So flathunting is really scary, but we succeeded!
We started Tuesday, by visiting two flats a woman had to let who had letted to London Center students before. The apartments were nice, but she was buckets of crazy. After getting home to the hotel, we decided that we were far FAR too exhausted to continue the search that night, and that we would all go back and get some rest. It was 5pm and we all went right to bed.
I woke up at 6am.
I slept for 13 hours.
It was incredible, I mean on a level that no one could ever comprehend. Then I had the hotel's breakfast, which was even more incredible. It was amazing. The best breakfast in the history of anything.
Wednesday was a completely new day, one in which I had a new lease on life and a new optimism. I had been dreading London for weeks, and was relieved when I was finally able to start enjoying myself. Then we started flathunt... This was an important, yet daunting experience. We saw some SHIT-HOLES let me tell you. Yikes, places I wouldn't want my worst enemy living in. Finally, Thursday, we found a house that we liked. We had discussed houses before, and I though we would never be able to get one. We did get one, and we have been in it the last two nights.
All in all, I am happy with the way things have gone. We haven't had heat for two days, and we had our first experience with an Argos (more on that later) which left us with no blankets. Hopefully we can get internet soon and I can update this more frequently. I am really having a wonderful time, and am very glad I chose to come here. This is going to be an invaluable experience for me, and something that will stay with me for me entire life.
I <3 London.
