I'm in Derbyshire at the moment! Visiting my Grandad and his wifey Chrissie! We've done lots and have lots planned to do as well! I'm writing this to pass some time quickly as I'm waiting for Jacob to come online once he gets home... Was looking through the new layout and found the page that shows you where people are when they read blogs. Russia and Brazil are highlighted! Wow! I didn't realise this had gone so far! Thanks guys!
Back to my weekend so far! It's been great, we went for a bike ride today down to a pub on the canal, its a ten mile round trip. Five there, and five back. Coming back after a meal was the worst part, the first half anyway! I was so stuffed from eating fish and chips that I just couldn't be bothered to bike back, so I was walking, then Chrissie got a flat tyre! So she took my bike and went back home with Sam and Grandad and I walked the four remaining miles home. It passed quickly though, as I started blabbing about books and stuff!
Weird little fact about me. I love to read. If I get given a good book I will start reading it and I will not stop reading until I have drained every last bit of information from it. I will ring it dry. I get like that with a lot of books. Black Beauty, TrueBlood, The Hungar Games... And, my all time favourite, Lord of the Flies. Which is why I was so happy when we got to read it for school second quarter!
I'm getting off track again! Supposed to be writing about the things I did today! Well, I suppose I don't have to be, it isn't like I specifically have to write about this. But I guess I sorta want to. I was also thinking earlier. I started this to write about how things change as I move to America, but I haven't really been saying much about that. So I'm going to start writing a bit every blog (if I remember) about how I'm feeling toward it!
Now I can't remember what I did today... Great, let me think about it a minute...
Oh yeah! Chrissie and Grandad love to make thier own wine, and this year they are making Dandelion wine! So when we got in, we played a quick game of 'Postcards from America' and headed outside to pick some dandelions! We did get some funny looks and had to explain to a few people what we were doing, but it was worth it! When we came in we bottled some finished wine, and started dinner. We had pasta, sausages, broccoli and chips! It was rather delicious. Then we watched a movie. Memoirs of an Invisable Man. It was really good. Made us all laugh bunches!
While Grandad was checking the snooker after, I noticed he had Lord of the Flies recorded. So I told him we had to watch it tomorrow, so we are getting up early so we can watch it before we go out for breakfast in the morning. I love the movie, its so great, I think it gets the book almost perfectly! Its honestly amazing. Easily in my top movies close to 'The Patriot,' 'Apollo 13' and 'The Princess and the Frog.' I love them all!
So, how am I feeling about the move at the moment? I'm really excited! I have under 20 days left in school, and even though that means I have a LOT of homework, I couldn't care less! It seems almost dreamlike at the moment. I keep thinking there is going to be a huge BANG and I'm going to wake up to find it's all a dream. (Or rather a nightmare, no sane person has a dream where they get 15 shots in one year, plus having blood taken.) However, I am extremely excited, I can't wait to move into housing on the base, to take my finals, to start watching the packers put all our things in boxes and haul them away! Its going to be stressful, yes, but amazing!
Jacob... We've harldy spoken the past few days. Both of us have been extremely tired by the time the other has gotten online and we miss each other by like twenty minutes. I felt terrible when I took a power nap and didn't wake up. Then I slept through my morning alarm and lost more valuable time talking to him. Though, we skyped each other the other morning, it was great to get to see him... I honeslty miss him so much at the moment, I can't wait till I go to Colorado and get to see him!
I'm off to stare at my chat bar now, till he comes online.
