Well, I made it. I'm here. My suitcases are unpacked, and I'm remembering how expensive (time and money-wise) it is to set yourself up somewhere new. But I'm mostly set up, though I'm still trying to find a foldable grocery trolley and an air drying rack for laundry. Those things I may just get from Amazon though... I'm going to be making knishes this week, a double batch so that one I can eat/freeze and one I can share with my flatmates. It is definitely a work in progress: getting set up, finding my way around, dealing with homesickness. And I'm quite sure that won't stop being the case. However, for now, I'm at a reasonable spot considering I've been here less than a week.
Of course, I'm a little out of it today because I've contracted a cold. The post-nasal drip started yesterday evening and has continued through today. As such, my honey and lemon-juice stores have taken a hit. My hope is that because I don't have things to do for my course/job until Thursday of this week, I can take today and tomorrow to rest and nip everything in the bud. Thankfully tea is plentiful here in the UK. ;) But you all don't want to hear about my body's inability to maintain its immune system after a 9 hour flight followed by a 2 hour flight followed by 4 jetlagged days (and 4 nights of not so great sleep because of it). You probably want some pictures, right? Well, never fear! I haven't taken a whole lot yet, but below are the pictures of my adventure so far. I'll be adding a page for photos on the site as well, so you can see them all regardless of whether you can find this post again. Also of note, once I officially start my PhD, I'll also add a page that contains my posts specifically about my programme, so keep an eye out for that in early October. Happy Reading!

AuthorThe author is a librarian who reads "too much" (is there such a thing?) and talks just as much. As an aspiring author she gets bogged down by grammar rules when she just wants to forget them to make a sentence flow, but never seems to be able to. She appreciates thoughtful comments and constructive criticism, but internet trolls beware, she's read enough fantasy novels to know how to defeat the monsters. Archives
