I have a flight!!

I adore my fabulous boyfriend. Yesterday a series of frantic phone calls and constant calculations led to a family friend lending me money, and my darling boyfriend putting himself at the bottom of his overdraft in order to get me the money for my flight.

Prior to that, N used his excellent search skills to find me a flight for £350, saving me £23. There was only 1 seat available though, and by the time I received the money it was gone. I ended up purchasing a flight from Delta via Opodo for £369.60, thanks to a magic glitch at the bank that put the payment through even though I only had £350 in the bank. The point is, I have a flight!!

I'm going to Maine :D If I fail the reassessment I may get sent back again, but I AM GOING!! (I'm ignoring the very small possibility that I might get refused a visa).

In other news, I am doing lots of history revision. I've settled on four areas, instead of trying to learn everything. I'm not sure whether I have to write an essay, or if I just need to do an exam, but four areas should cover me. I've chosen the founding of the republic, the civil war, world war 2 and the sixties. Cue lots and lots of research and note-taking.

Oh, and guess what. Last night I went to sleep at a reasonable time, I slept through the night, and now I'm awake in the morning. Woohoo! I'm attempting to get my body used to a regular sleeping pattern. At least try to, anyway.
