a home!

Jed and I decided to rent the house on Selwyn Road. I'm moving in on Monday and Jed's moving in on December 30th. I feel like the only thing that I post about on this blog is where I'm living/not living. I'll post some pictures of it once I've moved in.

Commuting is going fine. I cycle to the rail station, 30 min. Wait for train, 10 min. It's always packed and you have to assert yourself in order to get a seat. The train ride is 1 hr. Then I take the Tube three stops and walk about 10 minutes to my office. Usually every trip something goes not exactly to plan. Example: I'm on the train and then an announcement comes on and says that we'll be delayed b/c a car has run into a bridge that we have to cross and engineers have to check it before we pass. Or--Baker Street is closed due to fire so I have to get off at Great Portland Street and take a bus. Or--it's raining like mad, not English rain, America rain, and I have to push my bike rather than cycle. (I'm still getting used to cycling).

Last week I read a novel that was written as an autobiography from 2 conjoined twins. Jed though that I was a little sick for reading a book like that, but I actually really enjoyed it. They had a great bond as sisters and completely took care of the other one. I know that it is really sad for people to live conjoined. I'll have to read some of the books that people suggested to me.
