... I'm always tired. Which is good, of course, but makes it hard to write good blog entries. But I'll try anyway...
Today we had acrobatics! Gaidig (one of my housemates, with whom I have class) and I took the bus, which took us from Stratford to Hackney seemingly by was of China, so we were a little late. But not late enough to miss the conditioning, which was awesome/painful! The other classes were good as well: it's really hard to describe what we do, since it's such a "journey" (that's the favorite word of our teachers). I hope you all don't mind that I don't go into detail about what we actually do: it would probably bore most of you to tears. :) But suffice it to say that it's stimulating, exhausting, exhilarating, and wonderful.
After class I got a desk from Argos, which is this awesome store where you look through a catalog and find what you want (anything from engagement rings to dishwashers), write its catalog number on a little slip, pay for it, and then wait for it to appear from the recesses of some vast storage room in the back of the store. So I got my desk, put it down to put the receipt in my bag, then realized I couldn't pick it up again. So I called my lovely housemates Frank and Anna and they helped me carry it home. So now in addition to being sore from acrobatics, my fingers and forearms are sore from carrying a heavy box. Yay!
And that was my day! Tomorrow's another one, and then on Friday I find out whether I have a job! I'll be sure to update when that pans out, can't wait...

Hey Joannie,
Not since our days of watching Carmen SanDiego (or since Calcutta) have I been so on the edge of my seat, following your adventures through the ins, outs, ups and downs of a foreign land (well, we haven't been hearing the exotic food stories to match Calcutta yet.. maybe that's to come). Miss you here in boring old Phila.!!We got a letter for you from "College Assist." Do you want me to forward it or open it and tell you what's inside? Also, can you send me Roger's email address?
Keep the posts coming!
Love ya,
Rachel
