I'm doing alright. I've been room-hunting lately and looked at a few places. My lack of knowledge of London is being made very apparent - unfortunately the neighbourhood I lived in last year is slightly too far from my new workplace. So I have to find somewhere else, which is kind of an adventure and kind of a bit daunting. I looked at a place today which was in a privatised council flat, next to a sixth form in a working class neighbourhood. I have no idea what that means. Crime??? If I'm apprehensive about it, it probably just means I'm a sheltered middle class wuss. Who knows?? Anyway, that uncertainty is probably a fixture of adult life (not being in university or at home with family) so while it feels kinda funny I am not super freaked out by it. I wanted new experiences and a chance to grow up and here it is. Bon appetit to me, I guess!
