I moved into my place shortly after 2 PM yesterday. It is very nice. The room is about the size of my old room in Austin. I have somewhere between 3 and 6 flatmates. I met two of them yesterday and they are nice. I haven't seen much of them since though. Both of the flatmates I met were female. I took a shower yesterday and saw multiple razors on the side of the shower so I'm guessing there are more females here. We share a kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Everything is very clean and there are plenty of security cameras in the halls. The noise from Oxford Street is intense at times, but I was able to get to sleep last night.

After moving in I went to the grocery store and got the essentials, stuff for turkey sandwiches and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They did have Dr. Pepper which certainly made my day. I am an avid Dr. Pepper drinker and it was nice to be able to have one.

I attempted to do laundry, but the machine is broken and won't be fixed until Wednesday...not good considering I have, well all the clothes I have are dirty. I'm about to search for a laundromat.

I met up with TR and Ajay at Piccadilly Circus and we ate at Pizza Hut due to cost saving measures. The bill was still around 8 pounds= $16 and we didn't have all that much. I will be forever amazed at the finances here.

We then went by the supermarket and bought some wine and brought it back to my flat. We invited Kendra who we met the night before and we hung out for a while. We then went in search of a pub. Last night was TR's last night. We walked through Soho and Kendra asked some people hanging out outside a bar where an open pub might be. Somehow we got into hilarious conversations with the group and soon discovered that we were talking to none other than Miss Crystal him/herself. Miss Crystal was not in drag at this time and was just dressed in normal guy clothes. The entire group was hilarious. They starting hitting on Ajay without being the least bit subtle about it. They told him they liked his chest. Ajay def. got really uncomfortable which triggered TR and I to encourage the comments. Miss Crystal brought the English wit to a new level. Every time we said anything he/she would twist our words into a very suggestive and hilarious line. The group of guys and one or two older women kept insisting that Kendra show more leg and basically commented on each of our appearances and what we could do to better ourselves. We were invited to one of their birthday parties at the pub on Wednesday night when Miss Crystal will be performing. Evidently her favorite ballads are those sung by Diana Ross. Kendra is really pushing for us to go, but I think I might be busy...or sick...or well magically disappear. Overall it was a very funny evening.

I woke up at 7:15 AM this morning and couldn't go back to sleep due to the noise and being so used to getting up early. So much for enjoying the last day to sleep in before work.
