Londinium

I still have a week of *vacation* before starting work next Monday. Though I’m excited to start work… call me crazy? Reality is that I have a week of *reacquainting myself with life in England*… I seriously feel like a foreigner here! I don’t quite speak the language, I don’t quite know where I’m going, I don’t quite have a job, I don’t quite have a coterie of friends…

I also received an email from my manager here in London inviting me to a black tie (work) event this coming Friday… guess what, I don’t quite have an outfit. I brought a long black (really tight) dress over from SF in case I’m here for a xmas party… but I’m not sure that this particular dress will be quite etiquette for a work event… plus it requires me holding my stomach in for an entire evening in front of future colleagues! Ugh!
