I've spent this past week racing around sorting out things for my holiday, friends relationships and also for my birthday party, but the past 2 days I've spent on trains and tubes going to and from London and now I remember how much I love London!
From the moment I set foot on Chiltern Railways train thursday morning I was instantly excited and as soon as we got into Marylebone, I was generally excited although maybe that was the insanely attractive guy that walked past as I got off the train, but as I got ono the tubes and clung to the right side of the escalator whilst tons of people pushed past I realised what I was missing out on.
After applying for FRA this september, if i don't get in and if I want to continue past level 4, I need a degree so LCF information sessions were inevitable! Thursday was only a quick trip to London as there is was so much going on at home, but TODAY was the day in London, on the first train out after 9, and at High Holborn by 11, London was craazy today especially Oxford Street as normal and Covent Garden, but that generally doesn't put me off, people rushing around pushing past and getting on with day to day things.
The hustle and bustle of London has just made me even more excited about what is around the corner, I seem to get so excited by the city and everything thats going on that is SO different, from wandering around Covent Garden, to walking through Soho in a desperate attempt to get onto Oxford Street to find one particular shop. Every part of London is so different yet feels so the same, whilst walking up the back of Oxford Street past John Princes Street and hearing a girl come out of LCF screaming down the phone saying she got a first, I was genuinely excited for her and I didn't know her, but as I walked back up Harley Street towards Marylebone the scenery changed to big town houses and expensive cars but it was still London. The only thing I struggle with is the roads and cars, I seem to get in a mixture with taxi's and buses in the middle of the road, but that will come to me :-).
Who knew a city could bring someone so much pleasure and excitement, but now off on holiday for a week with the girls, I cannot wait to get out of the country again and be able to lie on the beach and forget everything, lets just hope I don't come back with pneumonia but with a suntaaan, and everything in England sorts itself out!
