I'm Afraid I Have No Pictures To Show Because I Have No Camera

So I'm in Lakeland now, I'm semi-situated. It is very interesting showing up in a town that you have been absent from for so long and trying to get back in to it. Sure, I don't have the plethora of friends that I used to have, but I do have a handful and I am very thankful. 

I'm living on the floor of a mates room. It's not even a flat, it's just a room. and on top of that he's paying $400 (£220) for it. He's really getting screwed, but that's his thing. I'm have a weird time here so far. My mate Jon and I have had some really good talks that I think have been very productive. I also have been very productive and I blame it on the time difference. I can't really sleep much past 8 or 9 because it's 1 or 2 in my brain. So i have gotten a lot of things done. 

Well, Ian, what have you gotten done?

I'm glad you asked. I spent most of the day trying to find a place to stay, which is going great because I might be moving into a place tonight until the 14th and then I'll be moving into another house more permanent. which is all great. I need to look into getting a cycle now. Gas is about $4 a gallon here. Which is plenty. So I'll have to cut back on riding to almost nothing. So that's why I want a cycle. I also am going to go get a haircut today. I wanted to shave it, but then it will take forever to grow, so I'm just going to get it cut really short so it won't be like nothing is there. 

I'm really seeing God provide for me while I am here. He's bringing things together out of nothing. I still really miss Edinburgh. Things here aren't very pretty. there is nothing to look at. There are no hills or rivers or old buildings. 

I turned my £'s into $'s today and that was sad. I wanted to hold onto those. They gave me a rate of $1.86 to £1.00. Not as much as I wanted, but It'll do. At least I'll be able to spend it, right?

I also filled out an application for Starbucks. Now before you say anything, I didn't ask for it. They gave it to me. I was chatting up the girl at the till and she came over and handed me an application a bit later. I filled it out and they asked me to come back to their job fair on the 10th. So I have until then to find a better one. Or ANY other job that is not Starbucks. It's only for a day job anyway. I've got other things. I just want to make as much money as I can this summer because come Autumn there will be a few expenses on the table. 

That's my life at the moment. Hopefully there is something interesting in there. If not, thanks for reading anyway.
