The Good..
I'm enrolled in school. June 28- Sept 17 I will be in class from 10am-5pm. This is a huge deal for me. I have weekends off and nights. Both have ceased to exist in my life for about 7 years. I plan on exploring as much as I can and really getting to know England.
I finally have my visa straightened out, now I won't be kicked out of the country (I got terribly confused on paper work and sort of freaked out over it). But it's all straightened out. I kid you not, I have my paper work in an orange folder set aside on my desk, very professional looking.
The Bad..
My Student Visitor Visa does not allow me to work. Living in one of the most expensive cities in the world with out a job will definitely be interesting. I know I'll manage, I can do hair on the side, and maybe get hired under the table assisting at a salon or even working at a bar. I'm selling about 98% of my worldly possessions via Craig's List, eBay, and soon to be a yard sale to save up everything I can. And working even more hours to make sure I'm safe.
I won't be bringing my puppy along, and I'm heart broken. I keep telling him that lots of kids spend the summer with their grandparents. I hate the thought of him being locked away in quarantine for any amount of time, let alone 21 days. And with no job I can't really afford to have him along. The silver lining is that he loves going to my parent's house and he gets to play with his cousin Peach (Pomeranian) all day until they pass out.
The Mediocre..
Still haven't found a home. I'm looking to live in Camden. It's not too pricey, cute area, and they have a Beget Express. So I'll manage just fine.
Everything is in full swing, so now I just have to sell everything, pack up what's left of my belongings and begin my adventure. I leave in a little over 2 months which I can't believe, seems like I was just in London and now it's going to be my home for a few months.
