Hello all!
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I know I did! It was great to be back at home with my family and friends. But alas, I am back in the UK at school.
My journey back was sort of uneventful. Other than the fact I sobbed on the phone to my mother because I didn't want to come back to school, it all went pretty smoothly. I never thought I would get tired of seeing airports. It used to be a really exciting thought-jetsetting through different airports and countries. I guess I kind of take it for granted now that its become a normal thing. I'm actually quite tired of aiports, isnt that sad? But I am glad I have the opportunity to do everything I'm doing. Dont get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all, just want to make that clear. Its just funny how years ago I wouldve never seen myself where I am now.
Since I've been back at school I've realized that there are a few things about the British that I missed dearly while I was at home.
1. Chocolate. I'm sorry but Hersheys just doesnt really cut it anymore. I'm a Galaxy girl now, and you can only get that in England.
2. Accents. I started to get annoyed with the accents right before I left, probably because I had heard enough of them to last me a while, but after spending two weeks in the US I have a renewed appreciation for the Brits speech. I've also got my little accent back as well.
3. Their obsession with Friends (the tv show). I have quite enjoyed sitting down at night and watching episodes of the beloved 90s show.
And a few things I haven't missed.
1. The weather. Really? Does it HAVE to be this cold? Its just unneccesary.
2. The rooster that lives outside my window. My hopes that he had been eaten for Christmas dinner were dashed when he woke me up at 5 am the first morning back.
3. The food. I miss American food even more now. Good thing half of my suitcase I brought back was food. Back to beans and toast I guess.
Not really much eventful has happened since I've been back. I started playing rugby. And I absolutely love it. Today I'm quite sore because we started playing tackle rugby yesterday and I think I might get into it a little too much. But trust me, I'm not the only one. Now that I'm playing rugby here I wish we'd had it at Chatham because I definitely would've loved to play it throughout high school.
School is a lot quieter these days because my lovely Germans went home after spending their semester abroad. It feels empty to me but its also kind of nice because I can get a decent nights sleep with no interruptions of the German kind.
Anyways, I better go. Might miss a showing of Friends!
Much love,
Maddy
