home away from home away from home

I thought it was day-break when I was waking up. Nope it was just already getting dark- 3:45 pm
I had missed the day. So depressing. Plus I was going to get a fresh start and do work. Perhaps I will do that instead of going out tonight.

My life is so different here. I dont know if I like it or not. In Seattle all the people that I want to be friends with I am. I love my friends. I think each one is unique and amazing. I didnt tell anyone what I was thankful for yesterday- because everyone I was with kept saying " Im thankful for all the great people I have met here and being able to share this great time with all of you"

In my head I was thinking the opposite. I celebrated thanksgiving 2 times. Once with my flat. So it was american girls- Tovah Tiff Kelley. Kelleys boyfriend Tom- who is the dumbest bro you can imagine. and Tiffs friend Stacey who was visiting from the US. and then Adam, Paul and some other British dude that looks like John Mayer. They made some really good food and actually had a turkey- It was all really yummy. I didnt give a shit about the people though.

Then i took a nap. Went to go get booze. and went into E block. where Katie and her two friends who were visiting were cooking a shit ton of food. I sat around being useless- as always. all the other americans had gotten together to cook this thanksgiving meal. They used 3 kitchens- cooked 4 chickens . There was everything you could imagine. Including collard(colored) greens for Jess. It was Ridiculous. But we all gathered together and had a great meal. It was nice. But I didnt know most the people and thought it weird to be celebrating with them. But beth and Katie and Jess where there and so it felt okay.

took another nap. Then we drank a bit and went to the student union. All in all not amazing- but a nice time shared with people.

I miss everyone back home so much.

I want to make friends with certain people here- i dont know where to start.
The new people who move into my flat next quarter might be awesome. It could only be an improvement.

If my love for London was not as strong as it is I would be on the next flight home. New Cross is a shit hole. hahaha I think its hilarious. going into the city is still rewarding each time.

Miss my family a lot. Cant wait to show my parents London as I see it.

Jeff Abi and Mat are all coming to visit me.One after the other. My little heart is so happy!!
I cannot wait. Me and mat are going to Amsterdam. I have been doing some research. Im so excited. 21st Birthday in Amsterdam. I dont want to get my hopes too high- but i expect it to be amazing.
