Okay, maybe I was a little harsh before on the ol' UK. I was completley distressed and in a state of what I'd say was emotional panic and the closest thing to me (my computer) was dying before my eyes with no chance of salvation because I had a French power adapter instead of a British one! I was kind of panicking, but right now, I'm feeling pretty good. We went to the market and I basically bought strictly breakfast food, since I figure I could eat eggs and cereal for each meal if I had to, and they are usually the easiest foods that don't perish. I also bought a pretty cool English beer for 2 pounds, it seemed pretty badass.
Anyway, I was miserable, having attempted to take a freezing cold shower, even though i was so hot my clothes were sticking to me like I had rolled around in super glue. But, now I'm better because I went to the store, bought an adapter and a fan, and also, put all my clothes away. I feel a lot more put together than I did. And I'm glad because if I had the chance before-- I probably would have headed right back down to the states.
I'm going to start taking pictures, mostly for Mum and Dad, because I know how much they want to see where I am at. Me and a few friends went down to a Pub called Victoria's and had a pint of beer and a salad, it was a half classy meal, and we watched tennis on the screen. It was lots of fun, we skipped out on the fish and chips that all the other kids were having, it was just too full of American kids from Kingston-- a little too cliche if you ask me. I'm sure we'll get fish and chips some other time. (Euughh.)
I also took a shower which was monumental for me in this long and tiresome day. It seemed like the only thing I couldn't have, and I didn't like that. As soon as I turned my "airplane" shower on, it was freezing cold. Then it FINALLY warmed up, and I took a lukewarm shower of my choice. It was refreshing and restored a lot more energy than I thought I had in me.
We walked about a half mile down the road and stopped at the pub. It was delightful. I think I'm going to quit while I'm ahead and go to bed within the next hour (it's 8:50 here). I think I deserve it.
