Huzzah for London, for I am here!

I have no idea why I just wrote that. Anyway. Moved into what is to be my new four-story-walk-up home; at least for the next ten weeks. I'm not on the fourth floor, at least. ... I'm on the third. And there's a small mezzanine. And I had to carry my two bags up, and my laptop, and let me tell you I'm going to have some fantastic legs by the time I walk out of here.

The room is rather like a hostel room, as I have a bunk-bed even though I have no roomate. There's also a closet tucked into a corner by what used to be a fireplace (now it's blocked off), so only one of the doors opens fully. I've got a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a sink, and enough dishes for one person. The laundrette prices are fantastically ridiculous, so I'll wind up having to either wash half my clothes by hand or hope to get a job. Similarly I have to either eat out or cook for myself. Hello Mac n' Cheese.

Before I can start putting pictures up, I have to find an electronics shop and buy a proper adapter - the one I have doesn't fit the plugs in the room. Hopefully I'll find that within the next week, as for the next two days I have orientation, and classes start on Monday. Currently I'm in the computer room, listening to something that sounds kind of like coins dropping or a high-hat. It's a bit annoying.

Not much else to report, so I'll finish here. 'Till later.

London is much cooler with you in it ;) Glad you got there safely! Are you a top bunk or bottom bunk kinda person?

Awww, thank you ;D I am, too. It was actually easier getting back, because once I've been somewhere I remember the directions completely. I'm totally a bottom bunk person. I hate the idea of having to climb a ladder to get to bed when all I want to do is fall into it.

Perhaps you will become the next great chef, using only a microwave to prepare dishes. It could happen.

It could happen. It's unlikely, but it could happen. I'll wait and see.

Work as a Welsh guard. I'll loan you my coat. XD

Unfortunately that would mean a four-hour commute to and from Wales every day, and I don't think I could do it. I'd love to have your coat, though ;D
