Finally Here

Well, after many restless hours on an airplane, I am finally here. Hello London, nice to see you again! The plane rides were fine. I read Northanger Abbey most of the way and was thoroughly entertained. Maybe I enjoyed it because I connect with the main character, Catherine’s personality so much. Or maybe I just like the way Jane Austen portrays a young girl and her excitement over her crush so well. It could also be the fact that a lot of the story is set in Bath and London is discussed many times. So I think I felt more connected to the book seeing as I would soon be there as well. But I probably loved it so much just because it betrays such real life situations. Everything in it is realistic and I feel as though I have been through similar circumstances. Anyway, all in all everything worked out good. All of the walking and bending my knee in the airplane was a bit tough on my knee, but I’m alive! :) I have unpacked and met some of the girls and they all seem great. I just got back from a little walk around the streets where I will be living. I bought some groceries for the weekend and people watched as I limped down the street eating my apple. I am perfectly happy.
