Captain's Blog: Week 1
Hello out there blogshere,
It's been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said you loved me....okay I know that those are not the actual lyrics to the classic Bare Naked Ladies song "One Week" but I have been watching a lot of Big Bang Theory as of late so they as well as Star Trek references are stuck in my head. Also holy run-on sentence Batman!
I can't promise you that I'll stop these references but I can promise you that they will become infrequent at some point. Nonetheless on to the matter at hand...I've been in England for over a week now, thus time for some observations of note:
Some English people speak like they have marbles in their mouths and I have to have them repeat things several times and slow down before I even start to understand them
I think I have made friends but also am not sure because I don't ever make plans with my "friends"
I make an effort to leave my room everyday, even if it's just to go downstairs to the common room
Primark is a blessing and a curse, I have spent so much money there and I should feel guilty but I don't
J got his vacation approved for next year so he's coming to England!
I should probably write down the things I want to do here so I can have some accountability, but I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to do everything
I got my first piece of mail and I love it but also feel a bit weird about wearing a bracelet
I had a lovely text conversation with my former boss and it warmed my heart very much...but also made me miss home more than talking to anyone else
Making moves to get what is the UK version of a SSN, so I can find a job and start bringing in some cash money
I am still happy with my decision but this is probably the hardest decision I've made in a very long time
I think that is all of my reflections of note (or not) for the first weeks here. I will continue to jot down my thoughts, maybe one day I'll tell the world again that this blog exist. Maybe.
Until next post....laters
