Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken?

Okay. I'm extremely tired and jet-lagged, but I'll see what I can do..

I'll be honest. The flight completely tuckered me out. And when we reached Manchester, we found out that our apartment wasn't ready until at least 1pm. (And it was only 9am when we had arrived.)

So we had to WALK to the bank and then go to the University to get my registration done and pay the school fees.

Which, in my dead-tired state, was nothing short of ARE-YOU-FREAKING-KIDDING-ME?!?

And so, truth to be told, I started to get homesick not ONE hour after we had arrived. For a bit, I felt so lost in the kinda-big city and it just seemed like everyone KNEW we were tourists since we don't exactly look like we come from England. And I was grabbing my bag really tightly since my mother had given me quite a bit of money to deposit.

Yup, I started regretting my decision to study here. Even to the point where I started wondering what my parents would say if I told them NOW that I wanted to take a gap year.

Somehow though, the city grew on me a little. Met a couple of nice people here and there, and WOW.. I saw the Catholic Church. It's AMAZING. It looks so ancient and wonderfully built, with its cobble-stoned walls, towering roofs, and stained-glass windows.

Even though I AM still horribly tired, I still wanna say that I really am looking forward to studying here. And hopefully, when I'm not as jet-lagged and better-rested tomorrow, I'll start to love the city more.

Will update more soon! <3
