Customs sucks.

Today I got a letter in the mail. Someone sent me a package. YAYY, right? No. Because Customs is holding it because of international fees. AHHHH. Why can't I just have my package? :(

Anyways, I'm done ranting. I know I said I would update on Saturday but I couldn't be bothered. Sorry.

This weekend we went to Keswick, which is in the Lake District. It was gorgeous! Seriously, you know the lakes in the Harry  Potter movies? And the scenes where you can see the landscapes from the trains? It looked EXACTLY like that. So pretty. Even when raining. We went out on this boat on the lake and it was so amazing. Really funny though when we had to turn the boat around because an umbrella flew out of someones hands and was floating on the lake. Oh and I also had my first authentic scone. So good!

I think because people are getting to know each other more and getting more comfortable, they don't mind asking questions about my background. This week I've been getting a lot of inquiries about life in America. And people have been voicing their opinion a little bit more freely too. Last week we had a guest lecture and he asked the audience a question and he jokingly says "You know I usually talk about how ignorant Americans are, you know how they don't know anything about anyone else and they're only concerned with themselves but I think you guys are proving me wrong". I think every person in the room turned around and looked at me for my reaction. SO EMBARRASSING. Its not that I mind when people talk to me about America, but its starting to get a little uncomfortable because I feel like I'm constantly fighting off stereotypes.

I always think of things to put in my blog but forget to write them when I get here. Maybe I'll post again tomorrow.

Goodnight.
