Hello!
So I've not posted in a reallllllllly long time... oops.
This will be a short one to just recount something I found hilarious.
Whilst I was buying something in a shop on campus the other day, I got chatting to the guy who was serving me, when he asked where I lived and he realised it wasn't on campus (having to get the bus everyday to university seems unusual to some people here?!) he was like:
"Oh, so do a lot of foreigners live there?"
At first I was like, "foreigner?"
To which he looked at me like I was a right goof.
Then I remembered...I am a foreigner!
I took this slow response to be a good sign, interpreting that since I've settled in here I forgot for a moment that this wasn't England.
Of course there are a number of things I definitely miss about England, but I found this mishap of mine hilarious, and also nice to recognise my enjoyment at how smoothly and fun things are going!
