So far everything has been amazing here at White Lodge. I've completely settled in to the routine of work I have. Each day is pretty relaxed but there is plenty to keep me occupied.
I went into Sheen today (as it was my day off) and bought a few bits and pieces. Sebastian left the Gap student's bike at Mortlake station and I had the brilliant idea to just "pop down" and get it....little did I know it was going to be such an ordeal.....
I got to the station an there were millions of bikes there!! Sebastian told me it was black and orange so I began my search for a black and orange bike, but was not successful. People probably thought I was looking for a bike to steal! Very suspicious. I then had a few phone calls back and forth with Suzanne at reception and with Sebastian. Eventually I found the bike......it was silver.....
I rode it back to find the reception staff laughing their heads off about this little ordeal. It was quite funny!
I've been talking to Suzanne a lot recently. She offered to see a movie on any weekend which is nice. I can't imagine going to the cinema alone for some reason....what would you do with your popcorn if you needed the toilet during the movie?? If you left it in the cinema it would be a bit odd and someone might take it, but it would be very strange to take it to the toilet with you!! I might take her up on the offer. I'd love to see a movie some time as there are a lot of good ones out at the moment.
Other than these little anecdotes from around White Lodge, nothing much has happened here. It's quite a stressful time for the students as they have appraisals next week.
I've been a bit homesick lately, but I've been managing it quite well. I suppose it would happen eventually, so I'm a bit glad I'm going though it now rather than when I first arrived.
Anyways.....not much else to say at the moment....just living it up in London!!!
"Live your life to the fullest"........I know I certainly am :)
Yes Jack, the bicycle debacle certainly was funny from the reception end of the telephone conversation. Lost in translation springs to mind!
