Readjusting

Well a lot has happened in the past week or so, so i will do my best to fill you all in! As you know, amanda had to head home last tuesday, so it's been almost two weeks and i am still readjusting to being more on my own. it's wierd to not really have someone to call after work and check in with. but i've been keeping busy and have had stuff to do so that's good.

the day after amanda left i actually went bowling with some people from work which was really fun, and i did a lot better than i thought i would! then on thursday i moved in here at in Chalk Farm which went smoothly. i also found out that day that two people agreed to move into my old room so it felt really good to get that sorted and taken care of. it's been really great in the new flat so far, i love the area and it's really nice to have my own space. it's so different than my last living situation, so it's taking some getting used to, but it's good. my commute to work takes about the same amount of time, maybe even a little less so that's nice.

this week i've just been working and hanging out. at the beginning of the week i was not feeling so great, sick with a cold. but i took my days off to recoup and it was good to have some down time and some good time to myself. then i had this weekend off which was amazing. i havn' had a proper weekend in a while. friday night everyone from work went out for drinks then i met up with max and andy (my flatmates) up near our flat which was really fun to meet some of their friends and hang out with them. the weather has been absolutely beautiful this week, so yesterday i went to primrose hill and laid in the sun all afternoon with a book and my ipod. at about 4 oclock people started gathering on the hill in costumes and stuff, so i was like hmm i wonder what they're doing. they proceeded to set up a giant slip and slide using a tarp and steaks and water and soap. it was incredible! then last night i went out for drinks with andy (my flatmate) and we had a really good time hanging out and getting to know eachother.

today was perfect weather again so we went to this little neighborhood carnival in swiss cottage by where i lived before. there was a reggae band and stilt walkers and a bunch of random stuff. we sat in the sun and listened to the music before walking back toward home through regents park and camden market. overall it's been a wonderful weekend spent in the sun, which i needed! i have found that i definitely need sunlight in my life! now i'm at home and max and andy are cooking up some dinner and we're going to hang out on the balcony.

so that's a short update on my life. love you all and talk to you soon!
