Oh Thank GOD.

I have somewhere to live that is (a) clean (and is also cleaned weekly by someone who is not me! Yay!!!), (b) basically a block north of the British Museum, making it within spitting distance of my school, and (c) is kind of expensive as hell. Thank you, parents!

So yes - it does have a site on the interweb, but I figure that if anyone is actually interested in visiting, you can at least give a heads up before barging in. At least, that's my brother's plan. And he will be sponsored by my parents (which means sponsoring me while I take him to many wonderfully delightful places throughout the continent), so I don't mind THAT shit at all.

It's less than two weeks until I'm there. Not until I leave, but until I am well situated in my own little room overlooking Bloomsbury in the heart of London. I will, in fact, have been to the orientation meeting at Gray's Inn. That, my friends, kind of freaks my shit out a little bit, but mostly in a good way. For now.

Um. Never mind!

Garden in London

The internet seems to be happily working for now. We *might* have a lead on a house in London. This house. Gah. Five bedrooms, three stories - it would be perfect for the group of people that seem to be all looking at something, and it's cute to boot.

And the garden. Oh my god. LOOK AT THE EFFING GARDEN!!!!!!! It's amazing, which means something will go wrong and prevent me from living there, but oh MAN. It's so MANICURED!!!!!

So. Today is better on that front than yesterday was, most definitely.

GOD DAMNIT.

So. This whole study abroad thing may be made thaaaaaaaaaaat much more unpleasant by the fact that, for two times this past week, the lovely little laptop has refused to connect to the network (school and home) for at least a half hour. Needless to say, this is frustrating me to no fucking end.

We also still have nowhere to live.

However, in three little delicious weeks (returning late on the 31st, which makes for a delightful laundry/packing for London time, ew), I'll be jetting off to Curacao. Yay warmth and potential tann-ness. That has nothing to do with the semester abroad, except it may start me off in a *muuuuuuuuuch* better mood than I'd normally have in early January. :)
