I feel a bit like a tech-geek blogging, but it is the only way to keep in touch with everyone. Bear with me.
I arrived in London about a week ago, and already it feels a bit like home. Perhaps it is because I'm living with the Elias' and they are treating me so so well! I don't know how I got so lucky! Chloe and Mia wake me up in the mornings, I eat breakfast with them, then while they are at school, I have the day to myself to explore the city. At first going around on my own was a little intimidating, but I've got the hang of it, and it really is simple. London seems really safe and the transportation is great! So far, my favorite things that I've seen are: Neal's Yard (an eccentric collection of cafes and shops), Covent Garden (more shops), Notting Hill (antique and vintage shops), Portobello Road (bookshops and euro-cafes), and Borough Market (Euro-Pike Place Market). Hmm...i must like to shop! :) All of these places have such character...from funky to cozy...i love them all! I also went into the National Portrait Gallery and saw the Vanity Fair Exhibit. That was wonderful! Though I love celebrity photos....
I can't believe that I'm going to be gone until the end of August! I'm having slight/extreme anxiety about being away from home/dog/boy/friends for so long. Will I survive? Right now it is not so bad, but then again, I'm sort of living the life! I'm especially nervous for India. I'm worried about the work, the heat, what my project will entail, the heat, roommates, and the heat. Will I survive?

You are too cool...and you will totally survive. If you could handle bucket showers for two months you can do anything. And if anyone I know can do it its you! And don't feel like a nerd writing blogs...I feel like one reading it:) It all sounds amazing so far and I am excited to hear about the rest of it! Miss you lots and August 28th is already on my calendar for when you come home!(Even though hopefully I will be off on an adventure by then...we'll see:)
