American in London

Wednesday 12 October 2005

Well, it's a typical Autumn day here in Sunny ol' England.  And that's sarcasm because typical fall means damp and rainy.  I am actually knackered, as the Brits say.  I worked at an event all day serving lunch to a bunch of Marks and Spencer (the grocery chain) managers at their annual Christmas conference to get them all pumped up for the Christmas season.  Then the trip home took forever and I was yelled at by a crabby underground worker and now I'm finally home and no one has sent me any nice emails today.  How depressing.  Really, gone four months and no one thinks of me.  (insert guit trip here...)

That sounds depressing, but all in all, I'm actually very good.  This time next week I will be enjoying myself with Anna in the Scottish Highlands.  I am so looking forward to her visit and particularly the trip to Scotland!  I just booked a three day tour and I think we will stay on an extra day in Edinburgh.  Next week I will have so much more to write about!

Other than that I am working, spending some time with friends and with Karlen.  Things are going swimmingly in the relationship department.  I really have very little to complain about and what there is to complain about is hardly worth mentioning.  For those of you who don't know, Karlen is my South African boyfriend.  Officially.  I have been asked for some more specific details, but I'll just give you an outline here.  We met because we are living in the same flat-share, but not cohabitating just to clarify.  For him it was love at first sight :-), but to be honest, it didn't take me much longer.  He is from Durban, South Africa, 23 and a law student.  He has been working in London and travelling since last fall, but is going back to South Africa to finish law school.  Hopes to become an international diplomat.  This sounds a bit like a resume, but I will add this interesting fact that he is Indian by nationality but has never been to India.  Apparently, and maybe you knew this but I did not and thus felt uneducated, South Africa has a large population of Indians.   Anyway, his dad is a journalist and mom is a teacher and I'm sure they must be really great, because they seem to have done an excellent job of raising him.  He treats me as I should be treated, like a princess, but one who isn't necessarily too spoilt. 

That's all for now.  Email me!
