Boredom
So I'm unbelievably bored. I have two exams soon and I actually did some revision today. Shock horror. But I'm bored out of my mind. So I've decided to do a list of 20 things about me. See if I can actually think of 20 interesting things about me. Highly unlikely.
1. I have all the British isles in my ancestry, I'm English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh a the very least on my maternal side.
2. I love reading. Everyone agrees that I have this supernatural ability to read. I've read a 700+ page book in 8 hours. That's just under 100 pages an hour. I go through books like most people go through underwear. At one point my bookcases at home totalled over £5000.
3. I'm a Sony whore. I hate Xbox, purely because I think people who own them are generally fanboy dicks who always feel the need to point out to me how PS3 is inferior to Xbox. I'd like to tell you to kindly fuck off and I'll enjoy my Blu-Ray.
4. I'm obsessed with America, I love it so much I'm studying it as a degree at University and going there for a year. It has it's faults but it's great.
5. I'm obsessed with history, in particular wars or American history. World War 2 is the most fascinating aspect of history ever to me. Also why I'm studying it at university.
6. I'm going to Utah State for a year, which for the life of them people cannot understand. It's not like I'm going to the Underworld people!
7. I'm also obsessed with Ancient Greece and Greek mythology. I have this weird thing where I can recite a ridiculous amount of Greek mythological stories. They're absolutely fascinating and I love the Greek gods, there's nothing more interesting.
8. I have 2 main phobias. One is arachnophobia which obviously is the fear of spiders. I freak out over tiny ones and have to have someone else kill them for me. The other everyone always thinks is weird and makes fun of, though I don't see how it's weird, but I'm terrified at even the thought of going into the sea. If it's bigger than a large puddle, I won't go into it as I have this inane fear that I'll fall in and drown. Whenever I went on the piers at Blackpool I'd be freaking out that the pier would fall down and I'd drown. I panic even whilst thinking about it and if anyone ever pushed me off a boat into the ocean I think I'd die as I'd probably have a heart attack.
9. I was smart in high school, I got 10 A's, 3 B's and 2 C's. I don't know what happened.
10. I took Spanish for 5 years in high school and got a B. I like to speak it every now and then. I also took Japanese for 4 years and got a C. This amazes everyone when I tell them, nevermind the fact that I can't remember anything apart from where I live and what my name is. Watashi no namae wa Sera desu to Normanton ni sundeimasu!
11. I've been to Spain 3 times and France 8 times. I hate Paris. I'd only go back to go purely shopping. I love Spain, Barcelona was amazing but so was Santander and Bilbao! Definitely recommend going there.
12. My year abroad in America is going to be a bunch of firsts. My first time in America, my first time flying, my first time going abroad on my own, my first time living in another country and my first time not being home for Christmas. All of these are exceptionally frightening to me.
13. My favourite genre of books are supernatural books. I love reading about werewolves and vampires and other weird things like that. But I've also discovered I love reading crime novels too. Karin Slaughter is by far my favourite crime novelist.
14. I'm 19 turning 20 and don't even have my provisional driving license yet. I don't see why I need one until I finish university as I can't afford it and can't afford a car till afterwards.
15. I plan on doing a work Canada once I've finished University, I'd love to work there for a year if possible.
16. I've only ever had 2 jobs, one was working in the retail store Primark for 2 1/2 years and the other is working in my students union/O2 Academy as a bartender. Both are ridiculously different jobs yet both are demanding. The barwork has made me never want to go out ever again, but I will. Since I was 16 I've only had one year where I haven't worked and this was my first year at Uni.
17. I can't live without my laptop and internet. They're my lifelines.
18. I have the worst bodyclock in the world. No matter what time I try to go to sleep at, I won't go to sleep before 4am at the earliest. It sucks ass.
19. I'm the pickiest person ever when it comes to eating. There's a lot of stuff I don't like. I need to work on this.
20. I love horses. I managed to be able to go horse-riding for 2 1/2 years between when I was 12 and just over 14. I loved it and I wish I'd been able to carry on. However it was expensive and we couldn't afford it anymore :(
Well those were probably the worst 20 facts about me ever. I'm sure I'll think of some more interesting ones.

Christmas and other stuff
Sooo yeah, Christmas was good I suppose. I'm not huge on Christmas, I love Halloween more. I can't wait for Halloween in America, it's gonna be great. But then again I think I'll love Christmas more in America too, they seem more excitable about it and go to greater lengths to make stuff look awesome. So I'll get excitable, which I'm sure my mum will kill me for. But whatever. I got lots of PS3 games for christmas, Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood, Blur, RDR: Undead Nightmare and Dead Rising 2. I also got some books and Fringe season 2, Bones season 1, Supernatural season 5 and Band of Brothers! I love everything here and I've already finished Assassin's Creed 2 and am well into Brotherhood. It's so fun!
And then I worked New Years Eve Propaganda, which was about as much fun as shooting myself in the face. I swear. The wonderful O2 Academy was open from 10pm till 4am, and good lord were we ready for it to close by 2:30! It was practically dead by the end, I've seen bigger kids parties I swear to god! And I totally missed the AMAZING fireworks in London. They were awesome, I'll post them so you can watch. I mean, they were set to MUSIC AND EVERYTHING. I think it's around 2:35 where Queen starts, and the magic really happens!
I showed my granddad Utah State the other day when he came over. He thought it looked great and very picturesque, clean and tidy. Oh and very American aha. And when it kept showing all the amazing sports you can do he was like 'I wouldn't do that, gonna do some mountain climbing Sarah?'. I just stared at him aha. I also showed him Annie, which sounds totally weird I do realise. But he wanted to see her because I'd told him that she already went there and was willing to help me round or at least get my bearings and hopefully be my awesome American friend! He thought both her and her family were the picture perfect American family and that they looked so nice. I totally agree, just looking at her pictures makes me think they look like the ultimate nice family! I'd totally love to meet them!
He also asked me if I was gonna go skiing or anything. I'd just like to point out right now that I will probably suck at skiing. Plus I want to snowboard not ski along with the fact I'd be super paranoid that I'd get hurt and it would cost me ridiculous amounts of dollars to fix. I'd much rather just stay safe and complete!
I can't really think of anything else to post except that I'm not looking forward to going back to Uni. I have two exams, one on Friday 21st January and one on Saturday 22nd January. Yeah that's right, a SATURDAY. And they're the days after each other, WTF? So not happy. Then ANOTHER exam on the Wednesday, good lord do I hate exams.
Well that's all folks!

Utah baby!
OH HELL YEAH
I'm so excited!!!
I got the university I want, and I can't wait to go already!
There's so much I wanna do! Meet Annie which I definitely can't wait. I just hope I won't be an annoying person or anything, that's so not what I want to be!
My mum's already said that for my christmas present next year, as I can't go home they're gonna buy me flights to Vegas for my 21st!
I'm so super excited about everything, I feel positively American already!

Boredom
Good lord I'm bored. And I'm also waiting in anticipation of my letter! Arrive damn you! So because I'm bored I thought I'd put up some of my favourite photos I've taken. Just because I felt like it really.

Many things!
So since the last blog update which was ages ago, lots of things have happened. I got onto the year abroad course again, and am hoping for Utah State University! It's got the courses I want and hopefully I can afford it! Plus my American friend Annie goes there :) It's always good to have at least one friendly face!
Secondly, my job is going swimmingly. I'm managing to be at all my lectures and seminars and handing in my essays on time which is good! Alongside multiple presentations. I got paid today too and got £458 for only 3 weeks work. Which is fantastic! That's around $710 for America!
There's not much else I can think of that's pressing at the minute.
Of course when I go to America this is obviously where I'll blog everything that happens there and update with some pictures. I already have a lot of what I'd love to do planned out. A short list is this:
- Go to Las Vegas for my 21st, Utah is only a state over from Nevada!
- Take pictures of the Greek frat houses, Wal-Mart and the biggest car I can find
- Go to New York for New Years Eve possibly?
- Go to Washington D.C
- Go to Los Angeles, Huntington Beach and San Francisco
- Go to Orlando and enjoy the theme parks!
- Go to the Grand Canyon!
- Make lots of American friends
- Try every variety of Coca-Cola and Pepsi/whatever else I can find!
- Buy a box of really cheap ass Lucky Charms and boast on facebook
- Make my life look amazing.
That is all.

Back in the land of the cheese!
So I'm back in Leicester, have been for a week so I'm a bit slow on the uptake. Not really been updating this a whole lot. Mainly cos I'm lazy and forget. The new blockmates have moved in and they all seem pretty cool so far! And oddly enough they're all Southerners who actually think my accent is nice. That's unusual as most Southerners here usually have a little bash at it to be honest. I like it! Going to freshers fair on Tuesday because I'm working tomorrow so I want to try and sleep in a bit so that I'm able to stay up late and function properly. Hurray for even more hurting legs and feet! But even more hurray for money! I'm always up for that. If I end up working nearly 8 hours again then that's near enough £100 within 2 days! Which is completely bombing and I love it! :D I'm now a fully fledged bartender. Woop!
