new experiences: a list

route 507 between waterloo and victoria stations

having to wipe fog off the inside of the window in starbucks in order to people-watch

adding more money to my printing account at the library

umbrella turning inside out before it is even open

taking harry-potter-OWL-esque exam in a sterile, backpack-free environment with 500 other students

waking up before sunrise without the help of an alarm






This was supposed to have an optimistic tone but I think I may have failed at that. In related news, this morning I received a facebook message from a UCSD girl who is thinking of studying at King's next year. This is the first part of my response:

Ok, so yes, London was very very intimidating at first. People all do their own thing, they walk really fast, they don't smile, they wear pinstripes, it's hard to understand their accents, it's big, cloudy, loud, etc, etc, etc. Any fears you have about the anonymity of living in a huge city are probably true.

Then I talked about how it is worth it and fun and whatnot. But still, I hope I didn't scare her off. Probably should have waited until tomorrow to respond
