It is slowly starting to actually sink in: I'm leaving here in six days. I've got six days left to be in the UK. To be in London. To be a stone's throw away from continental Europe. And while I've honestly missed everyone and missed New York and baseball - I feel like I just got here. Isn't it strange how that happens? I've been here for two months and some weeks, and I feel like I just arrived yesterday. I feel like I should have more time. But the worst part about leaving so soon? I'm GOING TO MISS THE PREMIER OF DOCTOR WHO SERIES 3!!! *sob*

On a side note, the Tally of Baseball Team Sightings as Seen in 10 Weeks.

48 50 Yankees caps, 1 Yankees tote back and 1 Yankees jersey.
4 Boston caps.
2 Tigers caps.
1 2 Mets caps.
1 Diamondbacks cap. (Hey, [livejournal.com profile] deviliknow: What in the good name of fuck is a Diamondback ;P)
1 Astros cap.
1 Dodgers cap.

And every time I've resisted the urge to ask the person wearing said cap if they were American. I think I deserve a pat on the back for my display of will power.

And finally: I have but two papers left to write, and one of those is half finished. I'll be glad when this is all over.

I can go to Kensington Gardens just because :P But yeah, I'll go for a picture of Peter Pan sometime on Wednesday. I've seen absolutely no Peter Pan stuff, however, anywhere in London. Sorry :(

aww, sad! I wonder where it all is? I couldn't find any when I was there either.

*hee!* What in the good name of fuck is a Diamondback ;D What in the world is a Diamondback cap doing in London? I guess there's nothing stopping an Arizona fan from being over there, but still. I'd have to guess that one was American :p

That will never get old :D

Actually, the Diamondback cap was in Glasgow, but the same principle applies. I'd say the owner of that one definitely had to be American, just like I'm pretty sure the Astros fan was. Everything else, oy, who knows.

Eat lots of delicious English food while you're still there. I'm sorry you'll miss the premiere of Doctor Who, alas. Have a safe trip back!

Fish n' chips every night until the end :D Except not really. I'm sorry, too, especially because I'm reaaaaally looking forward to Martha, and we're not going to get her in America for at least six months! :O Thanks!
