I think that I officially don't feel like I am on vacation. I live here, in freaking London, so I might as well get comfortable. I bought a pillow as the one I have been provided with sucks. I have 2 towels for the shower, one for my hair and one for the rest of me. My "pantry" is stocked with basics. I have figured out where my family's schedule and my schedule match up so I can FaceTime them (which is almost everyday to be completely honest). I would dare say that I am prepared for the remaining 90 days of this adventure.
The nice thing about feeling established is that I recognize that I am here to live, and as this is my life and not just a vacation, there are things that I have to be responsible to get done, homework being the main one. So that is what today was all about, getting stuff done.
I hope that most people agree with me when I say that the feeling of accomplishment is one of the best feelings. Looking back at all you have done is liberating! For that reason, I don't feel all that bad sitting in and getting a bunch of homework done.
But London is cool and you can go out for two hours and have a cool experience after spending the majority of the day on homework. Just find a red double-decker bus and let it take you somewhere else.
As great as the YOLO mantra is, there still is stuff that must be done that doesn't fit it's guidelines (i.e. grocery shopping). Now I am all for making the most of every second, but I don't believe that you can achieve that when you don't take care of the necessities (and how can you make the most of every moment on an empty stomach anyways?)
I was a bit defeated when I sat down to type this, thinking that today didn't contain anything that people would be dying to read about or look at pictures of. But then I realized that I totally do not regret today at all and I shouldn't! As long as you feel good about it, it was probably the correct decision, so don't regret it.
Night munchkins,
