So, I'm in London now! I'd say it's hit me what I'm doing. I'm a bit lonely, but I haven't cried, and I'll certainly survive.
I arrived on Wednesday midday. I made my way to the hostel. Sorted myself out for the remainder of the week (I'd rather stay in a not-so-great hostel, then schlep my luggage on the tube again to a better hostel). I then proceeded to Oxford street to look at the shops. I got myself a UK sim card. I tried to find a winter coat, but to no avail. I tried again today and saw a couple that were okay, but I think I'm still going to look. They're more expensive then I thought they'd be, so I want to actually like it, rather than settle for one! I also went to the Bunac office and re-vamped my resume. Tomorrow I have orientation, so, I think I'll learn a lot more about how to find a place to live and a job.
I'm still pretty tired. That could be because a) I didn't sleep super well last night, b) I'm still jet-lagged, and c) I only slept for two hours on the overnight flight here. Hopefully I'll sleep better tonight. I have to wake up fairly early tomorrow so I can switch rooms and make it the orientation at 10:30am!
I'm seeing a friend from university (Shannon - who first introduced me to livejournal!) on Saturday who's going to be in London for the one night (she was in Paris for two months improving her French and she's going back to Canada from Heathrow). We're going to meet up for dinner! It will be great catching up with her again!
I texted my family friend, Hilary (who's here for university - I stayed with her in February), but she doesn't seem interested in getting together. Which kind of pisses me off. I dunno why. I know she's busy, and I know she already has her own friends, and we're not close or anything, but you think she could suggest a time to meet for coffee or something. Whatever. It's only been a day, and I'm not going to get pissy about it.
I should email my one other friend who lives here. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. I don't feel like getting any more rejections today!
I'm going to shower, and then try to sleep! Good night!
