36kg Luggage....

Sunday 8th June

Today involved me walking around Bethesda, the area I live in, with my oakleys and my ipod. Feeling like I had tons of "fake" money (American dollars don't feel like real money just yet, after all, my spending money just doubled from pounds to dollars) I had to go and buy frivolous things such as a journal and a krispy kreme. The town is lovely and the house is gorgeous. Everyone is being so kind and generous. We all went to a local BBQ and met the other interns in our local area. I got to know my family a good bit better and feel that I'll really get on well with them. The rest of the day was spent unpacking my 36 kg suitcase (take note: the limit was 23kg) Mine was the heaviest out of the whole WIP team...but what can I say....I had to bring my 5 tubs of hair gel, dvds, laptop, 4 pair of shoes (I've been accused of being high maintance...I disagree...ahem) and other things such as jumpers and hoodies, now what was I thinking bringing jumpers in thsi heat??????? Believe me when I say the less clothes the better, this is not for reasons you might think but actually with the humidity over here if I could get away with walking around D.C in my floral print swimming shorts instead of a suit.....I would!!!!
