Anyway, it's weird, I keep having these conversations with my friends about leaving. I don't know why, no one wants to talk about it, but we do. I had a long one with Monica the other night, who thinks my prophecy about being forced on the plane just might come true. She is here until the 19th of June at least, and was telling me that she does not want to leave at all. I don't blame her, I don't want to leave, and neither does anyone I know. I knew this would be a fun experience, but it's been something out of this world! I'm going to miss everyone, Baz and Martin too. Martin is just so cute, he's like a cute little 12 year old, and then I'm going to miss Baz's laugh, it's so funny. We imitate it a lot... hehe. I'm so going to miss our family dinners, we sit around and watch the Simpsons and Hollyoaks. Well not the Simpsons every night, but at 6:30pm, we are all in the kitchen, expect Baz... weird.
Elyse told me the other day that she wishes she did a year. I asked her if she could hear the whispering voice in her ear saying, "Told you so", and that it was me. I'm cruel, but I did tell her she should do a year. Who listens to me though? I couldn't imagine just doing a semester, there is so much I still long to do, but I'm running out of time. I feel that I've really emerged in the culture, and I fit in a lot better than I did when I first got here. I can understand Baz and Martin, that deserves a prize in its own. I mean, I have to get use to the accents, and then Baz is from the north, so that's a whole different accent. It no longer confuses me when he says, "All right?" as a form of greeting. When I first got here, I would be like, "yeah you?" Now I just say "hey, whats up?" I don't care whats up, and he doesn't want to know how I am... I get it.
The title of this entry goes to last night, we watched Lost of course. Every Thursday, I download it, Jenna comes over, and we watch Lost. It usually involves us screaming like girls, especially when the two people got buried alive, or when Charlie might be killed, oh wait that's just me. I'm so glad I got Kathleen and Amaya into Lost, it's no fun watching it by yourself. But after Lost, we played charades in my room. We did movies, and at first I so not into it. I acted out shooting an arrow, and Amaya guessed Robin Hood. Yeah I was not into it, but by the end I was climbing into my wardrobe trying to act out The Insider. LOL! I did that and kept glaring at Maximus, but no one got the hint. The first one was funny, Kathleen kept leaving my room, and then pretending there was wind, and Jenna could not get it. I was trying to find a preview for next week for Lost, and without even looking up, I said, "Gone with the Wind." I was right. Lol! Jenna was so mad. The other good one was when I did The English Patient, and I kept pointing at the wall, well next door to me which is Martin's room, and they finally figured out it was Martin, and that he is English. So then I did second word, and I started to fall to the ground in a controlled way, to be a patient, and Amaya said, "The English Patient", and I guess I was disappointed that she got it, that I really just fell to the ground, and yeah that hurt. I lost control... floor is not soft. We laughed about that one for awhile. Or Amaya did the Mighty Boosh... and she was playing with her hair, and sticking it up, and she was trying to show Vince's hair... I got it, not even sure why I said the Mighty Boosh, but she was just being a mod. We played for a while though, and acted out Hot Fuzz, English Patient, The Insider, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, From Hell, Pirates, Narnia, The Mighty Ducks, Alpha Dog, The Count of Monte Crisco, Crash (I fell into Amaya for that), um so many others, all from our movie collections. It was so much fun, but before we knew it, it was getting late. Before Jenna went home, I made tea and put it in my Harrod's teapot, I promised Jenna I would make tea for her using it. She loved it.
I guess I tell the story of charades, because this blog goes places, tell stories of dreams, and yet a lot of the time I hang around Kingston, and the Bridge House. We have so much fun doing nothing, playing a game of charades, or sitting around drinking tea. Right now I'm laying on my bed watching the Tutors, and just writing. I should be eating, because I did promise to arrive at class a little early. I guess times like last night are the ones I will miss the most, well other than traveling around Europe. The friends I have made here: Kathleen, Amaya, Jenna are three of my dearest friends I have. I know everyone says this, and I do many times, but I can't think what I did without them. Especially Kathleen and Amaya... I spend so much time with them, but I never grow sick of them. My thoughts these days are constantly on the thought of going home, and I just hate it. I do love America, I am eager to see everyone, BUT, then the thought plagues me if I ever will see the girls again. Will I ever see Sammie again?? Argh. I did know that leaving would be different, but this is going to be the death of me. And I know that my parents must love this entry.
But that's about it. Elyse's cousin is here, so I might be going into London with them tomorrow. We had lunch the other day, we went to Lloyds, and they liked that. The Kingston Study Abroad Office is saying goodbye to us on a cruise of the Thames... oh yes, so exciting. I heard a few girls are really dressing up for this, like in real dresses, and I laughed at that. Jeans and a blouse all the way. We will be going like to Richmond and around that area, not to London sadly. That would be fun!
Well I suppose I should get going, I have to do a presentation today in class about the English situation in America. The making English the official language stuff to be exact. My group is made up of Alex, who is Greek, Francisco and Brian who are Spanish, and Tariq who is English.. and then me! They let me choose the question, so of course I picked the one on America... am I stupid??? I did have to help them figure out who's who, and what are reliable sources, but it's been fun. We present today in the form of a debate, and it's Tariq and I against the other boys. Tariq and I are pro english... woohoo. Of course before we start the debate, I have to tell everything I know about American history in about 2 seconds. So much fun, I have to talk about 1776, and I love doing that in England. I always want to go, "England lost? Against who? Farmers what?" Hehhehe.
Wish me luck!
