We got lost. We got really really lost at 3 am in London last night. The buses are the most confusing thing ever invented and I hate them. Hate them. So here is the short version...We went to meet up with our friend from school last night in Tottenham Court and went to a club. We paid way to mush to get in the club, but we ended up having a great time dancing all night! Around 2 am, when we decided to go home, the night took a turn for the worse! We figured we needed to figure this night bus situation out eventually since the tubes shut down at midnight and we want to stay out later soo...we tried. We failed miserably. Took a bus way far north in a not so good part of town, got a very heated argument with a not so nice man while waiting for a bus back the other direction to where we started. He said some very inappropriate things..that I will not repeat! Then we finally got back where we started, took a random bus we weren't very sure about and it took us about 2 miles away from our flat. Then we started walking in the wrong direction before giving up and taking a cab home! At almost 4:30 am. It took us 2 and 1/2 hours to get home via bus system. The sun was coming up when we finally went to bed...so sad.
Recap: Tube system=good; Bus system=bad bad bad
Needless to say, I will be studying that map the next time I decide to stay out..stupid buses. But anyway, Yesterday during the day was awesome! Me and all the roomies + danna went to Portabello Rd (second time for me and just as fantastic!). Acutally, my two roomies, Jen and Kaylin saw Chris Rock there walking around. So fun, wish I'd seen him too. Anyway..it was a great morning full of amazing food and successul shopping. Best kind of day minus the buses situation! ;)
Anyway, the week has been great otherwise...and today I got to hang out with my friend Ben who works in Cambridge here as a lawyer! He brought his friend out to lunch with us and we went to a couple pubs and he helped me track down where I will be working in Ealing! Such a cute little town, adorabel little buildings, and great pubs and shops. I've got my interview tomorrow at 11 with Huge Design and I'm definitely a little nervous but I think I'll be ok! Miss yall!

Ok, I won't be reading this blog to Grandma! Way too scary, bordering on my worst nightmare. Men at bus stops after 2am are rarely "nice". Until you get the hang of the buses, you should brush up on your marshall arts. Or better yet, do they sell pepper spray there? Buy some for your purse. Even better, spring for the Cab sooner. (hmm....street fight or Cab fare?) Cabbies in London have to pass a test on street knowledge before they can get a license. It is a maze of a town. Cab system = Very Good. OOOxxOOOO
I know Grace...don't read this one to Grandma...might be a little worried about me. haha...but i can't get pepper spray. It's like considered a weapon here and I could get arrested so noooo pepper spray for me! I'll learn the marshall arts though and just work out and learn to run very very fast i suppose! No more buses for me for awhile...no no fun! Love you and miss you Grace!
