Friday and Saturday.

On Friday I got up in  my flat and called into work to see if there was any work. There was no work that day because the next week is half term break so there is no school the whole week. So I went to the visa office again because I got an email saying that there was bank mail for me at the office. It is kind of far away and across London. By the office there is a kind of street market there with really great food. So I garbed some food and just sat and people watched. I was able to go shopping and get some things that I have been wanting to have since I have been here. Stuff like a blow dryer and a straightener, stuff that is not that important but that make things a little nicer. I have unpacked and gotten pretty settled into my room, its small and not a lot going on with it but it is all I need. I went down so the store down the street from here, with one of my flat-mates. The store is large and actually has lots of choices unlike most of the shops here which are small and are more like a minnie mart. I walked around the store for a while just looking at all the choices and trying to figure out what I needed. I got some stuff and decided to make dinner. It was nice to be able to cook and not have to eat out. I ended up making dinner and hanging out with my other flat-mate whose birthday it was.  Since it was her birthday we got her Champagne and cake and hung out a little and celebrated. It is nice to have a home base type of place that I feel comfortable in and can go to and be comfortable in. 

                     This morning which is Saturday I woke up and got ready and just went walking around the neighborhood. It is really nice there is just a lot of little shops and places to eat. There are a lot of people who are out just walking about. I came back to the flat and got a load of wash going. It is a washer and dryer in one, but it does not really dry that well. The cloths come out wet but warm at the same time. you also cant wash in cold water the coldest our washed goes is 30 degrees celsius. I then went to the post office with my flat-mate and then went and grabbed a coffee. It is really a nice area and just nice to hang out in. Tonight we are going out to dinner for one of the girls birthdays and that should be fun. I leave for Copenhagen tomorrow and plan on going to Amsterdam on Wednesday through Friday. I am excited to go travel around and see more Europe. I hope everyone is doing well and keep me updated on what is going on!

    Love lots
