You know what is really nice? Coming home from a summer trip not insane.  Not coming off some barely legal malarial tablets (Uganda) or the general chaos that ensued on the end of last summer's trip to Ghana. No traumatization. No lost passports. No missed funerals. ust quiet. I kinda dig it ( Read more... )

This is no longer funny. I'm still sick. I've had 5 hours sleep and have been sleepwalking my way through london all effing day. I arrived at the airport tonight (5 hours before checkin) to save on futile hotel costs as my plane leaves insanely early. People are sleeping everywhere. I just want a chair. just one chair and a little effing sleep you ( Read more... )

Okay to be honest I don't have that much to say. I've arrived in England safe and sound and am chilling with the relatives. I've never fully realized how GORGEOUS this place is. My grandmother's house (now shared with an aunt, uncle and two cousins) is a beautiful bungalow with a gorgeous garden of creeping ivy and flowers over old gardens walls ( Read more... )
