Update.

Things here in London are going pretty well. I have been working a lot and the has been rough at times, but I work with a great team who I really enjoy and who make the the work easier. It's really great to have Kate, here, too, as she is a big support for me both at work and as a friend.

I am still living at the hostel, but a lot of people who I have become close with are leaving on Monday, including one of my roommates. I think it will be a lot different and I am nervous about getting a new roommate. I have become so used to my routine and things have been working okay. I have been thinking more about moving out and am thinking about trying to find a new place by December. I am still undecided. I would almost like to wait until I hear back from the GSCC on their final decision regarding my registration. I don't know what/if anything with my job will change once that decision is made, so once I hear back, I think I will have a better idea of what the next few months will be like with work. I should hearing back from them soon.

The past couple of weekends, I have been spending time with friends from the hostel. Last weekend, we had a little party sort of thing on Friday evening, which was fun. Saturday night I went to dinner at the new flat of a girl who used to live at the hostel that was very nice. It was Guy Fawkes day last Monday, so there were all kinds of celebrations going on in the city like bonfires and fireworks. Unfortunately, I did not make it to any. Sunday evening, a bunch of us went to Russell Square and kicked the soccer ball around for a bit. It was a really nice afternoon in the park.

This weekend I am trying to spend what time I have left with the people who will be leaving. We went to a karaoke bar last night and are going to go dancing tonight, which should be fun.

This next week, I expect will be busy. I have my first Case Review Conference on Thursday, for which I need to prepare a report and present it to the Chair and other members involved in the case. I often feel very grown up doing my job and hope that it is really good experience to start off my career, wherever it takes me. Anyway, it will also be a short week, as I am going to Madrid, Spain with my friend Julie, which should be a lot of fun.
