Back on GMT

After a mere sixteen hours of travel, and over twenty-four hours of being awake, I'm now back in the UK! And I must have brought the sunshine with me, because the weather in Cambridge has been abnormally awesome the past few days. It's a bit brisk in the evenings, but today I actually felt warm in a light long-sleeve shirt. Crazy! I expected to freeze, especially coming from 103°F (a.k.a. 39.5°C). But no, really, it's been very pleasant.

I also had a lovely evening with a fellow expat, Sam (of the Duchess of Nowhere blog!) my first night in. I didn't want to take a nap, because I'm trying to get on a GMT schedule, so somehow I managed to power through from a 9 a.m. arrival all the way to drinks at the pub in the evening with the boyfriend (Ben), Sam, and Ben's flatmates. Of course, I had a long, long lie-in the next morning, but I'm getting there!

It does feel a bit like a holiday still, as I'm in Cambridge for the next few days before moving down to West Sussex (Chichester) where my course will be. But I can't complain - this is probably my favorite (favourite ;P) city in the world, so far as my travel knowledge takes me, so being amongst the colleges and greens along the Cam doesn't bother me one bit. I will take advantage of it while I can!
