Quick Update

So today is my third-to-last night in the W14. My lease expires Friday and I decided not to renew in favor of cheaper and more convenient digs. And by cheaper I mean a quarter of the rent, and by convenient I mean to work. I am still waiting to get official word on when my last day is, either February 22 or March 28. Either way, the new place is flexible and cuts my commute from an hour to 12 minutes each way. The only down side is I will have some roommates, but they seem nice and responsible. And did I mention I'll be paying a quarter of the rent and the tube-free commute will only be a fifth compared to my current place? Let me just run some quick cost-benefit analysis, and yep, it's better. In fact, the never having to rely on the tube might be worth it alone.

So the movers come Thursday to send my 78 cubic feet of goods back to America, and Friday I take my 2 suit cases plus laptop bag up to the UB8 for the duration of my time here in England. More reflective thoughts to come, I'm sure, as I wind down here and start thinking about repatriation.
