I cannot believe that I paid 25 pounds for a skirt yesterday at Zara. I must really be ignoring the conversion rate. Once you stop converting here, life becomes a lot easier. Sure, you're still spending a fortune because it's about $1.80 to a pound, but at least you feel better about it.

I couldn't be happier.

So even though I went to bed at 3 AM last night, i was out of bed by 10:30. Can we say heinous? I couldn't lay in bed any longer and trick my body into going back to sleep, so I started taking notes and outlining my essay that's due on friday. I actually made a bit of progress, so I am pleased with myself. Then Emma messaged me and wanted to go to brunch, so we headed on over to the lovely JMC. I had a salad which was pretty good. That is going to be my staple from now on. It's one of the few foods there that I can eat without feeling bad and know it's healthy. Thank god. We sat there for over an our and was joined by another girl that Emma knew, and talked about the most ridiculous things. As usual. Our breakfast conversations are always high class and stimulating. It's nice to have friends here. I don't know how i did it my first two weeks here, when I was still getting to know everyone. I think that's the hardest part of the transition. Making friends.

And now, I am going to continue essaying. My eyes are so tired that I want to just lie down, but I want to get through this article. I have to have dinner with family friends that I've never met before around six. Long story, will explain it later. The thought of making myself presentable just hurts.
