Chapter 40 — This is fine.

No, seriously. It’s fine.

The nine of us skip out of the UK for five days and look what happens: we decide we’re too big for the EU, Boris Johnson is likely to be Prime Minister in October, and many people seemingly forget how a democracy functions just because it didn’t work in their favour.

If our group’s accumulative, assuring energy was in the country yesterday, who knows how many more votes Remain would’ve gained. I take full responsibility for Brexit on behalf of our group. Worst timed holiday ever.

After learning about the referendum results this morning, I almost didn’t want to come back to the UK today. Amsterdam seemed lovely enough and there were certainly plenty of jobs available. But, alas, I couldn’t run away that easily.

So here I am, back in a UK which has never felt more divided.

As if my anxiety about the future wasn’t bad enough having left university with no full-time job on the horizon, now we’ve voted to jump off the EU merry-go-round without knowing exactly what makes up the ground surrounding said merry-go-round.

Only adding to my frustration is the total lack of sleep I’ve had today, which consists of three short hours between 4:30am-7:30am and an unintended 60 minute nap just a little while ago.

I don’t want to whine and complain, but after a week of activities, my body is running only ever so slightly above empty. But if I sleep now I’ll probably wake up in cold sweats at 3am with visions of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President Donald Trump shaking hands and being generally happy in each other’s company.

Writing is also proving difficult, and before I ramble on further I’ll call it a day.

I need a good ol’ cup of Great British Tea.

Bye.
