Breakfast for today before going to the hospital.
Wasn't a too bad first day. Tour around the school. Had to get some blood test done and Mantoux test but I just took my vaccinations before coming to the UK so I've got to wait till mid-November before I can do those tests :/ Hope i remember though.
Visited the whole hospital today. It's rather big and confusing. But it's not bad, quite a lot of people and it's pretty organized once you get the hang of it. So happy got to skype grandma and brother this morning before I left for the hospital. It sure made my day (:
Here's looking forward to more skype sessions with them and parents as soon as internet is available for them. HAPPPYYY (:
Btw, got 2 blisters on each foot due to wearing pumps and walking such a long distance today :( I need new good, comfy, non blisterish shoes :(

I stared out my window and in the blackness of night, i see a blanket of stars (:
This is what my snack was for today! Healthy right? Finally got most of the stuffs I need to cook in the flat. Got some groceries and utensils as well. So tiring carrying plastic bags up the hill to Glen Eyre (the place I'm staying in) since the bus stop in front of my place is under construction and is not operating :(
Anyways, school officially starts tomorrow though it's just going to be a tour of Southampton General Hospital and such. Hope I won't miss the 9.05am bus tomorrow! And I realized, I don't have any official formal clothes. argh!
Gotta make do with my MOST formal shirt then. Hope they won't scold me! *gulps*
Nights people. The skyline here is so beautiful. Been seeing so many stars since I came here. It's so beautiful. It's these little little things that make me smile and reminds me that God is awesome (:
