Still Day One

Well I am really tired.  I kept like falling asleep, it was terrible.  I wish this day would just be over so I can sleep.  Well, I went to the local tesco, and bought some sandwich stuff and  some breakfast stuff.  I also got a Starbar.  The supermarket really is a weird place, and really busy at 7 o'clock. 

Ok, so I figured out that it doesn't matter what side of the road they drive on, people are really crazy drivers.  I almost got run over by a black cab who did not use the turn signal.  I also thought someone was going to run into me; they were halfway through the intersection, and decided that they needed to make a crazy U turn and drive on the sidewalks too. 

By the way, people don't have a clue which side to walk on, It is just a big mess trying to walk anywhere that is even semi crowded. 

I used a 20 pound note to pay at the tesco and I got change back, yay, now I gotta get used to using GBP.  I also need to go to the atm to get more money.  I bought detergent so now I only have like maybe 20 pounds left. 

The residence orientation was interesting, I never thought about all the temps for kitchen and laundry being in C.  I guess I can figure it out.  Basically we shouldn't break anything, have parties, or get involved in any drug buisness. 

Oh, we have a neighbor named Mary who apparently lives in her own universe.  I haven't met her yet, but i figure I will.  I am so tired of walking up and down creaky stairs.  The door to our flat is on the fourth floor, and the kitchen is on the fifth floor, so I have to walk up five flights of stairs to put away my groceries.  Better yet, the stairs are all twisted and turn randomly.  They even have wedge shaped steps.  I am surprised that I haven't tripped yet.  Even though I complain, this building is so cute and very "central London" ish.  It is located in a good neighborhood, maybe a more expensive one, but it really is nice. 

I have just been told that the pub is open till eleven, maybe I will go later.  I might even buy a drink.
