Only two more days of work left! Thank fuck. I'm a so damn sick of it, and I miss school, and I'm feeling kind of trapped and claustrophobic in this town.
I feel kind of hideously ill-prepared for my UK trip, but I don't usually plan that much, anyway. I have accommodation and a map, I'll manage. I'm also thinking of getting a pay-as-you-go SIM with some sort of a data package (T-Mobile's plan sounds good enough) because I have a problem it would be nice to be able to check things on the go. I do have a rough itinerary:
- Wed Aug 31st: flight lands just after nine, will probably just spend the day dicking around in London.
- Thurs Sept 1st: extremely nerdy outing to Bletchley Park in the morning, possibly York, Edinburgh in the evening
- Fri Sept 2nd: touristy stuff in Edinburgh
- Sat Sept 3rd: leaving for Inverness in the morning, spending the day there and coming down to Glasgow in the evening
- Sun Sept 4th: touristy stuff (and I might squeeze in the Glee movie, I'm only a little ashamed)
- Mon Sept 5th: arriving in London maybe in the late afternoon
- Tues Sept 6th: flight leaves Heathrow at 18:40, lands in Helsinki woefully late
- Wed Sept 7th: Sleep. I magically have no classes on Wednesdays this quarter, score.
But, yeah, I roughly know what I'd like to see in Scotland, but I've done absolutely no planning for the London portion. It's a city I know decently well and it's not likely to be boring. :P Mostly I just want to see people.
totaldrwhofreak is very kindly letting me stay at hers when I'm in London, and I know
faeries_bite and
inappropriately have said they'll probably be around, and
apiphile might join me on my nerd day trip to Bletchley Park, and
thecatinthetree will be in Edinburgh. Anyone else?
