Packages, Portobello Road, and Kinky Boots

It came it came!!! The first instalment of what I hope will be very many packages full of good ol’ American TV DVDs has finally arrived! I went to the post office this morning on my way to work to pick up my package and I nearly had to bribe the guy to give it to me as the post office portion of the store didn’t technically open until 9:00, but he was really nice and gave it to me anyway.

I haven’t opened it yet, but I saw on the customs form that there is peanut butter inside…Mom, I love you!

The bus was freezing cold, which wasn’t too bad since I was so happy to not be sweating for the first time in days. Sleeping was impossible because we were right behind the driver and he kept us up with his music and conversation. It was wretched, and when we got in the next morning at about 7am I swore nothing could have been worse. Oh, how naive I was.
