so here i am in a foreign country and nothing to do, dont know where to go, and freaky french guys coming in my flat to tell me i live in what was formerly a dining room to a mansion. that was my first few days here. now after many scary adventures to the airport by tube (subway), i have found the group of peeps i am supposed to be with. little less scary, lot more pubs. that's the big thing here, goin to pubs and drinkin local drafts for way more than they're worth...bout £3 each that's bout $6 us moneys...shit it's expensive here. the city is beautiful, old, and dirty. people just throw trash on the streets here, they say it's because there aren't enough rubbage bins but i think they just be dirty people sometimes.
tommy comes to meet me on saturday! that is what i look forward to. i hope to take him in my arms and...hehe sorry...feel goofy right now.
right now i am actually supposed to be interpreting but the student is m.i.a. so who knows? maybe this won't be a working holiday after all?
oh yeah, so i terp at this place with british deafies and i don't know what the hell they are signing...it's great, i'm trying to learn bsl now...got good grasp so far but visually the language makes no sense. whatever, it's still cool to learn a new language.
no matter how cool this whole experience is and will be, i still wonder about how all my friends are, wish they were here or i could be there. guess some people get homesick, think i am campsick. i know camp is soon and i wish i could be there...or better yet camp be here! anyone reading this better tell me what's going on there when you' all get there. and tell the kids i miss them...
