I pretty much didn’t sleep at all Wednesday night,
so I was not feeling too chipper for lab the next day. Especially since I
hadn’t heard if Christian made it back from town or not. But my lab partners
are really awesome, so they made lab pretty fun like usual lol. I’m actually
really going to miss them, too. It’s just really nice to feel so accepted,
especially in lab when tension runs high. After lab I had so much stuff to do,
like turning in essays, turning in my chemistry exams, and finishing my lab report.
At least Bri texted me back saying that Christian made it home around 6am. When
I finally got all that done, I went home and kind of just sat there. I talked
with Kelsie on facebook and that lead to a lot of frustration and tears. At one
point, I actually screamed really loudly and completely freaked out the
Bulgarians lol. They were convinced that I found a body under my bed. Mina then
told me that I have the perfect horror movie scream and I should be an actress
lol. After lots of venting and asking Mina about our
lasagna last supper, I started to work more on my Christmas cards and presents.
I seriously slaved on those cards forever, but I wanted to make sure that each
of them were special, since everyone here is so special to me. When I finally
finished them, I helped Mina in the kitchen with our last supper. She gave me
some really good advice, after I told her my one story. And then I ended up
telling my story two more times, since I had to keep explaining why I screamed
like a crazy person lol. But Lola came over for dinner which was really nice.
It made out last supper extra special. After a while Bart and Ross showed up,
too. It was really sweet of them all to come over to hang out with me for a
little bit and say bye. We had a really good time with our vodka and wine in
the kitchen. Johanne got her “computee” to show me this one animated video of
her first ever crush… we had just finished saying how we all had a crush on
peter pan lol. Then Bart shows us a youtube video of a Brazilian lap dance. All
I can say is don’t ever look it up, it’s kind of weird. Bart and Lola gave me a little going away present,
which was really sweet of them. I gave out my Christmas cards and pretty much
made everyone feel like crying lol. It was really sad to say goodbye to them
all before heading over to South House. I don’t like thinking that things will
never be the same for all of us. It’s just down right depressing. I then went
over to South House with my presents and cards. It was really Christmasy in the
flat, and I loved the music that James and Kelsie were playing. The classic
Christmas music is the best, although I do love Cliff. So many things happened
during our Christmas celebration, after more people arrived. It was really nice
sitting in the kitchen and looking at how pretty the tree was with all the
presents under it. When Catherine, Greg, and Bri get back, everyone ordered
Chinese for our Christmas dinner lol. There was so much food, it was kind of
ridiculous, but I really enjoyed eating it too. Greg and I shared a seat, and
he was really nice with letting my scoop some rice onto the prawn crisps. Then
Eddie (in his altar ego of Dreddie lol) and Alistair bass player showed up. While
I was sitting with Greg, we had more drunk banter about asses and sex. We
seriously have bro chats, so what else would bros talk about? Everything was
going swimmingly and then out of nowhere Kelsie gets this random call from a
number she doesn’t know. She answers and it seriously takes forever to figure
out who it is. All he said was something about saying goodbye to the Americans
and how he was going to miss us. Kelsie kept saying “aw ok, but who is this”
but he just never answered. We thought maybe it was Andrew Irvine acting like
his normal drunk self, so Ali bass player took the phone. But it wasn’t Andrew
Irvine… it was the flower… and then for some reason, I end up having to talk
with him. He was really sweet saying how he’s going to miss Bri and me, and
that we have to stay in touch, but he really is the most awkward guy in the
world. After that random call the night settled into its normal routine, with
everyone saying how they are going to miss the Americans and that we really are
lovely people. I asked Eddie to put the pictures from out going away party
online, but I’m not sure if I ever really want to see all of those pictures
lol. After Christian got home and everyone finished the majority of their
Chinese food, we did out secret santa stuff. We waited until exactly midnight
and then everyone exchanged presents. It was hilarious to see the presents that
the boys gave to each other. Christian’s helicopter from Andrew was awesome,
Martyn’s sex kit from Greg was hilarious, James’ horror/porn film from Martyn
was kinda weird, and Andrew’s beer drinking hat seemed pretty useful. One of
the best parts was how Greg could identify a bottle of lube by just shaking a
box lol. I was super happy to FINALLY get those shoes from primark… even if I
did see Kelsie pick them out :) After secret santa we played with everyone’s
presents for a while. Christian’s helicopter was really fun to play with. Some
things you really don’t grow too old for. When everyone started to leave and
after a few goodbyes (three goodbyes to Eddie/Dreddie lol) a few of us stayed
up in the kitchen. We listened to some more music and then Greg started to
sing. I had the computer and he would specifically ask me to put on the youtube
videos that showed the lyrics lol. It was so adorable when he sang “where are
you Christmas” from the Grinch. I of course started to cry, but it was really
sweet that Greg and Bri were beside me to give me a proper cuddle. It really
cheered me up, especially when Greg told me to “just sob into the ginger hair”
lol. Somehow it didn’t feel like the last night together. I thought some things
would go kind of differently, but it really was a happy Christmas together with
my family :)
