Day 55

All my flights went well; they all arrived early too. I hardly managed to get back into the U.K. I kept offering to show him my student ID and paperwork, but he decided to just be difficult and annoyed. But I made it through and gathered my luggage, then went out front to get a taxi. It was expensive, but worth it to finally get back to a location where it's acceptable for me to be horizontal. Neither Jen or Kate were in their rooms when I got back, so I just got on skype to let mama know I was here and started unpacking. I found Jen in the hallway out of breath from hurrying back as soon as she could to see me. Just minutes later Kate barged through my door and jumped on me. Eventually we went to the CLEAN kitchen for dinner; I had to make my pasta. (The cleaning lady put all the dirty dishes under the sink, so it's absolutely disgusting to open that door.) We returned to my room to have a film night. We decided on "The Proposal" and Jen sat me down next to her to play with my hair. Needless to say, I passed out for most of the movie. When it was over, they left me so I could sleep. Little did they know I got a facebook message from Gayle about skyping Matt when she got home. So, I made hot cocoa and stayed up to skype my boy, who kept me laughing as usual. Then I slept for 12 hours... :)
