So This Is The New Year...

It seems as if the afternoons here go by  so fast and slow at the same time.  I sat at Tiki Cafe for a bit today researching places to buy hair straighteners.  Waste of time.  My attempt at using my hair straightener through the voltage converter has been a complete fail so far.  I finally gave in and bought a UK straighter that is complete shit.  It will just have to do for now.. curly hair won't be an option in this frizz inducing weather.
I headed to Oxford Circus station to meet up with Jon and Sarah.  I knew I would be extremely happy once they got there, but seeing their smiling faces was one of the best feelings ever.  It was SO nice to see them.  We wandered around for a bit before deciding on a restaurant for dinner.  We stumbled upon an Italian restaurant called Stef’s.  The meals were a bit pricey, but well worth it.  It was easily the best food I’ve had the entire trip.  I don’t really remember what I ordered... hopefully the pictures justify it enough.  YUM! 

I parted ways with them to head to HMV Forum for Mumford & Sons. On my tube ride heading up to Kentish Town I found a group of 5 guys playing charades.  They were hilarious so I befriended them.  I guess one plus of traveling alone is you're forced to make friends.  Unless you're ok with not having any human interaction.  They were headed to the forum as well, so I stuck with them for a majority of the night.  

When the clock hit midnight confetti fluttered throughout the entire room and HUGE balloons were being bounced around.  I felt like I was in a movie of some sort.  Everything here seems so unreal though. 

I walked outside to get some fresh air, and as if everything inside wasn’t amazing enough, it was snowing.   Met a few other friendly people that I spend the rest of my night with.  Headed to one of their flats for a bit before heading back to Kentish Town, eventually taking the tube back to my hotel.  Up until 6 am again.  I’ve never been so restless in my life. 

I’ve yet to make any new year’s resolutions.  Proud to say I have accomplished all 3 resolutions that I made last year.  I’m very happy with myself.  I think this years resolutions will have to have some deep thought to them.  Hope all of my loved friends and family brought in the new year with a bang.
