London: Beginnings.
For those of you wondering...
Yes, it's pretty cold here, though only about at freezing and I hear it's been pretty chilly down in FL the past day or so too.
There is a 5 hour time difference (in case you weren't keeping track, so it's currently almost 2 a.m. here and I am definitely headed to bed right after this post.
I am living with two other girls in a flat in Islington (Deidra and Antonela). It's pretty nice minus the TINY bedroom with not enough clothing storage and a bunk bed. (I'm the top.)
Converting outlets is silly. Why aren't they all the same? And shopping for groceries was an experience for sure, since we weren't really sure what we were getting good deals on, etc etc.
Had my first tube and bus rides today after getting our travel cards this evening. That was exciting.
My computer is about to die right now and I definitely need sleep so I think that's all for now.
We might check out the British Museum tomorrow, so that should definitely be interesting. (I got a really cool British Museum bag at the supermarket to use as a reusable grocery bag.) Then our main orientation is Tuesday afternoon.
Anyway, leave some comments and stuff for me to respond to, because people aren't really on much to chat with because of the time difference and the fact that I limit my time online due to my time and bandwidth restrictions. I dunno.
Much love to you all in the states.
Cheers, [<-- because it's the British thing to do] :)
