LONDON!
My internet finally works! So here I am, writing on my laptop, in LONDON, and it's almost 1 oclock the morning before ou first day of classes. I've already spend crazy amounts of money, I should be ashamed. But I'm not. It's London, it's expensive, and its' the chance of a lifetime. I'll just be broke for the rest of my life. I'm okay with that.
So, I had already typed out an LJ entry, but it erased itself on me, so I'll just sum up. I feel like I have a strange case of eternal PMS or something...one minute I'm so afraid here...like I can't make friends, I keep hanging out with the same few people, and I worry that the kids who are "living it up" are really the ones who get it, and that I'll leave this place feeling as though I didn't get out of it what I should have.
But then there are nights like this one, after tagging along with my roomie and her friends from downstairs to a bar with amazingly whore-ish men (do I have "nice tits"? Perverts.) when I feel like I'm having such a great time, even though I'm totally not in my element. I'm not that kind of girl. And I didnt' compromise myself, though it would have been easy to do so. But is that the only way to live it up? to "carpe diem"? to experience London? I hope not. But regardless, I had a great time, and the near future looks beautiful and bright. Tomorrow classes start, and while I'm not looking forward to the hw, I amlooking forward to the opportunity to get to know others who aren't in my flat. A friend of mine (here in London) is having a birthday thing tomorrow at this nice restaurant, so I'm psyched for that, and even though tomorrow is Valentine's Day and, as we all know, those of us who are single hate Valentine's Day, I can't wait for this week... I'm so ready!
With that in mind, I'm posting my letter-address here. WRITE TO MEEEE! I dont want to be the only loser who doesn't get any mail. I would be so sad. I'll send you a postcard or whatever if you write! Really, I will! Anywho, here it is. And I want ALL of you to drop what you're doing, get out a pen or pencil, take this address down, and use it! A LOT! :)
