Side Notes

Fun Fact #1 When I first got here, I had no shower curtain, which was interesting. I am fortunate enough to have my own bathroom which is cool because I am in a single. However, in America, singles are not the norm and they are more expensive. Everyone here seems to have a single though, so that makes the homesickness harder because you go to bed and wake up alone. Per usual, the mornings are way more tough for me and it doesn't help that home is 5 hours behind, so I can't call home when I wake up unless I wake up at two.

Fun Fact #2 British people are much more closed off and reserved than Americans and they don't seem to ever need sleep

Fun Fact #3 EVERYONE here smokes, BUT they will not go fake tanning because "it causes cancer".. hmmmm....?

Fun Fact #4 Grocery shopping makes me homesick and every store here has random things. There are like sneakers next carrots next to stationary next to tampons. It's bizarre and hard to explain unless you're actually here

Fun Fact #5 THERE IS NO WIRELESS INTERNET IN THE DORMS! Who lives like that anymore? So I am chained to my desk and a small spot on my bed thanks to my 3 foot ethernet cord until I get my package from mom & dad.

Fun Fact #6 I never actually thought I'd miss Roger Williams..

Fun Fact #7 It's amazing how much slower you go through TP when you live by yourself..

Fun Fact #8 The night bus is similar to the one in Harry Potter

Fun Fact #9 Being here makes you appreciate everyone who has ever been good you and forget about the people who haven't

Fun Fact #10 Fun Fact #2 is NOT an exaggeration, these people don't sleep

Fun Fact #11 This education system isn't too far off from a joke

Fun Fact #12 Not so fun fact, I still cry from time to time

Fun Fact #13 I'm learning a lot about myself and how sentimental I am, like the girl in Mean Girls, I have a lot of feelings

To Be Continued (I'm sure).....
