I think I've just come to terms with the fact that this blog just wont get updated much. Its just one of those facts of life.
Not much has been going on lately. Mostly just school everyday with the occasional weekend trip to Whitehaven. I did go to an 18th birthday party this weekend. The host of the party had it at her house, excuse me, I mean castle. Yes, she in fact lives in a castle. Its pretty big, and pretty awesome. But to her its not that weird. In fact, its not really that big of a deal to many people around here. I guess that comes from the fact the the castle to people ratio is much larger in the UK than in the US. Anyways, the party was really good. Its always nice to get away from school every once in a while.
In other news, I have a new addiction. Tea. I have finally embraced the stereotypical English custom of drinking tea all the time. And I must say, I love it. I have tea when I come in from school, after dinner, while studying, and before I go to bed. Its addicting, I swear. Try it.
I have my first rugby match tomorrow! I'm very nervous about it. I don't really know any of the rules so we'll see how it goes. I have a feeling I'm gonna get called out for illegal tackling or something haha. At least I know that you cant pass forwards, hopefully I bluff my way through the rest of the stuff. It should be interesting. Its been a while since I've played a competitive team sport so I'm pretty excited to get back into it.
One thing I've noticed lately (another one of those weird English things) is the use of the word ta. "Ta". Its almost used in the same context as cheers but I still cant quite get the hang of when to use it. Maybe its just something I'll have to practice.
Oh, next Friday I'm going to Rome and meeting up with my Dad,my sister, and my Grandma. And then we're going on a Mediterranean cruise! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see more of that area, I've only really seen Spain. And I still feel like I haven't seen enough of that! I'll do a long blog post afterward and let you guys know how it goes :)
Anyways, I really should get some homework done. I mean, I know this year doesn't count academically but I probably should put a bit of effort in, right?
Adios amigos.
