After yesterday's homesickness, today was definitely the cure. Still struggling a little to grasp the fact that yes, I am really here--it's not a dream. But I think eventually it will kick in, and this crazy tall flat will feel like a home.
Tiffany and I went with a group of other people today for the make-up orientation, which wasn't too much of a big deal. Just your typical this-is-what's-up sort of thing. The hall warden gave us some great tips on places to go, and we got to eat at Regent's for the first time. It was amazingly cheap and actually pretty good.
Tiff and I then went to explore Queen Mary's Garden in Regent's Park, and it was GORGEOUS. They have roses in literally every color. My favorite was probably the orange and pink, or maybe the ones that looked exactly like those in Alice in Wonderland. White with red splashes. So beautiful.
After that we went and wandered. We strolled down Baker Street and stopped at 221b, where they've ironically built the Sherlock Holmes museum. It was pretty cool, with some really creepy mannequins acting out the scenes.
After wandering Baker, we ran over to get cell phones from Carphone Warehouse. I couldn't understand a single word the guy said, but he definitely hit on us the entire time, and it was pretty funny. He asked what we were doing literally every day of the week... He was hilarious. I wish I knew half of what he said to us, lol. Such a heavy accent!
Later Tiffany and I went to the pub with Kalen and Alyssa. Pints!! I'm not exactly a beer person, so it was a learning experience. I already knew I liked Fosters, so I tried Carling... It was okay, I guess. Fosters is definitely better!
And now I'm up super late, blogging in the dark because Tiffany and I can't sleep. So tired, but jet lag says it's evening! Ugh.
More blogging tomorrow... All out of things to say today! :)
