entire world, so bad that it caused my stomach to ache. I cringed in bed for a couple hours and eventually borrowed a hot water bottle and one of those microwave bead things to help. After a couple more hours, and 6 tylenol I started to feel a little better. I read for my cannibalism class and headed out early so that I could print off the reading to review for ... read more

Sundays LOW: Finding out how expensive the gym was. Sundays HIGH: Its a toss up between watching the season finally of VM, the walk home from the gym, and finally watching an American sport. Mondays LOW: Not going to Top B. Mondays HIGH: Shopping. Tuesdays LOW: Freezing in and outside. Tuesdays HIGH: Winning spit. Well on Saturday night I ended up finishing Veronica Mars, Season 2. It was unblieveable! I stayed up till 9:30am to finish it, but it was well worth it. Because I had stayed up so late, I didnt wake up until around 3pm on Sunday. I grabbed some lunch and then went to the gym. It was like $6 for one time...so Im not sure what to do about the membership. If I want to be able to afford groceries for ... read more

It could be a beautiful image, lone woman on an empty country train platform, looking down the tracks,wind gently blowing her hair. Could be. Instead it was me, in a cloud of expletives, laden down like a pack donkey, waddling along the tracks, hair blowing into my mouth. And so I waited for British Rail to whisk me away from my home for the last 6 months, 'The Boot' in Lapworth. Thats right, six months of slaving away as a bar wench in a a small town on the outskirts of Birmingham. Sounds bleak. Not really though. I've loved almost every minute of my time with the amazing Boot people who've looked after me so well. Time has flown by, just when I'd remembered all the regulars drinks, knew all the village gossip and started ... read more

Tuesdays HIGH: Compliments on dinner and watching a hilarious YouTube video. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=10VmJ-8XGA4) Wednesdays LOW: CANNIBALISM CLASS! Wednesdays HIGH: Interesting convo after dinner. So on Monday I had 4 classes, and a presentation in one of them. Mondays are definitely the longest day. I went to my first two classes and in the second one got the WORST stomach ache, I could barely walk. I went back to my room to lay down and missed my third class. But recovering gave me more time to prepare for my presentation in my film class and I felt better after a couple hours. The presentation went well, I actually felt like ... read more

Well, I did stay up watching online TV for a while on Wednesday night and eventually passed out relatively early-4am. I felt SO sick. I was really achey, had a pressure headache, and the worst somache ache. I really thought that I was getting the flu, so I tried some Airborne and it worked!! I didnt feel too good until later on Thursday, but the acheyness finally stopped and I beat the sickness! I slept in on Thursday and eventually got to Tesco to buy ingredients for my 2nd dinner. I came back and started to cook, it took forever! I made roasted red pepper cream sauce and chicken with penne and then some bruschetta. It was really good, everyone liked it and I was happy once again. Thats definitely a good recipe for anyone who ... read more
