ok, so i'm in london. just arrived this morning at 11 am after not having slept a wink on the plane. i took about a two-hour nap and headed out for a meeting with my classmates and professors at a local pub. the accomodations are quite nice. it'll be a little cramped with 5 girls in a two bedroom, 2 bathroom flat, but so far so good. the energy in the house has been very positive. it's certainly a girlie show with all of us comparing beauty products and exchanging hygiene secrets. we've been laughing plenty and i hope it will remain that way. maybe i can post some photos of the house and the chicks on this site. i'll see if that's a possibility when i make it to work this wednesday.

otherwise, i'm fucking beat. slept just two hours when i arrived, after having slept four hours the previous night. i cried my eyes out when i left, mostly for my dog, who'll likely think i abandoned her. i'm trying to push all those thoughts out of my head and so far it's been quite easy. there's plenty to keep me distracted and engaged in other things. london is beautiful, despite the weather being a bit overcast and cold. i'm exhausted, can hardly focus on this screen, but will keep trucking on through the night to adjust to the eight-hour difference. the girls want to go to a pub tonight. i think i might join them. (yawn) more later...
