London day 4

So before you read this I want you to know it wasn't a great day for me. A lot of stressful things happened which lead to be being upset, which led to me having a very shitty day. So if you think this is going to be a funny post it isn't, and you might as well not read it. I just wanted to warn you! 

I was up at 6:30 this morning for some reason, I got to meet up with Lisa which was great! We spent 3 hours talking and I got a lot of information. I am a little stressed from the conversation because I thought I could do a lot of the stuff I needed to get done in the UK, actually in the UK! (Bank account, UK cell phone, travellers pre paid card, etc) but turns out a lot of stuff needed to happen back in Canada. It isn't impossible, I can get it done it is just going to take more time. But again just makes me more stressed. 

It rained all day today and although I love the rain and was excited to whip out my umbrella for the first time, however since I had woke up all I could think about for some reason was my mom. When I talked to Lisa it was good but then waking home it was a 50 minute walk with just me the rain and my thoughts. And because my talk lead me to being very stressed and down on myself, all I wanted was my mom there to talk to. 

It just frustrates me too that it's only day 4 and I'm missing people already. Because I know I need to find a way to deal with it. I really hope that it's just because it's my first few days, I don't have any friends or even many people to talk to for that matter. I don't have a job to occupy myself with, etc. and the fact that I went from a town of 1800, to a city of more than 7 million. And because I don't have a job all I have right now is spare time so all I do right now is think and miss back home. 

My lovely mother got me more contacts here in London that I can hopefully meet up with soon! My mom is the best. 

It was nice seeing Lisa because she took me to central London and though we didn't do any sightseeing I got to see a lot more buildings and "London" than what I'm seeing now. I rode the tube for the first time and it was easy enough, but I rode 1 tube, there are dozens and dozens more, some that you have to get off to, to connect with another one aaand again just a little stressed. I'm hoping today goes better (I didn't write last night because like I said I wasn't having a good day so I just went to bed) so it's 6:30 now again and hopefully I can get out and do some new stuff! 

I had always wanted to be a story teller and when I return I will be able to just that with all the travelling I have done. I have been told that no story exists without some ups and downs. No real story that is. I was told today by my lovely auntie that stories are boring if they don't have rough times, because then they don't seem real.
