London!

I'm here :D The flight was delayed taking off - apparently there was a miscommunication with the pilots so they were late. But, once they got there, we took off. We actually got food - it was rather average but I can't remember the last time planes actually gave out food so it was exciting. The lady in front of me pushed back her seat and I was getting ready to be annoyed when I saw that the lady behind me was passed out. Figuring that she wouldn't mind, I pushed my seat back as well. It helped, even if it was only an illusion, but it also helped me sleep so that was nice.
I made it to the Res Hall just fine, and when I checked in the man told me that I was only going to be in this room for the night. With this in mind, I didn't unpack and organise everything. However, when I went back down to check out of this room and into my more permanent one, I was told that I was going to be in this room for the next seven weeks. Imagine that. So now I've unpacked and bought my towels and an applicable travel adaptor. My mom and I went to Best Buy on Saturday to get one and the guy said that it would work in the UK. He was wrong. So last night I had a laptop, iPod and 2 phones but only one of the phones had any battery left or could be charged. It was interesting.
When I opened my duffle bag, I saw a paper that hadn't been in there before. Evidently the TSA decided to physically search my bag. I commend whoever unpacked and repacked that bugger, I had a hard enough time :]
When I got in, I pretty much just dumped my stuff and went out walking along Kings Road. I like Kings Road - there's so much going on and it's fun to walk along. I found a restaurant that I had read about - Chelsea Bun - and had some lunch. It was yummy :] I walked back on the other side of the street and bought my new phone and found another restaurant I had read about - Buona Sera. I glanced inside, the tables are supposed to be on a bunch of different levels. (Mom - there's stairs to go up)
I was out on a quest to find a rain jacket - of course I left mine at home and it was raining. Evidently it's a harder quest than I thought, I didn't see any. So I returned to my room and sat for a bit, deciding what to do. I was really tired, but I knew that I shouldn't take a nap - it was only 5. However, instead of continuing to explore I decided that I was too tired to appreciate any more, so I read a bunch of stuff in my room and started a list of things I need to get. It was productive enough for a rainy, jet-lagged day.
Today there's going to be a walking tour of the area. I think I'll go get a shirt I saw in a store yesterday before I go on the tour and, if it doesn't go to the Thames, I'm definitely walking down there after.
Till later then,
