Well I thought I would try writing a blog and see how it goes. I figured if I couldn't tell you exactly about my day I would - for those of you who know my Mum's and I diary methods - use it as a food diary.
Today is day 3 of classes. Had maths and english this morning. Maths at the moment is addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Eg. what is the product of 5 and 6, is what I do for 1.25 hours. At least it is easy. Then to English - in class on essay on what would it be like if you couldn't read. Then to lunch. 2 hour nap. And now here, procrastinating writing an essay. I have one more class this afternoon. It is a 7 week subject on self reflection, time management, personal goals etc. Sewing is very easy as we are sewing buttons on. Drawing on the other hand is proving very difficult. I think my teacher can tell I don't like it. He is far too enthusiastic.
So thus far today for food -
Breakfast - Toast, Bowl yogurt, strawberries and granola. Piece of watermelon and took an apple.
Lunch - Hawaiian burger - sliced beef and coleslaw. Bowl of salad. Took another apple.
My desk is covered in apples as I take one at every meal but tend to only eat one a day if I am lucky.
Today is not as hot. I have many assignments and the stress has begun, along with the lack of sleep. I thought I worked out the shower but I was wrong. There are 2 showers for 20 girls, but every time I go in there the bathroom is deserted. But obviously the hot water runs out fast - like i said i am glad it is hot outside. Supposedly they are coming to split the bunk beds today. I have been on my mattress on the floor to avoid sleeping in paranoia of falling off as there is no railing.
Not sure when I am going to be able to make a trip into Burbank to get a phone and snacks as there is limited time. They are in the process of changing internet servers so it is still slow at the moment. We get updates each day so hopefully soon. Not many people are picking up the accent, they say it isn't that strong. So that is interesting. Haven't taken any photos yet. I will when our bed gets split.
I will let you know that I am not homesick at all. I am having a great time and loving it! I am in my happy place.
If you have any particular things that you want to know I will write them.
