Yesterday was my birthday and most of it was miserable. Then my exam was over at 5 and it was wonderful from then on. I came home to the most wonderful package from my mom and Miz Nancy, and then had 20 people at my birthday dinner! We had a wonderful meal, then I bought everyone Cadbury eggs to celebrate and was able to make it a pretty early night since today I fly out to Belfast!
I am still not recovered from exams and now our shower has no hot water at all. It's freezing and stays freezing, so i am putting off the shower until the hostel in Ireland tonight. yay. Paige and I did go to Northpoint for pancakes and hot chocolate this morning, though, so that made everything a little more bearable. Anyhow, in honor of my birthday, I blog today about ten of the ways that I've changed since getting here. Hopefully I will be able to blog while in Belfast as well. Enjoy!
1.I eat a LOT of cheese.
2.When in America or Switzerland I have an irresistible desire to shower not once, but twice a day.
3.I now know what capers and scallions are.
4.My laundry detergent is called “Automatic Biological Washing Powder”. Can you tell it’s generic?
5.I can use cathedral ruins or a castle as landmarks when telling people how to get to my house, depending on whether they are coming from North Street or The Scores , respectively.
6.I collect aprons and tea cups as if it’s a disorder.
7.I have a computer charger, blowdryer, and straightener built for UK sockets.
8.My flatmate said that she could not imagine how anyone could find me to be difficult. Without a note of sarcasm.
9.I live without air-conditioning, and get heat from water in an ancient-looking contraption.
10.I drink my tea with a spot of milk and half teaspoon of sugar, not iced with a cup of sugar.
What has not changed is that I love and miss you all.
