day eight: life begins to move into a direction of semblance

what can I mean by that? well, first off, I may or may not be moving into a flat on friday afternoon. met the third roommate of a flat that I had visited on wednesday. I should find out about that space by tuesday...fingers crossed? there is another place not too far from this flat that would be fine, but I think this first flat would be a bit more ideal, both for getting to college and to central london. I'm not really sure what the living life would be around this area, but it seems fine enough, so I'm not too worried. I'm also not trying to set my heart on this, so we will see sooner than later.

also, I bought a mobile! yes, people, I have succumbed to the uk network system that I in no way understand. honestly, this many pence to call this network, that many pence to quickly ring the united states, topping off my phone. I thought I might be able to figure it all out before purchasing and that I could get by ringing on pay phones, but enough is enough. people here can't get a hold of me, people at home (should anyone want to) can't get a hold of me. really, it's a better situation for everyone.

so folks, here it is. dialing from the states, my mobile is the following: 011 44 786 330 8352. it will cost me nothing if you ring and, with the pinching of pennies right now (yes, they call the one pence pieces pennies. okay, so yes, I have obviously never been here before and am reveling in all of the tiny nuances of this new place.), I doubt it will be me ringing for a bit of time...at least until I get my loan monies.

so all, that's that. classes begin tomorrow, I'm still in some limbo of where I will call home, and I have a snazzy new phone that I plan on bedazzling as soon as funds become more available.

my love to all.
