i'm alive and well. the move went well (and was easier than what i thought it would, maybe because jay carried all the really heavy stuff?). we've all moved in, and the place looks wicked. i love my room. it's weird how different it feels being here, instead than in our little flat in stoke newington. we've discussed it; and this place feels less cozy but i feels more spacious, a real flat, not a student place at all. we're loving it. and the kitchen is so nice!!! i'm not going to take pictures just yet, because there are a few bits and pieces that still need to go in. especially in my room, since that huge wardrobe i told you about is basically falling apart, so they'll get a smaller one in with a new chest of drawers as well (actually, i wanted to have a chest of drawers. i haven't got enough drawers)... hopefully the landlord will do all this while i'm gone to scotland, so i can get back and start settling into my room. most of my posters are up, all of my stuff is put away and in its place, and it feels lovely. to have all of my things here as well... i finally feel like i'm somewhere to stay, at least for a while.
tomorrow night i'll be going to jay's house (well, his parents') and stay there until thursday morning when he'll drive me to the airport. so tomorrow i'll have proper internet (right now i'm just connecting with crappy dial-up to download my email and such). i need to sort out broadband asap. but it'll have to wait until the end of the month when i'll have a bit more money... there are so many things i want to buy for this place, but right now i can't afford anything... it sucks.
