sometimes i forget that im in london. i get used to how things are. i get used to the tube, i get used to driving on the left side of the road, i get used to pounds as the currency. i forget that i am in this awesome, amazing place that has so many magical things for me to see. i sit in my room and blog, or i skype, or i order pizza with friends. not saying that those things are bad. i need to do "normal stuff" but i want to be going to the museums, going to the markets, seeing the touristy sites. i've been pretty good about seeing some things. like the pubs. haha...not that thats hard, but some of the pubs around here are really cool. i was looking in my guide book the other day, and i've already been to half of the "top 10" ones in london :) i was proud of myself. but i've only been to 1 market, 1 musuem. i've been on tons of walking tours, but that was the 1st week. i wanna get out there and see more stuff. im in london for goodness sake! i dont wanna think of my time here and remember being in the dorm or doing homework or whatever. i want to remember the trips that i took, the coolest places i saw in london. in a way i think its cuz i've been here for so long that i feel almost like a regular londoner. i can navigate the tube system better than some of the ppl i work with, i know how to order food like a normal londoner. the only difference is my accent, but really, there are tons of ppl with american accents in london who arent tourists. and thats the thing. i dont feel like a tourist anymore. which is good...but bad cuz i get complacent. i think i know everything there is to know about london, even though i havent even seen the half of it. yesterday i made a list of some of the things i wanna do (mostly including shopping haha) and i wanna keep adding to that list. granted, some things im saving until mom comes (like the london eye and westminster abbey) but there is so much more to do! ... :) i gotta get on that.
