I was finally able to sleep in this morning, and when I finally woke up at two in the afternoon I decided that it was time for me to go out and get myself a UK cell phone. So, after puttering around my room for a little while, I finally got my things together and left Nido to walk downtown to go to the phone store that is on Tottenham Court Road (?) over by where my classes are held at ACCENT. See, where I live (Nido) is over in King's Cross, which is on Pentonville Road, but where my classes are (ACCENT) is over in the Bloomsbury area, more specifically on Great Russell Road, which is about a 25 minute walk through town from where my apartment is. So this afternoon, I headed out, hoping I would not get lost on the way. BUT, not only did I not get lost, I found my way perfectly on my own. I was able to get all the way to ACCENT, and then remember my way over to the cell phone store from when we went there the other day. I was so very pleased with myself. And I was very happy.
I am so happy to be here, words can't even really explain it very well. I can't believe that I finally was able to figure out everything in my life so that I would be able to have this amazing and incredible experience. And I also can't believe that it's only been four days and I am already able to find my way about (more or less...heehee) and listen to my iPod and get a coffee on the way home (still takes me awhile to figure out the correct change to pay with though) and also to enjoy it the whole time. The weather is pretty nice here: sort of like typical Berkeley weather actually - meaning overcast and about 60-65 degrees all the time. Pretty windy too. But the walk is so pleasant, especially since it is totally flat. I am so used to having to deal with all the uphills on my walks in Berkeley, that it is a welcome change.
So there is my cheesy moment for the afternoon. :)

I read your solo walk blog again, that must be a really great feeling, a real sense of accomplishment. I know you are a bit burned out on Berkeley, but I remember when you first got into CAL and what a thrill that was. Life will continue to be filled with these types of moments where things just go right and are really great. In between those moments is a bunch of much less exciting things, and sometimes bad things, so learn to enjoy and appreciate it all, its all a part of life's experiences that are worth hanging onto. They help you as you move on in life to make better and better decisions. Unless, of course you are Annica, who is already perfect and always makes incredible life decisions. Bye for now.
