What’s up my dudes. I’ve been M.I.A, I know. A lot of things have changed since we last talked. I’m not vegan anymore, which is probably the biggest change; it’s been better for me mentally. No shade for the lifestyle, I still love what it stands for, I just truly could not handle it mentally in my life. The slightly less intense change is that I’m not blonde anymore either. Not as big of a deal but it feels like I’m growing up, even if that sounds stupid. Another change (apparently a lot of things have changed in my life) is that I’m two weeks into a 13-week stay in central London for school. I’m currently studying at a school in central London for the Fall Semester and it’s been incredible so far, even if classes only just started Monday. Structurally, it’s waaaaay different from what I’ve ever experienced. For starters, I’m only taking 4 classes this term so I only have 12 hours of class a week. I’m also living in communal housing for the first time since I went to camp when I was 14. I am feeling ##blessed that I’ve had my own bathroom thus far. Lastly, and probably the most intense difference for me, is the dining/eating schedule here. Unlike in NY / when I’m home where I can eat whenever I want and create whatever schedule I want, there are very distinct hours that I have to follow here. The cafeteria is only open from 8-10:30, 12-2, and 5-7. This is the first time where I have to follow an eating pattern since high school and even that wasn’t as distinct as this. It’s been hard adjusting here, honestly. Not because I miss home (pce out america) but because I’ve never been around so many people in such incredible shape but also with such incredible wealth. It’s a humbling experience, truly. It’s also very self-reflective. It’s weird man, I don’t know.
