Of course...

So I just spent a while writing one of these blogs on my computer, but it won't let me post it. So I’m at the library and I’m not about to rewrite everything...so this might be shorter...sorry. Just read Jason's. He does a much better job keeping it updated.

All I have to say is that I am the master of London...lol. Atleast Team Flamingo is. WE WON the scavenger hunt!!! LOL....for quite a price though. It started at noon and ended at 6pm. My team was very determined to win which means that we walked at a more than steady pace most of the time. You can generally walk a mile in about 15 minutes....so just do the math and you can figure out how much I walked. Needless to say I’m still tired today.
And I’m sick. And I haven't slept for more than 3hours in a row. Except last night...but I took sleeping pills and I walked all day. But I only got 5 1/2 hours of sleep because I had my interview at 9 and didn't want to be late.
But other than that London is great. I bought my tube pass yesterday (320 dollars later). It is great. It is free access to all the tubes and busses.
I thought I was going to starve...but the food really isn't that bad. If I starve it is because I can't afford to eat! hahah. I also realized people in Europe aren't skinny because of the food, they are skinny because you walk everywhere.

The weather has been stereotypical of London. Rainy, windy and cold. Yesterday was beautiful though. Sunny for the most part. It can rain one minute and be completely sunny the next. You never know. You just leave to always bring an umbrella because you will use it at some point during the day.
So Brandi informed me yesterday that we were approved for our apartment. Yay...I won't be homeless come August. That is a load off my back. Now....to find a job to pay for the apartment....haha.

Anyways, I hope all is well with everyone. My computer really doesn't work at all with the internet service. I am at the library right now and they limit you to 60 minutes a day and only 300 minutes a week...odd. Anyways, now that I have a membership I will come here much more often so hopefully I can update more. Plus, no one wants to go to the library so I know I can always come here to be alone!! haha.
Thanks for all your support and love.
Sincerely,
Alissa

It is great to hear how you are doing. I hope your interview went well. Stay safe and have fun. I hope your feeling better. Maybe we should get rid of our cars and walk more. It would save us on gas and trim our waistline...lol. God knows I need that... Miss you and love you. Love, Aunt Eve
