(no subject)
so today in london has been... interesting? eventful? stressful? maybe a little of each rolled into one.
i left canterbury early today to make it to a small town on the other side of england to get my military id renewed with my medical insurance (blayh blah ran out on my birthday.. .needed proof of school...) #
turns out that the people i talked to on the phone here (that told me to go to RAF Daws Hill) were WRONG. daws hill has never done ids. i had to go to a special little place 30 back towards london, which i could have gotten to via the tube.
the days events|:
coach to london
check in to hostel to put down bags
back to central london
train to high wycombe
walk to bus station
missed the once and hour bus to the RAF base by 10 minutes
got taxi to base
talk to gate guard police man
police man made a call
i talked to josh fawcett on the phone, he laughs at the situation.. and tells me i need to go 30 miles down the road
josh meets me at the gate to give me directions in person
guard man tells josh i came from kent
josh realizes i dont have a car
josh makes phone call and gets a charity ride for me to the other base/office
30 minute write with white reveals he's from james island, a huge gamecock fan!
get to the office, their swamped, i'm the last person they want to deal with
dont have a parental permission form i 've never heard of
they give me the id anyway b/c the chief is out.
breath out.
