I figured this day needs a special blog, since it's an important date. One whole week in the UK and I'm still holding strong. I must say, I'm actually quite proud of myself, though there are certain things that annoy me. Like how...no matter what you do, someone will come ruin it no sooner than the second you're done. Par example: cleaning a table, gathering someone's toys. Makes me wanna think twice about the whole 'have your kids' issue, but that's a tale for another time.
We went to see Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang today, which is a funny movie with Ralph Fiennes, Emma Thompson and Maggie Smith. Only my sister will get the references, cause she's a nerd and I love her. But for the untrained eye? Lot of Harry Potter actors, which of course made the film more entertaining. I'm finally learning my way around this town using public transportation, I can safely use their money (hooray for all the math private sessions, they help a lot!) and I'm loving the fact that people here are extremely friendly. My neighbor, Geraldine, she's French and she speaks this broken English, it's hilarious. I'm sensing loads of Saturdays out and that's always a good thing in my book.
What else, what else. Getting my papers ready to send next week, finally getting my own routine around here. The new kitchen is coming up pretty quickly, apparently it's going to look amazing. Until then however, it's nothing but a bunch of dust and drilling noises all day long. Oh well. Can't have everything. I plan on trying out Indian food with my first pay check, in London no less. It's still early to assume, but I kind of feel like my life is on the right track for once. Yeah, it's hard and yeah, it's tiring. But it's worth it. If only certain people would stop trying to second-guess me, that would be wonderful. No matter how many times you say I'm coming home soon, that will not happen. I'm determined to make this right and you can't change that. Stop trying, enjoy life, smell a rose. Best of luck.
Loving this Nickelback song. Enjoy!
