Fifty Shades of Stonehenge

So it's Monday and I am going to recap all the way back to Valentine's Day (Saturday).

Saturday/Valentine's Day: Woke up. flawless. Just kidding, I was sick as hell (still am). Went to the gym once it opened and ran a few miles. Once showered and wearing my red sweater, me and the girls went into town to get our nails done. Sadly, we didn't think that they would be full because of it being Valentine's Day, so we held off. Went grocery shopping instead. I just grabbed cereal bars, bananas, expensive peanut butter, and jarred cucumbers (weird pickles). Back to Uni. Dropped the groceries back in my room to run over to Michaela's to watch Gone Girl with her and Alie. I finished the book on Friday night so I was dying to watch it. Skyped my little bratty brother, miss him like crazy. Missing all the cousins, aunt and uncle, brother, dog, and duh.. G. Then dinner and another movie (at the theatre with cheetah seats). Fifty Shades of Grey. Dinner was our normal Rutherford cafeteria food. Movie was great. I don't understand the reviews but I was a fan. I even read the book. I was dying at the end because of the way it ended. Sadly, I only read the first so I plan on reading the second as soon as possible. When the movie finished we rushed back to Uni to sleep. Sleep the three hours we could before we hoped on a bus for our day trip.




Sunday: Four-thirty in the morning, awake. Five in the morning, walking from Uni to bus station (buses not running this early and din't want to pay for a cab). Five-thirty in the morning, running almost the entire High St. to the bus station because our bus leaves in ten minutes. Five-forty in the morning, bus leaving with us inside sweating. On our way to London Victoria Bus Station. Saw Big Ben and the London Eye for a split minute. Eight in the morning, waiting for our tour bus to leave in the Victoria Station. Eight-thirty in the morning, sleeping while the annoying/funny tour guide was talking in the mic. Two and a half hours later we are at Stonehenge. Rocks. Mysterious rocks. Cool. Sheep surrounding them too. Feeling miserably sick and feeling like I was going to faint, I bought a cheese and onion pasty. Drank some water and felt a tad better. Back on the bus for another two hour ride to Bath with our annoying/funny tour guide. Arrived and it was gorgeous until we parked and went into the tourist Roman Baths. The green water was really bad I guess, they said we would get sick if we touched it. No way was I going to. I thought the view going in was gorgeous because of the stone buildings (all of the buildings were bath stone). Reminded me of Italy. He told us the stone had to be washed regularly to keep the same white look, otherwise they all start to turn black. Got some shitty gelato. I mean, they called it ice cream so I guess I can't say shitty gelato. It's just that they called it Italian and had the gelato set up. Saw a T.K. Maxx along with all the shops. Left back to London, crying because of how much I hurt. Being sick and stuff. Arrived, out of tissues and starving. We got off and got Chinese food. Chicken and mixed vegetable noodles. On yet another bus at eight-thirty at night for our two hour ride back to Canterbury. Walked from city centre to Uni after that. Got back in my room at ten-thirty, I think. Horrible day, only because of my state. 




Today/Monday: Rather, three in the morning I woke up crying in pain and in the shower for another entire hour. Fell asleep somehow around six in the morning to wake up and go to the Canterbury and Kent Hospital. Three hour wait to get medicine and have them tell me I have a Sinus Infection. Bought Fifty Shades of Grey Darker book for four pounds, a Subway sandwich, and a water bottle to filter my tap water. Got back in my room late and received my Valentine's flowers from my bear. They were here on Saturday but the mail room was closed until today (Monday). They are not too bad, but you can tell some of them are about to die. Other than that, they are beyond beautiful and lucky enough to have someone that cares that much to send them all the way from the States. I even got a tiny teddy bear and chocolates, and Grandma Sue's Valentine's Day card. Now, I took medicine and about to read my book, full from my sandwich and chocolates. Praying tomorrow will treat me good, thank God I have no classes too.
