Day 34 2/13/12

Rise and shine. Had to wake up bright and early to head to the tube station. I went with Amanda (my GA) to go see what I could do with my oyster card (my ticket to get on buses/tubes). I found out that I could not transfer all my funds over as quickly as I wanted to but I had to buy a new one and then I could transfer all of my stuff over night. I was numb that day but I was happy for the option I had. I bought a new oyster card and put some extra money for at least the day and possible the rest of the week if need be. I then headed over to the university with Amanda. I found out there was a machine which you could get hot drinks from I only wish they would have popped out those cardboard holder things. Then we found a table and she had a meeting with Dr. Pierce and I called the number that I was given at the tube station to find out what I could do. The man on the phone told me that it would be an over night process and that I just had to take the tube first thing in the morning rather than the bus. That was one sacrifice I was willing to make. I was so glad it wasn’t a worse consequence for losing the card. After analyzing the situation I came to the conclusion much worse could have happened and at least I am still alive with a good bill of health. I ended up having class that day at 9am for British life and Culture. After that I ended up heading to the flatt. I took a nap because I was so tired. Then I tried to do some work and pretend to be productive but I probably could have gotten more done then what I did. It sucks because the internet is timed and I don’t get to stay on as long as I would like, even if I am doing homework it takes up so much internet! Sometimes its really hard to get anything done because of how much Internet gets used. I miss watching youtube videos =’[. I stayed in most of the time since I did not want to travel too far due to the whole oyster card situation. I did go to O2 to top up (add more money) to my phone so I could get back the minutes for texts/calls. I wish they would give us more numbers we could call internationally for free besides 3. Don’t get me wrong I love my family but sometimes I want to call other family members or my friends. I really miss having that option of calling whomever I wanted and when I wanted and not concerned about being charged an extreme amount of money. I did a little bit of shopping to make sure I had enough food to last me for the rest of the week. Then I found out that booking the trip to Italy had really taken a lot of my money. I think because it was a week trip and not a weekend it was more expensive. Now I am dealing with a little less money then I would like but I can deal. Now that my father said I could use the other credit card well I guess hes re-thinking that decision right now……… The night ended by a bunch of us (Michelle, Jordan, doogie, Shelby and Charlie) watching some movies. First, we watched Mean girls and after that movie I for some reason got this intense headache. I took 3 Advil’s and felt so much better compared to having the feeling that my head was about to explode. I rarely get headaches but once I do they are really bad. Then we watched Silence of the Lambs. It was a nice way to end the night.
