The first thing I did this morning, besides pee, eat breakfast, and get decently enough dressed, was walk all the way down to Tesco to get groceries. Because I had maybe four or five meals left and that would last me about two days and those are two fairly busy days, which means today was the day to do it. And I did it early because I thought I could pick up some cash from an ATM on the way there. Except I didn't find an ATM on the way there. Darn.
Bought so much food one of my tote bags broke. It was the Kashi one I got for free last summer too. Sadness. It was supposed to last longer. I guess it wasn't very good quality. Free stuff generally isn't. But anyway, I was able to rearrange my food in the bags I already had so no worries there. About a quarter of the way home I thought "Man, this is such a long walk!" So I took a bus to the corner of Lambeth and Kennington. Still no ATM. After putting my food away, I went to the Natwest down the street to see if that ATM was working yet, which it wasn't. And since I didn't know of any other ATM in the immediate area that dishes out free cash, I went to the silly one that charges you by the convenience store. Traded in 20 pounds for 10 singles and a 10 pound note at another store, and then I got back and took a shower.
And then I did laundry, which was the reason I wanted the ATM for the cash. No cards for the laundry services in the dorm. Made a sandwich with some of the stuff I got from Tesco, including the bread and RANCH SAUCE! Only place I found Rance sauce was Tesco. Also found bacon that's most similar to the bacon in the States. Eating that for breakfast tomorrow. Can't wait! Just for fun, I got some Italian spices for when I fry chicken and stuff. I feel special now.
And then I sat down to write my essay, but apparently I'm doing everything in my power not to write it. I'm about 2/3 of the way through writing it, so I guess it's not too bad. But even so, I would like to be done with it. Uuuggghhh. Oh, get this, I started doing OTHER homework to distract me from the homework I want to do. Aren't I odd?
Dinner was leftovers.
I want to take the time to point out that the Harry Potter book I got is a really nice size for a book. It's thin enough and small enough and looks really cool and elegant. And you know what makes it even better? It's hardcover. Yeah, baby! If I'm getting the British Harry Potter, I'm getting it in style.
Been talking with Sarah for the past hour and a half on Facebook chat. Also been plucking away at my essay. Ugh, essay. Ugh, homework. Ugh . . . responsibilities. Excuse me while I go complain some more.
