It’s now evening 3 of being by myself away from everyone else in this big mean world!
I’ve had so much fun getting lost these past 3 days. I get on a train to go to work, it goes past 5 stops and I get off, it’s that simple. So on the way home from work I ask the ticket instructor which train do I get on to go home, he tells me the platform and I get on the train, I go past 5 stops and get off, this doesn’t look like my home, get back on the train to head back and get even more lost, I’m using google maps to try and find my way home but yet I can’t seem to remember where I live.
I call my house mate and I get a taxi home. So the next day on the way home I double check with the instructor which train and platform I should be getting on. Once again I get on the train and get lost, at this point I’m getting frustrated, I just want to go home and sleep. I get on a bus and get close enough to home to walk.
Day 3, I don’t bother asking the instructor which platform because I keep getting lost, instead I went online and checked, the instructor was telling the truth the whole time, but he forgot to mention the trains are always late in this country, so I don’t get on the train which comes on the platform the same times as my train, instead I wait 15 minutes and get on the train which comes later!
So after figuring out how crap the public transport is here and getting lost I’ve started to understand my surroundings. Because I’m living by myself I’ve started to learn how to cook each night, I’m getting better and better at it, this evening I cooked some chicken wraps with salad and tomorrow I plan on making a curry! I’ve never tried cooking before and always had it done for me, I quiet enjoy it, passes time and you get to create some amazing dishes. By a few months I’ll be a pro.
Whilst settling into my new home I’ve had a lot of time to stop and think about things, because of this I’ve started missing certain people and things from back home more than normal. My mum sent me some pictures of my family, mostly of my niece, I was in work when I saw these pictures and for the first time in a long time I was biting my lip, I found it so hard looking at these pictures knowing I probably won’t see them again for such a long time and I really would love to! I guess sometimes you need to be away from those you care about to realise how much you do care.
I’ve not had the best of days today, I could have really done with a hug from someone I’ve known longer than a week, things are starting to become difficult here, getting to and from work seems like a challenge, coming home to cook, clean, wash and revise for my exams. Welcome to the real world I hear you all say! Thing is, all this change is a lot to take in! Every day I’m learning new things about life and myself, times like these will break or make somewhere! I’m hoping the worst is over, it can only go up from here!
So I’m now going to go and watch a movie with my house mate and her girlfriends, tomorrow is a new day which means new sunrise and sunset, even though today was bad, tomorrow has to be better!
So I’m going to go and put my tired bum to bed now! Lack of sleep is bringing me down too!
I wish you all a good week and I’ll do my best to keep updating the blog!
Hey all! i've decided to make the most of having the internet! Freddie has fallen asleep again... i'm kinda happy he has... he needs it! one massive grouch for the last few hours! So i'm doing the bag watching and making sure noone mugs him!
