Wow, I realised earlier how long it's been since I blogged... Before Christmas when I was super excited to get home. And there's not much I can say about Christmas other than how wonderfully cosy it was, from the second I was greeted at the airport by Zac it was just the best to be home. To drive, to be fed proper meals, cosy in my bed cuddling my cat and finally feel Christmassy!
Had limited time at home to see people but managed to fit in a few things which were all lovely. Then was off to Florida before I knew it. It really is home from home, just so cosy from the second we stepped in.
Florida was incredible, yet again. I want to live in America. My mum gave me her room while I was ill, so i had more space...massive bed, double en suite, lights all around the mirrors, I just want that when I'm older! But anyway, Florida was great, food was great, pool was great. Disney was incredible even at 21 and for about the 20th time doing it. We turned into Disney dons, and I turned into the best navigator ever. My Florida sense of direction is amazing, even when drunkenly getting us home in a taxi. But most importantly all the family time was just the best this holiday. Already can't wait for the day we go back again.
As you can imagine, I didn't want to leave the 25 degrees behind. Let alone come straight back here to Malaga without even popping home. It was the longest day of my life, and I was miss emotional 2013. I literally cried buckets. Was just so overwhelming to so suddenly be back, but say bye to my family so quick after landing and get on a bus to Gatwick straight away by myself to head back here.
I was dreading coming back because of exams. It's just not a nice thought! Exams are hard enough as it is, let alone when you have to be able to have high enough stadards of Spanish to answer them all well. So I've been very homesick, worried about exams, stressed in general, ill aaaand lost my appetite completely. And then to top it off, my laptop broke. Completely kaput. So now I have the challenging of completing exams without a laptop.
Thanks to Sammie, who's an actual babe, I have a laptop on loan for a few days. I have also completed one exam already. Revised hard for another. Got sent three months work by my group (Think they just feel sorry for me for being so bad at Spanish they didn't want my help to compile the portfolio - completely ok with this). Booked my flight home and to china. And an embassy appointment booked. All of a sudden things got a bit clearer.
However there is a big depression in Malaga that appears to be affecting nearly everyone here. We're all on such downers, hating life and feeling homesick whilst being worried sick about somehow pulling exams out of the bag. So wish us luck and hope we cheer our grumpy guts up soon... I personally am hoping the alcohol on Friday will help us with this...
Also, just over 4 weeks and I'll be moving to China. Woooooaahhh.
On that note I'm off to sleep! Buenas noches xx
Hi
ReplyDeleteI may have left but am determined to see how you get on in china too! Sorry to hear it's all been stressful, I can sympathise, I've not had the best few weeks myself - but I've booked to go see a former basque tutor in the basque country on saturday - i'm quite nervous so i tell myself if you can all travel around, I can too. So just think, you are all inspiring me to be brave. I hope that the exams go ok - don't worry too much, it's not the end of the world if one or two are tough. As you know, things go on. I look forward to hearing about china. Take care Lily x
I love you like crazy FE. I know it has been an emotional journey for you - but just remember how amazing you are. Inside and out. You give all of us a run for our money. I love you and miss you like crazy and I am so excited to keep reading about your amazing adventures. I'm here every step of the way even though I'm no longer close. xoxoxoxx
