Lots to update! Well...kinda
Last weekend Kimmy and I went to Totnes on Sat and we had a blast! We found a painting your own pottery place, and they had a fondue set there for 5 pounds! We walked around the town..it was really kute. Sunday we head over to Exeter..that was also fun, not as great. Sunday a lot of shops were closed, so it kinda sucked.
Tomorrow I'm heading back out to London for the night! I am gonna meet up w/some friends and we are going out to a club in London for an early birthday celebration! :) Then Sunday Kimmy and I are heading back over to Totnes to pick up our pottery and make a teachers mug for ourselves. Thursday night I tink, maybe Friday us Americans are heading out to celebrate finishing England, and also my birthday! Sat I tink Kimmy and I are doing the Eden Project, Sunday is Lizard Pen, Monday is Agatha Christy's place..Tuesday is picking up the mugs from Totnes and maybe some shopping, Wed Kimmy and I head to Uncle Peter's for the night, then Thursday May 5th..we get on the plane to fly back to America!
I have been observed 3 times so far, twice from Wendy (my supervisor) and once from Mrs. Ellis (my co-op). I have gotten 1 3 in the total of all three sheets! I have gotten maybe 15 4s, and all the rest (like 30 or something) are 5s! Not too badly...esp since the 3 is something that she told me not to do but then marked me down for it...whatever. :) I have three more observations to go..Wendy is on Monday and I dunno when Mrs. Ellis is doing my last 2.
What else? Oh..I made Jason go broke w/o meaning to. Jason's dad was gonna send him over here for a week, but Jason has to pay for calls over here. Well how was I to know that it's like $0.30/minute to call here but only $0.06/minute to call there? So we racked up a good phone bill (or a few)..and so now Jason is broke. My bad..I just knew I couldn't keep paying for food, travelling, gifts for people, and phone calls. But yeah...it sucks. Not just b/c now we can't do the date we had been planning unless I pay and I can't afford it w/the weddings, the cruise, my new car, and this trip. So no date for the two of us when I get home, no more phone calls, and I feel really badly b/c he was going on this car show tour thingy this weekend and he says now he can't go. Nothing like a little guilt to lay on me, but I know he was just explaining why he changed his plans. So yeah, I made him go broke...so that sucks. I feel really badly...enough pity party..life goes on.
I'm heading home soon! 2 weeks from today! I heard our gowns are maroon but we have light blue hoods..how tacky is that?! ;) I can't believe i'm talking about all of this...I'm graduating in 2 weeks and 2 days! FROM COLLEGE! Wow..and what's really surprising is the people that are "actually" coming...Aunt Florence, Uncle Norton, Mom, Daddy, Eric, BJ, and even Jason and Brooke! Not to be a downer, but we'll see who shows up..I'm not getting my hopes up. My daddy and mom are the ones coming to pick me up from the airport!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait..I'm ready to be home. I miss it, but I know when I get there I will be so anxious to leave somewhere, so I'm going to take advantage of these next two weeks. I know when I get home there are so many thigns I have to take care of and think about (me being broke, work, weddings, presents, family matters, finding a job for the fall...etc) so I want to live a "stress free" life a little longer...
enough of me whining..I just got a letter from Penguin today! I read it in practicum and almost started to cry! Lasa, your letter ment so much to me, thank you. You are an amazing person and I treasure every day that I know you are my best friend. We have made it through so much shit, and haven't lost each other...I love you Lisa...u are the sister of my heart forever. I love you penguin! "hit me baby..."
