Day 125

Happy Birthday to my best friend Emily Stack! It is upsetting that I am not around to celebrate the big 21 with her, but I am sure we will make up for it.

Another beautiful day out in Leeds. I woke up around eleven and then got ready to go to the park with everyone again. Today I busted out my bathing suit top because it was that nice out. I was not laying the proper way so me left side got redder than my right side. It was pretty funny and of course Brian and Marieta made fun of me for it. What else is new. Haha I love them both though. I got a shower in around four and then met up with Brian and Marieta to head to the airport and pick up Valentina! Today she was arriving back with her green card! Her flight landed around 5:30 and once she arrived we said our hellos and congrats and then got a taxi back to Woodhouse. The four of us got ready and then headed out to dinner and some drinks to celebrate. We went to some Chinese place for dinner, which was nice, and then when we went for drinks I was the only one who got asked for ID. It happens to me all the time, never fails. WE got back around eleven and then hung out in flat nine for a bit as Tatiana and Tony were headed back to the states tomorrow. I got make to my flat around midnight, got ready for bed, watched an episode of How I Met Your Mother and then went to sleep.

Day 124

Today was another beautiful day outside. A bunch of us lay outside in the park and got some sun. The guys played basketball and football and the girls just soaked up the rays. I got a bit of color.  When I went to go back to my room to shower I could not get into my room. My key was not working. It worked getting into the building and into my flat but when I tried it on my room it would just flash red and then green and not open. So I called UPP and it took them an hour to arrive. So I went over to Brian’s and hung out with him until I saw UPP arrive. The man let me into my room and then changed the battery in my door for the lock. It worked after that! A bunch of us planned to go to the Eldon at seven to watch a football match. It was a big game for our German friends. I wanted to shower before I went, but by the time UPP arrived and let me into my room there was no time. So I met up with Brian and then we headed over to the Eldon to meet everyone else ad watch the game. I was so tired that I started falling asleep at the pub watching the game. Of course Brian caught me and was getting his video ready on his camera. He loves catching those moments of me. I left at half time to shower and take a quick nap. I set my alarm for nine, but I wound up sleeping until eleven. I got woken up by Brian calling me and telling me to get outside and come drink with them. So I got dressed, grabbed my wine and went out back to play cards with some people. It was still so nice outside. By the time I got in and ready for bed it was about two in the morning. 

Day 123

Today was really nice out. Marieta, Brian and myself went for a walk. Instead of walking into town we headed in the other direction towards Headingly campus and hit those little shops on the way. I wound up getting an England football shirt at a thrift shop. There is a little hole in the collar, but you can barely notice it. During our walk we stopped at a pub and grabbed a drink. Then on the walk back we stopped and got some food. While we were eating a whole bunch of people entered the pub all dressed up. They were all doing the Otley run. It was quite entertaining. We all had a good laugh. After lunch we took a taxi back as we were lazy to walk all that way back. When we got back I showered and then went outside to drink and hang out with everyone. They had a little tent set up and had music going and everything. It was really nice. After that I went out to Mint club with all my English mates since I have not been out with them in ever. It was a fun night. Of course I was the first one to leave. I can’t stay out until six and seven like they do. When I got back I just went to bed.

Day 122

Today I woke up and then went into town with Marieta. She needs to find an apartment for the summer so we stopped by the Unipol in town to see what they had available. Then we stopped by the bank and then headed over to the gym. After the gym I showered and then just hung around with Marieta and Brian. It was a pretty relaxing day.

Day 121

Today is the day of my last exam. I got up at seven and got ready to catch the bus over to Headingly. I got there around 8:40 and got settled in the exam area. The tested started at nine and was three hours long. Of course I stayed for the whole three hours. I had to answer four out of five questions, which does not seem that bad, but each question is worth 25 points. The first question was not so bad and my hopes began to rise, but after I turned the page and read the other questions I knew that Management Accounting 3 was going to win. I chose the questions that I thought I could get the most points on. I put down every little piece of work that I could in hopes that I will get more points. When noon came around the exam was over and I was officially done with Uni. It felt nice, but at the same time I was worried about the test that I had just taken. I took the bus back to my flat. When I got back I put some laundry in, showered and ate. After that I took about a three-hour nap until seven and then hung out with Marieta and Brian. 

Day 120

I woke up during the middle of the night soaking wet. My shirt was drenched and even my sheets were wet. I was sweating everything out in my sleep. It was gross and I felt nasty, but there was nothing I could do about it. I went back to sleep, but not for long because I heard everyone come barging into the flat around 4:30am. They all went out and obviously came back to mine. What else is knew. Now, usually I don’t mind, but due to the fact that I was just getting over being sick and had a big exam the next day I was livid. The music was blaring in Luke’s room so he didn’t hear the phone ring or people knocking at the door. Of course I heard it all. At one point the people at the door just kept consistently knocking loudly until they were heard. I heard about the whole minute of knocking and was so angry that I had to get out of bed to answer the door, When I answered the door the guy was standing out there with drink in hand and all smiley, but that smile went away real quick when I answered the door. He got the look of death from me. Then one of the guys came out of the room and said hi to me and he got the death stare as well. I later heard them talking in the hall that I seemed really mad. They were quite right. After I got up and had breakfast I packed up my books and headed to the library, as I didn’t want to deal with my mates. I was in the library for about five hours studying. Marieta even came over to keep me company and read a magazine that she had wanted to read. After the library I went back to my flat, ate a little something and showered. Once I was decent I went downstairs to continue studying. I basically just sprawled my stuff out all over the twin’s kitchen table, Brian and Marieta went to the Eldon, as it was Tuesday. They tried to get me to go, but I had to get as much studying in as I could. After they left I took a twenty-minute nap and then got back to studying. At around one am I headed off to bed.

Day 119

Today I woke up feeling ok. Now, just so you now I planned to go to Amsterdam before I left for home on the 29^th, but due to me being sick and just wanting to go home because all you want to do is be home when you are sick, Amsterdam was looking slim. I chatted with my mom and she said that I should just come home early and not go to Amsterdam. Of course my dad agreed as well. I was really considering that, but I knew that I would regret not going to Amsterdam. So instead of spending four days in Amsterdam I changed the return flight and now we would only be spending tow days there. After doing that I had some yogurt and then went back to sleep for about another hour. While I was sleeping UPP came in my room to check the window or something. I do not like that fact that they can just come in whenever. It was quite weird because I was just lying in my bed and they were doing their thing. They were only there for about a minute but still. After they left I got up and finally felt myself. I got dressed and did some revision for my exam on Wednesday, Now, I should have been studying for this exam the whole past week, but of course I was dying in bed and had no energy to focus on anything except for sleeping. I e-mailed my professor and she said that I could take the re-sit exam as my first exam, but I would have to take it at the same time that it started in England. So if the exam started in England at nine, I would have to be prepared to take it at four in the morning. Not only that but I would have to take it Purchase and it would be during the week of July 26^th, which is the week right after my 21^st birthday and that would be the last thing that I want to think about, so I decided to just take it on Wednesday. I ate some soup, procrastinated a little and then the fire alarm went off. I went over to Brian’s as I was just getting over being quite ill and did not want to stand out in the cold. After it stopped I went back to my room and tried to continue to study. I was highly unmotivated so it was hard, but I tried. After that I went to bed.
