My first drizzle in the uk

Yeah from the heading it may seem that i have never seen a drizzle before ehh. But i must tell you i am more of a sunshine person than a rain one. That is going to be a struggle for me here since everywhere i go people tell me 'ohh it is always wet in the UK, rain always falling, no sunshine'.

Well after three lovely days of sunshine it was soo horrid to see that i woke up to a very cold, wet and gloomy day. Well i spent all of it in doors between emailing my school to try and sort out stuff and talking to friends. Felt good when KAy called me and we chatted.

I then ate, took pictures of Elad who is obssessed with pictures more than i am. Then i went for a little nap. Bad idea because now i will be up all night. Tomorrow is my bday. It will be my first bday out of jamica since 2001. I am looking forward to it. I am trying to plan a night out with Thals, it is now after 9pm and i havent confirmed with her i am sure she cussing me.

Anyway looking forward to all the calls from my peeps. and even a little card in the mail when i reach school.

my trip to the mall

So now i decided to visit argos which is 3 mins drive from where i am staying to buy my b'day present which was an arm and a leg camera but worth it to capture all my moments here in the uk.

Anyway lugging wid some other things i bought to catch the bus and deciding to form a queue cause me a learn, this woman from nowhere a try push in front of me.....a caucasian woman to be precise. True she never heard of me.......me come from the land weh we nuh form queue, mi just give her a dutty look and move mi body to the left to block her from coming in front of me.......'Brite'!!

anyway got home good and decided to test out the camera wid elad and keleisha. it was fun. going on the road later to london to some jazz thing. Trying to acquire some culture and class.

sun again and british linguistics

Today was a bright and sunny day. in fact i hand wash some stuff and put it on the line to dry hmmmmmmmmmm we will see howlong it takes.But mi nah lie it did hot i had to leave the coat and wore a merina and a long warm top wid mi jeans and boot.

anyway went to currys and comet electronic stores to get my webcam and my converter so i can soon hook up my laptop and my peeps can see me live and direct.

anyway found out that the british accent is very funny and i soon have to buy one. imagine went on a bus and ask aman if he knows where oakhurts road is and the driver and no one seems to understand what mi saying. i went to the store and had to almost be signing stuff. anyway....emmmm . but the slangs are different. e.g. emmmmm (that is one slang) like emmm mi trousers as opposed to jeans. Mi pants as opposed to mi underwear. Mi fizzy drink as opposed to soda. A flat as opposed to an apartment. (now watch mi looking real close when my friend said ohh that is my flat i use to live in.....emmm i am like huh. i expect to see a flat looking house not an apartment.

any how i am still learning. emmm like pullover as opposed to a bloody shirt. emmmm a tele as opposed a emmm a tv. anyway cheerios folks gonna check some email and watch as the clock ticks away. mi soon nuh have some much time on my hands. anway planning atrip to switzerland as soon as i settle in and visit mybatch mate who is there.
