Not really a post affiliated with studying abroad, but a rant. I'm still waiting to get an approval to apply for my visa. I'm also going to by my flight ticket soon.
I have been really itchy lately! I'm pretty sure I have eczema. I have been using creams and lotions but they have not been working very well. I haven't been doing a good job resisting either. I researched more about it today and I think I found the reason why it hasn't gone away. I should avoid detergent and I feel very stupid because I JUST did two loads of laundry using not only detergent but fabric softener as well. I also washed my sheets. -_- I don't even want to finish folding my laundry now for I am afraid I will get more itchy.
I think part of the reason why I have eczema is because of the insanely hot weather! It is unbearable to be outside and I oddly don't sweat. I suffer from dryness. I also got a really bad allergic reaction that was all over my legs last month or so. I have such horrible skin. I should really watch out for what I eat now. Especially all those coffees and teas. Mom tells me too much is bad for me.
Harry Potter is coming out soon! When Harry Potter ends so will my adolescence. I have grown up with the series and have always felt like I had a certain connection with the trio because I'm close in age with them. To celebrate, my sister and I are planning a Potter party potluck on the 9th. So far we got the games down and some recipes.
I feel very drained by the internet. I deactivated facebook a while ago so I could avoid reading other people's lives and focus on my life, but I see this reoccurring again with tumblr, twiiter and several other blogs. I should really take these sites as an inspiration (excluding twitter) and stop wishing my life was somewhat like theirs. I shouldn't be thinking like this at all because I have a lot to look forward to.
Also, the list of things I should pack up and buy have been floating around my head. I reckon I should start writing all of these down just so I could feel more productive and feel like my trip is coming sooner. I should be excited but I feel like things are a bit down right now. I should gravitate towards people that encourage me rather than people who weigh me down with this trip plus their problems (not that I don't mind people telling me their problems, I just would like relationships to go both ways). I don't like this bitter attitude that is still around and I am very much looking forward to the freedom I'll have once I get to Swansea. I am also craving fall wardrobe so badly already and I want to start looking at some home decor just to get an idea on how to decorate my dorm room. Not trying to go all crazy or anything and I'm not even sure if I could decorate much at all, but decorating a new room in general sounds exciting. I am getting tired of the granny smith apple green colored walls in my bedroom here.
I should make my next post about all the home decor and clothes I'll be bringing abroad. And I shall!
Hi Linda! :)
ReplyDeleteI suffer from acute (?) eczema, but only certain parts of my body, like my upper arms, elbows, and shins. It's easy to treat though, so hopefully you can get your hands on some cream. Jealous you don't sweat though, haha. :P
I've also been feeling quite intimidated by the internet lately. I was so close to deleting my Facebook and Twitter last night, actually. But like you, I thought I should be inspired instead of bitter. I know for a fact, though, your life is going to be so fun, and you're not going to worry too much about what the others are doing. Just focus on SWANSEA. :)
And yes, write everything down! It'll be easier and less of a hassle later on. I want to see everything you're bringing.

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was reading this post I was reminded of a skin problem time I had. I went to the doctor and he put me on tranquilizers! Crazy, because I was taking care of my one-year-old daughter at the time. I quit taking them right away. The doctor didn't tell me what he was prescribing, I had to figure it out myself. Anyway, I did some soul searching and discovered it was an emotional reaction to my husband going away for a week. I had a scary encounter with a burglar a couple of years previously and never dealt with the emotions and worry of being alone. All that to say that after I figured out what was causing the ridiculous hives over my body they cleared up and went away.
It's something to think about, you are making a scary, exciting step in your life and leaving your family for the first time.
I'm loving the blog. I'm bookmarking it!
