I'm starting to feel a bit run down, probably from the huge change in my routine and the fact that I haven't really started my project yet because I have to run all over the whole damn city trying to get everything set up. It's all a nightmare from getting keycard access to work and dorm, financial confusion, getting in the NHS, getting paid for all the work I did today, getting a bank account, it's all a total waste of time and energy, yet I have to go through it (and not just once for each line item, nooooo repeatedly!) And because I can't get paid, I can't afford to take the bus, so I'm straight up exhausted from hiking all over with all my stuff.

I know, whine whine whine. When it comes down to it, I just really miss my friends and being able to talk to them, that's all. I am getting very lonely here.

But a friend did cheer me up with this:
I feel as if I've been running around like a 2 quid whore on quid night.

(He adapted from dollars to quid just for me.)
