London Calling

last book i've read: A-Z London map book
music currently caressing my ears: The Guess Who
general mood: excited, intimidated, peaceful
quote: Sally, having swallowed cheese
Directs down holes the scented breeze
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.
--Geoffrey Taylor, Cruel Clever Cat. 1933

So, finally, here I am in London, England. Before London, there was California, the last time I'll be there until Wayland is done in Massachusetts. It was a lovely week, and I'm glad I had the chance to see him before I came here. Then there was home. Home is always comforting. I just wish I could have had more time to be with everyone. Despite that, here I am. In London. Everyday exciting, rainy and bright Londontown. I've already had the chance to, with my aunt, visit the National Gallery and the British Museum. Tonight will be my first night in the London Centre, and tomorrow Brianne, my roommate for the next 3 months, will be here. Woo, excitement. It's also been raining since I arrived. But that's all right, I came prepared. Lichen rainjacket, shoes sprayed with waterproof stuff, and lots of layers. So what if I brought more than they told us to bring, I had my aunt to help me. So what if I don't know 2/3 of the students here, I'll make them be my friends. So what if I miss Wayland, I know I'll see him again. I will, won't I?

Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight. Just 'cuz I'm an old fuddy duddy. And 'cuz I'm a little bit lonely. And 'cuz tomorrow there will be excitement. My first Friday in London. Spent sleeping!
