The Journey has Ended
I am really trying to figure out why I don't seem to want to go out into the city anymore.Like, I sit down with my "london for dummies" book (which, by the way, is educational) and look for stuff I haven't done. I say oh, I'll go to the Victoria and Albert mueum-but why when I have been the National Gallery, Courtald, and the Tate Modern AND the National Portrait Gallery. That is 4 museums folks. That is more than enough. I love museums, don't get me wrong...but if you've seen one muesum...you've probably seen them all.
Isn't that the gist of London? If you've been to Leicester sq, Tottenham, Oxford St, Charing Cross, Trafalgar sq. it all the same to me now- it's all right there....and how many times have I been there? A lot.
I have also been to many places outside of London, Hampton Court, Windsor, Eton, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick Castle, Bath, Cambridge....what else am I supposed to see? I think I am really weary of it all now. But I have to watch my phrasing around those at home to make sure that I don't get crap from them saying"Take advantage of it all!" We'll I have been, and my bank account is just about depleted. Sure, there are about 9 more things I should do, simply because many people do when they come here:
1.) Shakspeare's Globe, London Aquarium, St. Pauls (where Charles and Diana got married) etc..but all that shit costs money...and the only thing I really feel like spening money on is transportation and food. That's it. And with Paris coming up, we are talking more euros to spend on the Tour Effel, Norte Dame....etc....so, yes. I think I am weary. The people I know back home don't understand what it really feels like to live somewhere for 5 mos...sometimes the adventure just reaches its limit....and the journey ends.
I have been playing around with the idea of staying until June 3rd. But, by then, I'd probbaly shoot myself, and besides....that is just more money being spent needlessly. But, I wanted to cop out so that I wouldn't have to decided. At least last night I was too annoyed to be sad about leaving as it looks as if I will have to be on the tube at 630 am to make the 930 flights that abound in the am the week of the 23.....
:sighs:
I am sure months from now, I'll look back and think "shit, that was the good life!" but, right now...these crappy papers and lack of motivation/weariness of London is getting to me...
