oh dear. oh dear oh dear oh dear.
What a mistake i have made.
Im in england. Ashford Middlesex, quite close to london.
I wish to god i was back home.
If i had one wish, if a fairy god mother came and gave me a wish, it'd be that i never left. That i never even had this stupid idea to go accross the other side of the world for a whole fucking year. Even if it was for 6 months that would be better, but a year is just too long.
Im thinking if it doesnt get better im just going to leave after 6 months. They can go fuck themselves. I'll stay in england for halfterm (go to ireland) and summer break (contiki round europe + holiday iwth family in greek islands) and if i hate it here at school, i'll go home.
Schools awesome looking. 3 story old building, looks like a castle. Huge oval, and a lake. Uniform the girls have to wear is hidious. Green and red monstrosity.
They have sit down lunch, like.. in a dining hall, like they ahve in american movies.... weird. Only a small school pupil wise, 350 kids from kindy to 'sixth form' which is quite tiny really. Merici and grammar were both so much bigger than that, and they're only 7-12. Boarding house tho is tiny, only 20 kids, and most of them are asians who're over here to learn how to speak english... so not so great to talk to.
Freya, the girl whos at my school with me is nice, we talk, but shes not my 'friend' yet. shes still only an aquaintence.
Still i've only been in the uk for 4 days, and only at the school for 2, so im not really stressing... welll..... no, i am stressing, but im clinging to hope that things will pick up.
anywho. its all pretty boring, i have the day off here. I havnt even started work yet, coz my first day of working is my allocated day off. Which bites. I've been wandering round the local town, and later i think i might go into staines, which is where there are a few more shops. But even that is abit of a let down, like.... what can i do. I do want to go into london, but i dont have an itinery or anything yet, so i'll work out where i want to go, and maybe book a tour thing on one of those red double decker busses (like what they have in canberra.. they have them here too) and you can get on and off whereever. Yeah, so i'll try that. Freya's and my days off are totally different, so i'll be doing site seeing all by myself. Which bites.
Im hopeing i make a few mates with other gappies in the area, and some of them will have the day off same as me. Otherwise... its going to be a lonley 6 months (which is how long im staying for if i dont make anyfriends and am lonely)
Anwho. the usuage on this computer is timed, so i might be off.
Feel free to drop me an email or whatever peeps
