day ten: a home for me!

yes folks, you read correctly...I have finally found a home! or, rather, people want me to live with them. isn't that great??? I will be living with three other girls (english, kiwi, aussie) who all work, so there will be that bit of detachment from the school/goldsmiths atmosphere, which will be quite nice. the flat is near the cricket oval, so perhaps I'll pick up that bit of english culture up through osmosis.

with this move, I'll be able to unpack my suitcase. (yes jennie tyma, this means that london has yet to experience my sexy galoshes...watch out!) and I'll have a kitchen, which means I can cook whenever I want. and I can knit again and read in my own space. and I can wash my clothes...and then hang them to dry. (dryers are not too common about here. odd, no?) and, well, other house-oriented things. you all perhaps are laughing at my great enthusiasm for this corner of the world, as people move in and out of places everyday. but this, this is big folks.

as I've finished classes for the day (and I must say that I'm a bit disappointed in my postcolonial theory class), I am going to pop over to meet my landlord and drop off my rent. emily and kate (both american students; one's from vassar, the other's a friend of ms. sarah vdr) may sigh a bit a collective relief together (ie hangout) now that I will have an actual place to host soup nights. (mmm...)

I'm really really quite excited for this move. and prospective guests (and all of you who are reading this are prospective guests, I do hope), my room has a double bed. that's right folks, lots of cuddling in london avec moi awaits each of you!

loves to all...and a new home for me!
