Yesterday I spent pretty much all day running around trying to find lodging. I went to the STA Travel office in High Street Kensington and the guy there was incredibly nice and helpful--definitely should have gone sooner and saved the headache. It took a couple trips back and forth but we finally got it worked out, which was a relief. Not exactly how I wanted to spend my last day in Kensington, but that's what I get for waiting until the last minute.
The crew wanted to find a pub called Shakespeare's Head (for obvious reasons), so we trekked out to Oxford Circus to do so. Of course, when we got there it was packed, so Nicole and I got burgers at the most DELICIOUS place, because we were starving, and then met everyone else who had gone to O'Neills, our favorite Irish bar. Then we came back and hung out in the other flat until the wee hours of night, reminiscing and wishing it would never end. I kept feeling like I had something to do, like a paper or reading or something like that. But nope, I'm all done.
The next three days should definitely be more of an adventure than I've had so far. I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to update much, but here's hoping. Here's also hoping that everything goes according to plan with my hostel and the place isn't completely disgusting or sketchy (this is my first time ever staying in a hostel, so we'll see how it goes). At least I'm in an all-girls room. And I am SO THANKFUL that Nicole is letting me stay with her, I seriously do not know what I would have done. But hey, it all worked out.
Farewell, Kensington! I'll miss you!
