While I am studying abroad at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne for a semester, I figured a blog would be a good idea to keep all of my friends and family updated on my British adventures and a good way for me to not get too homesick.

Day 108
My plan was to sleep in after staying up until 2am, however, my body had a different plan. I was up around 8 and laid in bed, attempting to sleep, until 9:15ish. I went to breakfast with Jen, Jen, and Liz at 9:30. After breakfast, I took a nice long shower, got dressed, and started my revision for my exam on Thursday. I decided that I was going to do Number Theory on Monday, Cryptography on Tuesday, and old exams on Wednesday. I read through all of my Number Theory notes and wrote down important things and formulas I need to remember. I kept getting myself distracted with thoughts of cleaning my room and starting to pack, I even looked up how much it would cost to move my flight and come home early. I am just so over this exam and would like Thursday to come and go asap. I heard a knock on my door and it was Jen with the loaf of bread I requested from her trip into town with the girls. We met up in the kitchen to make and eat lunch. Kate also came in and we found Esther in there on a cleaning rampage. We hung out in there for about an hour. Eventually, I went back to my room and Jen joined me shortly after. We decided to watch Say Yes to the Dress Bridesmaids until dinner. We went to dinner around 6, Kate, Katie, Jen, and I; of course, Mark found us too. After dinner, I returned to my room and skyped my lovely boy. I had fun helping him look for a job this summer. After skyping, Jen and Liz came to my door and asked if I knew where Jen was. The three of us and Kate began texting, facebooking, and skype messaging her obsessively. We had no idea of where she could be, so we started looking everywhere. We went to laundry, the computer cluster, Antoine's room.. by chance we walked past this lounge we didn't even know existed and we spotted her in there with Mark and Antoine. We played fake angry for scaring us so bad. Eventually, we decided to play some pool... except when we got the equipment we didn't know what to do with it. I didn't even know what English billiards or snooker or whatever was, let alone how to play. Instead, we just tossed the balls towards pockets, climbed on the table, and poked each other with the abnormally large pool sticks. It was time to part and, being his last day, Mark tried to give people hugs. I managed to get out of it and happily went back to my room. Jen, Liz, Kate and I ended up in Jen's room for a short bit before parting again to go to sleep.
