The scheming didn't work.

Unfortunately, I won't be rescheduling my trip. Its too bad about the garden, but I am going to try to stay positive and think about my North Sea cruise and my stop in Holland, not the bloom-less garden. I will be getting on a bus at 7:50 from Alnwick going down to Newcastle, so that I can catch the holiday coach which takes me down to the sea port.

This morning I woke up early to try to talk with two different travel companies. I am always wasting money away while waiting on hold. This got me a little frustrated so I went to the kitchen. From scratch, I made a chai latte and attempted to make chai meringues. I did not have an electric mixer so my hand whisking wasn't enough to whip it up to the right consistency. So, I resorted to chai cookies. I must admit; they didn't turn out so good. But, overall, I was in a better mood by the end of it.

During the afternoon, I volunteered at the Salvation Army thrift store. We switched over the winter clothes to the spring clothes. I really enjoy working there, but I really have a hard time understanding what the employees are saying. Their accents are very thick, half the time I just nod and smile cause I don't have a clue what they just said. I only am required to do an hour and half more service hours to meet my ten hours for my Brit 201 class. Overall, I am trying to complete as much homework as I can while we are on break because I don't want to have to worry it when the weather is warmer and the program is near its end.

Tonight, I am going out to the town hall to inquire about stewarding for the passion play which will be performed in the town square. And I will be picking up my bottle of wine from Mary, since she will be there rehearsing for her part in the play. After that, I just will be getting ready to leave for Holland in the morning:)
