I got here on Wednesday and Thursday has now passed. Today I spent the morning and afternoon on Regent Street helping Ellie pick out clothes for her first day at the BBC (!). I am excited for the winter time when you get a glass of mulled wine upon walking into the Gap on Regent Street.
Oxford Circus is obscenely full of people, I forgot how overwhelming it can be. Seattle, while a large city, cannot measure up to the normal number of people in Oxford Circus in a day. I am sure I will soon become jaded to this fact, but at the moment I am still in awe.
Ellie and I went to see Julie and Julia tonight. I liked it a lot, but the ending disappointed me. I think the story ended up being a bit incongruous.
I have quite a few tasks to complete to actually feel like I live here - bank account, phone, start school. I am nervous about school, but excited to meet new people. I haven't had to do this in about 5 years - go out and make friends. I think that once I get into the swing of school, I will start feeling more normal. At the moment, everything feels strange, like a dream. I think I still can't believe I don't live in Seattle anymore. I don't even know how to react.
