day six: the bureaucratic machine in full force

and this time, with no answers...really.

the sad reality is that I may be living in a hostel until my loans come through, unless I move into college housing. pros: if a room was available in the next few days, I'd have a home that I could settle into during the beginning of classes; could most likely move in immediately, regardless of the fact that I don't currently have loan money in hand. cons: new cross area (would like to experience more than just one part of london on a daily basis); dorm room is probably not super comfortable situation for any guests that may come to visit; not living in imagined 'ideal' flat for the year.

the need for a home is getting bigger in my head each day, as living in a backpack is not really all that fun. (though I did do it for months at a time in cameroon, so it can be done.) it will be nice once the housing is straightened out, once I can unpack my things, once I can afford to eat a bit more, et cetera.

sorry all...you can tell what the all-encompassing thought is in my head: get my funds so that I can actually move into a home!
