Harlaxton Entry 4
Progress report for the week. The week was pretty decent, with only a couple hiccups. That kinda made my week. c:
One hiccup was when I turned off my alarm to wake up, and did not realize that I had done so. Apparently I was so tired that I have no recollection of doing this. My exhaustion resulted in my missing the British Studies lecture, which, in all retrospect... is not good. God, Monday seems like it happened so long ago, I keep thinking I've missed two lectures (ignoring the first one).
I think Tuesday and Wednesday went by well enough, as I don't remember anything spectacular happening besides getting a minor chew-out by Ekida-sensei and a financial panic attack. This was made up for Thursday, so I'm not feeling it as bad as I did.
The financial panic attack kinda came with the fact that my brain was failing at the whole English pound is worth more than the USD. My card was declined when I was trying to book my flight to Amsterdam, but fortunately, it was a fuck-up on eveyone's part (I take most of the blame though). Parents want me to travel, and I'm borderline broke. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to see all of Europe with less than $100 in my account. Gonna have to talk to them about that. Especially with my dad pressing me to get a Euro-train pass. I have no idea how much that costs, and I doubt I can afford it with the trip to Northen Ireland coming up in a couple weeks. Gah! ;m;
Thursday was awesome for the sole reason that the D&D campaign finally started. Didn't go to bed last night until 3.30-ish, so I'd say it was a blast - even if there were classes scheduled for today (Friday). We made nice progress for a first session... I think. We got all the characters together in less than 4 hours, and we might be using skype to convey what our characters are doing. That's good for me cause I RP better typing than LARPing. However, it turns out I did my character wrong, so I'm going to have to fix it before the next meeting. I'm going to lose some of my spells. Sad day.
I started my BFOI piece today, and made some progress. I still have so much to do, even after 5 or more hours working on it. I'm going to be busy, cause this piece is due in about 7 days. e.e" What have I gotten myself into? Lol.
On a somewhat depressing note, I'm beginning to feel the way I did in middle school over here. That third-wheel feeling is coming back, even though I have four friends here. It doesn't help that two of them are dating and one I can't get along with half the time. I think I'm going to have to shove this lonely-ish feeling to the side, because I really don't want to become a pessimistic shell with friends that aren't really friends. God, I need to talk to Allison, and get this off my chest. -_-"
I'll be exploring the outside of Harlaxton again tomorrow, apparently there's a huge garden on the part of campus I haven't explored. This needs to change soon. c:
