Day Fifty:: FIFTY DAYS IN LONDON

Fifty things about London (sorta kinda):

  1. I am now really good at looking the correct why when checking for cars when crossing the street
  2. The double decker busses still haven't gotten old
  3. The homeless person on Glouster Road has gotten old
  4. Ben's Cookies is heaven on earth
  5. Hyde Park is so great and I need to go more
  6. I have become really good at cooking in a tiny kitchen with a lot of girls in it
  7. I love public transit
  8. I have began to say "Sorry" in a British accent when i accidentally run into someone
  9. I run into people a lot
  10. I am good at telling what compass direction we are headed.facing and I don't even have the Utah mountains as a reference here, I am amazing
  11. They hand out the newspaper for free here
  12. I read the newspaper here
  13. I mainly read the fashion related stuff though
  14. My shower is super tiny, but I no longer feel super claustrophobic (only a bit claustrophobic)
  15. I miss having my own room
  16. I am tired of my bunk bed
  17. I am tired of not having a mirror in my bathroom
  18. I climb 5 flights f stairs to get to my flat and I was hoping my now that I would not get winded in that ascent, I still get winded
  19. I really enjoy going to the grocery store alone
  20. I heard that Brits loved how nice Americans are but I think that I have met a higher abundance of nice people here than in the States
  21. Things close really early here, which I didn't think would be that case, and it results in people doing their grocery shopping while on their lunch break, only making it stranger to me.
  22. St. Paul's doesn't get enough credit, it's absolutely stunning
  23. The art scene here is a trillion times bigger than I ever expected, I am absolutely not complaining.
  24. HOLY CRAP EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE HERE
  25. Even sending a letter to home is expensive
  26. Diet Dr. Pepper is not a thing here, it's a shame
  27. I am so grateful for FaceTime
  28. Sometimes I have moments where I am doing something and it hits me again that I am in London, how crazy is that?
  29. I haven't gone to a J. Crew in over 50 days.  I didn't know that was possible for me.  But there is one here that I intend to go to, but I am afraid that it won't small like it does at home and that scares me for some reason
  30. I have blogged everyday for these fifty days
  31. Crepes are much easier to find here.  This brings me joy
  32. My iPad battery always seems t be between thirty and ten percent and how that is confuses me
  33. Cathedrals are all over England
  34. Seriously so many cathedrals
  35. Still no celebrity sightings, but if I did you better know I would be super respectful
  36. I was at a Fashion Week show.  Still not over that.  Never will be
  37. The phone booths are never used anymore, seriously just a decoration now
  38. It is amazing how the world will expand if you put your phone down
  39. I can now (finally) properly pronounce Thames
  40. I cook dinner every evening and I really enjoy it
  41. They really like coins here, there is not a one pound note, just a coin.  It adds up quickly
  42. I have learned to make the most of every moment
  43. I haven't driven a car in fifty days which seems weird
  44. I have 40 new friends
  45. It really does rain all the time here
  46. The sunshine is highly sought after
  47. They don't refrigerate their eggs and it kills me
  48. I am always busy
  49. Starbucks is everywhere.  You will find five Starbucks before getting to the next tube stop probably
  50. I LOVE MY FAMILY AND ADDISON SOO MUCH
Happy day,
Kelsie
