Starvin Marvin...
I've been hungry all day. and i've eaten more than I've eaten in a long time. but Pete did just point out that everything I ate was junk food so that might be the reason:
packet of crisps (i thought the corner shop would be the only thing open at 6:30am)
egg muffin and a hash brown (turns out mcdonalds was open)
fruit and nut chocolate bar (to give me an energy boost when i got to London)
slice of pizza
regular fries
vegetable wrap with fries (although I didn't eat much of this because I wasn't that hungry and I didn't like it very much)
and now I'm cooking some pasta cos im hungry again!
I didn't manage to meet up with Fabienne today, the world was plotting against us. her phone has died also. possibly possibly thinking of going to Preston on Weds to see her because it'll be my last chance before I leave.
I only had one hours sleep last night - and i just slept for half an hour on the train home. im so tired!
London was cool. I noticed that I always rush around in an attempt to look like I know where I'm going. Found my way to the embassy mostly through sheer luck. i almost asked some policemen for directions but then i noticed they had big guns in their hands so i stayed away (its funny that they dont make me feel very safe). the whole process didn't take too long really - about 2 hours. I now owe Ruth £80 though because there was a fee that I forgot to pay. money grabbing bastards.
i had to call Josalin from a phone box to tell her i'd put her name on my visa form - i had to put someone down who could verify my address and phone number that was a non-family member and she was the only person whos address and phone number i had with me. hope she doesnt get any dodgy calls. and if she does i hope she doesn't tell them that she doesnt know me!
we went to visit Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, walked on the Millennium Bridge and saw Big Ben, it was fun acting all touristy even if I have seen most of them before. it was the first day I've spent with Ruth that wasn't revolved around uni. its nice to see that we get on outside the classroom - bodes well for Keene. we met up with her friend, Yen, and went to a mexican restaurant where i tried my first mexican food. as i said, i wasn't too impressed.
i have a sore toe now. possibly a blister :(
