julia vs. the blog

i'm more sorry than i've ever been about not blogging. i'm getting even worse. it's becoming the bane of my existence. but i like documenting my whole life. it's a sick cycle.

i’ve gotten more settled into my room. we’ve kind of worked about the space issue. i stored a small suitcase of stuff in my friends room. the first week back, my friend karsten switched places with his twin brother who goes to torchbearers in sweden. we asked his brother hans for the names of his friends in sweden & we wrote them love letters. karsten brought back a response letter from the guy that jamie wrote to. allegedly the other guys just didn’t get time to write back. likely story. but they did think it was funny. rob whittaker is going to the sweden school to lecture next week & he always asks if we have letters to send to people there. guess who we wrote letters to. hopefully we’ll get a response back. fingers crossed.

i’ve been reading the hunger games. have you heard of it? so. good. i read the first two books & i won’t let myself read the third one until i finish my assignments. i cannot wait for the movie in the SPRING.

i pretty much sleep through breakfast all the time. i don’t always mean to. it just happens. i don’t know why i’m so much more tired this term. i got up the other morning & i was so incredibly proud of myself.

we’ve been planning our travels for spring break. first is ireland, then spain for a week. there’s a huge group of us going to spain & we’re splitting the cost of a villa. i’m pretty pumped. i might go to italy after. maybe...

the guy who wrote soul surfer was our lecturer last week. soul surfer being about the girl, bethany hamilton the surfer who got her arm bitten off by a shark. he talked about the economy of God. like, what really matters in the kingdom of God. it was really good.

my room had our first roomie night. we ate popcorn & watched 300. it was a lovely girls night.

we've have way too many assignments. i don't like it.

my ten day outreach group is going to a church near leeds in the end of february. last weekend we went there to see the church & plan our outreach with the pastor. it was good to get away & my host family is so nice. it's a couple with a fifteen year old girl and thirteen year old boy. they're darling. we playing the game of life with them. it's always nice to be in a home. 

the weekend before we went to LIVERPOOL. my friend arianna & i went to the beatles museum & the museum of livepool. it was one of my favourite places i've been. it's a really nice town. i would like to go back sometime. i didn't get to see their houses or any of that. it's right on the sea so it was insanely windy. like, unbelievably so.

briar & arianna & i got to go to a nearby farm & meet baby sheep. they are the cutest thing in the world & when they 'bahhhh' they stick out their little tongues. life. changed.

since i'm staying the extra bit for school, i have to figure out my visa which ends in may. i think we've worked it out. i probably won't be kicked out of the country. 

so, that's this last month. maybe i'll do better this month? maybe not. i just turned in my last essay. holla.

the end.
