The Anti-Settlement

     Ladies and Gentlemen, please believe my earnest and non-exaggerated decree that I am absolutely horrible, unreliable, and develop child like dependencies when it comes to navigating anything. I can AND will get lost anywhere, including Heathrow Airport after relentlessly following unbeknown families.
    Alas, I did eventually find Customs (40 minutes after the landing).
    Anywho, after getting in a minor car accident on the way to the flats, we finally had our first orientation where I received a cell phone via 2006 and carbonated water made from soy beans and lime.
    And now, after 30+ hours of absolutely no sleep, I am exhausted in every sense of the word. Alas again, I cannot sleep because it's three in the afternoon and we are going on more adventures soon. This is my life. These are my choices. Ah well. To deprivation!!

London Love, Kristen

PS- I will become more aware of the incoherency of this post in due time. But for now I just don't have the brain capacity to care :)

    You are about to start one of the most magnificent experiences of your life! From one stranger in a strange land to another: just remember to be open to everything - the warmth of others and their weird culture, the cold air around you, opportunities to laugh, learn, drink, be in weird and uncomfortable situations, and to talk to with anyone and everyone. I'm SO glad you have a blog I can follow - you are a beautiful and bright person with quite an adventure ahead of you!

    All my 4-H love,

      I'm so happy to hear from you! Thank you so much for your message, and it really means a lot to me. I've only been here a week, but I can already so that I've learned soooooo much. I'm definitely taking advantage of this opportunity to learn more about other people, cultures, and myself.
      Hope you're doing well at school and you have a wonderful semester!!

      London & 4H Love,
