$up,
The past couple of days have been super hectic and an emotional roller coaster ride. I moved to London on Tuesday. Even though it's only been a couple days it's felt like weeks. I know I just touched on the move in the last post, so I guess I could go more in to detail. For some reason I can jam more things in one hour over here then back home in America. I have had ups and downs, but each day the downs have gotten less and less. Today I actually didn't really feel upset or home sick which is really cool. It is fairly lonely though, because I have yet to meet some people my age or people that are going to go to my school. I met some really nice younger kids yesterday and they invited me to a surprise party in one of the dorms. Even though I am only 2 years older than most of the people here I still feel a little too old to do some of the stuff they are doing. I think reading this back, it sounds really strange. They all went to a club last night part of this thing called freshers week, which I think is like Greek Week at big name universities but for the UK. It just doesn't really sound like my scene, I'm not saying that I don't like going to clubs or anything because I do, but something about sweaty bros and girls wearing clothing that is really inconvenient for the weather drunk out of their mind dancing to techno music doesn't really sound like something I wanna be a part of. Where is the underground stuff? Thats what I am after, I wanna go to some cool shows or areas. Today one of my Aunts friends, Mel, showed me around an up and coming area. We walked around for I think 2 hours, and it was super nice, she is really welcoming and friendly. I am really happy that I got to meet her, she really showed me a lot today. I can't wait till more people move in so I can meet more people. The dorm is only half full its divided into 4 different blocks, block B is where everyone is living right now because they are all going to Central St. Martins and they start school on Monday. School for me starts on September 24th, so I still have a while to wait (That's also why my block is empty).

$up,
Yesterday I went to Salvation Mountain with my mom. We both aren't religious, I don't believe in god or that Jesus is the savior or whatever, but I do believe in love. Even though this site has a lot to do with religion I think it has a whole lot more to do with love. For those of you who have never been there of have even herd of it before, Its a really beautiful mountain that has been painted by Leonard Knight in Niland, California. Niland is near to Palm desert and the Salton Sea, so needless to say, it was crazy hot (113 degrees). I don't do well in hot weather (or cold weather) but I think I held it together pretty well. Going to Salvation Mountain was such a wonderful experience and I was so happy to go with my mom. We hiked to the top, and explored in all the little caves and rooms. It is an experience I will never forget and always cherish.


Music-Because- The Beatles, I love this song, and it feels right with these pictures. The video I thought was kind of interesting.
