THE PARK!







Alrighty, so I finally went to that park the other day haha. It's actually the most amazing park ever, and literally only 30 seconds away from my house (well actually 46 seconds but who's counting?). Anyways, as you walk up the road all you can see is this huge angel statue... Then as soon as you walk up to the statue you're on top of a huge hill overlooking the dockyards, it's actually insanely beautiful. I was like how the hell did I not know about this madness? So I think that's my new reading spot, there's loads of benches and trees to sit under on the hill.

The other day while I was grocery shopping I ''brought'' Sex And The City: The Movie, it's actually hillarious I loved it! I sat there and drank wine and ate these little chocolate rocky road crispy things...I felt like my mom hahahaha. Don't worry momma I love you, I just thought it was hilarious I like transformed in to you haha.
Today hasn't been too exciting terribly exciting, nothing much else to report I'm afraid. Hopefully this evening will be more exciting. I'm having some friends over, maybe I'll be really loud like the Polish people upstairs and tick them off because I know they always make me mad when they blast friggin' Fergie, and slam doors, and argue....
ANYAWYS! BYE BYE! LOVE YOU ALL! KISSES KISSES KISSES! (Don't you wish I actually talked like that hahaha)
Later gators,

SHAZAM!

So at the request of my momma and Jon haha, I will update this as often as possible. I know it must seem like, ''Come on Morgan, you live at home by yourself and you do nothing all day you should have plenty of time to update your blog.'' My response to that is...I do stuff....sometimes hahaha.




***INTERESTING DISCOVERY!***




I've now gone down one notch on my belt loop haha. But don't worry it's not because I don't eat, because I eat bread and water all the time! Just kidding, I actually do eat all the time, for example this is what I had tonight: Chicken wrapped in prosciutto, topped with mozzarella, and sage and asparagus. My parents are going '' What the hell, since when can she cook?'' WELL I CAN AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!




***END OF INTERESTING DISCOVERY***




So I'll bet you're all wondering what I did today. Well...I'll tell you. I spoke to my momma, dad, and sister on zee telephone and cleaned my flat. Then I went out to the Job Centre, to get hooked up with some employment, I think I may end up working for Royal Mail doing data entry which would be pretty rockin' because all I'd have to do would be like type haha. Then I went and got a new phone because the one I bought at first was cheap and a piece of crap, so now I have a new pink phone that actually works haha. That's what it looks like, to the right of this paragraph. Then I went and bought food, and candles to make my house smell nice.




***INTERESTING DISCOVERY No 2***




My waste trap under my kitchen sink has been leaking for over a week (I think), so my landlord is sending the plumber in tomorrow morning and he is going to do my dishes and clean it all up because it reaks {sp?}. I was wondering what the hell smelt so bad in my kitchen and thought maybe it was just the smell of the water, then I was cleaning today I found it and it was just disgusting so that's why I got candles haha.




*** END OF INTERESTING DISCOVERY No 2***




Tomorrow I will actually go to that park and take pictures, I promise! Anyways, I'm going to go...clean some more haha. I don't know what it is but when you live alone it seems really fun to clean.






P-p-p-peace out!

I love my landlord + his family + my neighbours + English people because they are amazingly nice.

So I have something to tell you that may shock you. You know that British stereotype that they're cold and unkind to new people from other countries....completely false! They are amazingly nice here, like I don't understand. It's as if I'm in like another dimension. First off, my landlord's amazingly nice (and hot, I'm not even lying mom saw him. I for some reason pictured my landlord being some old cat lady, but no it's a hot man score.) He's been helping me out, getting stuff done around my flat for me, give me tips and information about city and area where to go and where not to go.



The next thing that's wicked is that my neighbour above me, this Polish guy, gave me his passcode to use his internet for dirty cheap seeing as how I would've had to have payed like over £200 for internet to be installed in my place. So now I have internet in my flat!



Another amazingly nice thing, my landlord's father came down today just to see how I was doing and if everything was going okay. We got to talking about getting a job and school and such. Turns out him and his wife have a hobby of going to restaraunts every weekend in different parts of the country. Like they'll take the train up, rent a hotel room, and just go to a restaraunt! So he knows every restaraunt in Plymouth and the people that own them so next weekend him, his wife, and Ben (my landlord) are going to take me around to different restaraunts to meet the people and see which one I like best then talk to them about giving me a job! Also when we were standing outside talking, I was asking about the rubbish collection because I hadn't received the bags yet (you have to put your garbage in this brown re-usable bag and your recycling in a black one - stupid) anyways, my neighbour to the right of my flat was outside and overheard our conversation and said I could put my rubbish in her bags if I don't get them by Tuesday, and then invited me over for Sunday Roast Beef Dinner, so I'm going over there in a few hours!



Would this ever happen in Canada? I have no idea. They just really love Canadians here, like it's insane. So I'm off now to go buy some wine or something for dinner, I don't know if they'll drink it but whatever I'm just trying to be nice as per usual!

(Oh also, apparently there's this huge park down the street from me which I just thought was the Navy Yard, my landlord's dad said it's a beautiful view so I'm going to go down there also and take some pictures. I'll post them up either later today or tomorrow!)

Hello from rainy England.






So, I just finished typing a whole post and hit "publish post" and the page didn't load so now I have to do it all over again, so sad, so sad. Oh well haha.




Alright so, some of you may know and some of you may not but I am here in England without Jesse. Not to worry though he will be here soon enough, he was held up in Canada because his VISA wasn't finished processing.




So I've been here rockin' it up with my momma. We found a flat, got a laptop, and a mobile all in the span of two days, because we're amazingly cool (well mainly I am but I have to give her some credit she is my mom after all AKA: The Money Train). People are amazingly friendly and it's just a really nice city, right on the ocean. There's a couple really elevated places in the city where you can look out across the ocean and see all the ships and a couple islands. Interesting fact: There are palm trees and bamboo here, the winter weather goes down to only 6C!


The shopping here is really awesome ( I found this out because Air Canada lost one of my bags somewhere, it's probably hanging out in Jamaica or something). Yesterday, I brought (yes I said brought, that's what they say here instead of 'bought') three rockin' tshirts and a nice pair of hightops all for £19.00! Today mom and I went to this little town called Dawlish (just outside Plymouth) it was really cool it had a really neat beach with red rock cliffs and some nice little shops.


Anyways, I'm off now to watch X-factor and eat some food. So I'll make some more posts later!



P-p-p-peace out!
