Within my circle of friends, I'm always, always marked as the dumb one. The foolish one. The girl who is impossibly clumsy. The friend who lacks common sense. Although I try not to wear that mark around me, something recently made the imprint even bolder:
I lost £40 within two weeks.
As a girl who is given £300 for 5 months as well as the already-provided accommodation, food and water what I've done is completely unnecessary. Especially when one simple action and thought could be avoided to prevent this mess - putting my money in a my debit card instead of thinking it'll be fine sitting in an unprotected drawer. Of course right now I'm implying someone has stolen my money but even I've just misplaced my money, I'm going to look very very stupid. And now I'm moping to the virtual world. For fudge sake, Monette.

Rant Over English Food
When is comes to food, England is literally hell. As I quote from a song in APH (Axis Powers: Hetalia, fyi):
"In hell, the English are chefs, the Germans are police officers, the French are engineers, the Swiss are lovers, and the Italiaaaaans are bankers!"
Basically, English food is generally bleh. They practically live on the spud. Jack potatoes, mash, wedges, new potatoes... You name it, they have it. I didn't know how many ways one can cook potatoes until i came to the UK.
Onto their famous tea, which can get pretty ridiculous. Their flavours range from the classic Earl Grey tea - my only favourite English tea - to elaborate tea blends that seem exquisite at first glance but actually taste like cough syrup. How's that for your cuppa? I can't fully hate English tea though since I've only tasted a small range of teabags provided by the school canteen- which is what, 3 to 4 sorts of tea?
So, why am I giving cough-syrup-like tea a second chance? a week ago, I found some tea blends online that i thought of trying. Not only were they based on 'Sherlock' by BBC- one of the rare things I'd like to thank UK for- to my delight, the tea blends were given a lot of good reviews by other fellow fans of the show. I'm particularly intrigued my a tea blend inspired by John Watson. Since I'm more into fluffy jumpers than smoke and musky like Sherlock, (though suspicious due to my horrible experience with the blueberry and apple tea blend. Uck.) I'm excited to how it tastes.
