Day 30 Part 2

So I hate Devising London. Well maybe hate might be too strong a word.

In one class Dawn called us insecure, lazy, impatient and unfit (as in Americans tend not to be fit).

We've all been writing...well some of us have been writing that we don't like the lack of structure and that we don't understand how what we are doing is going to turn into a performance. She of course told us that shes been doing this 8years and we have to trust her...but in a not so polite way. She called us all out. I was mad. She wants our journals to be thoughtful and such but then she reads them and talks about them out loud and as I said calls us out. We had to go to the hospital and write about it so I mean with my recent experience in a hospital I had some stuff to say which I guess I shouldn't have because she then made me read part of it out loud. She's ridiculous and rude. Not to mention she just changes in class like down to her underwear. I don't know how we are to trust and take her seriously.

Aaron, Laura, Jessy and I walked back home after class. It's a long walk. We all kinda parted ways and Laura and I went to Blockbuster to check out movies. We got 4 for 10pounds which wasn't too bad. The DVD player in the common room doesn't play American DVDs so now we have a couple to enjoy down there with the flat screen TV and leather couches. After we went to the big Sainsburys to pick up a few things. I got Cocoa Pops because I'm nearly done with all my cereal and it was on sale.

When I got back to Wigram my room number was on the sheet that says if you have packages. It was really exciting because when mom's package I managed to pick it up before they could put it up on the sheet which we all look at multiple times a day hoping to see our number. So it stopped me in my tracks. When I opened it I found individually vacuum sealed packages of Denise's cookies. Very Very Exciting. So I had cookies and Kraft Mac and Cheese for dinner. It was amazing.

I think we might try and watch one of our movies tonight. I'm exhasted and defeated physically and emotionally from class so hopefully getting to sleep isn't a problem. A lot of the international kids just can't sleep so everyone is talking about going to the health center and getting sleeping pills...kinda find it funny.

I have a paper due on Tuesday and don't understand the question. I understand everything I need to know to answer it but I don't understand the wording so it's difficult to get started on it. I emailed the teacher but because I have no idea how things work around here it seems as though I missed his office hours. Luckily it's only 30% of my grade. I think I'll do fine.

I'm uploading pictures of my room....the walls look SO bright in the pictures. I cleaned my room...but it never really seems clean. I think it has to do with storing so much food in it. I need to go get the vacuum from the front desk eventually. Alright well I'll get the pictures up soon. Post later, Jeannie.
