Yeah, I'm off to Germany in 19 days. The temperatures where I'm going seem to be hovering around the 0-5 degree mark in the next 10 days or so.

I want to go to England too! What is the purpose of your trip? Are you going to study or what?

People were right, it's been getting colder! Grr! But at least I'm used to the weather now. There is kinda a novelty factor to having to rug up and wear multiple layers... but the novelty is wearing off lol.

But England is pretty awesome, lots to do etc. The exchange rate is an absolute killer though.

I am going in March...i was meant to be working in the US for 12 months as and Au Pair but reeally hated the social side of it...well lack of it! So i stayed with the family for 1 1/2 months until i just couldn't stand it any longer. Luckly i have rellies in the Us so i have changed my visa and am travelling. I hadn't intended on going to England as i went there last year, but thought if i am this close and the flights are so cheap there i might as well go n see my rellies.

I'm on the Metropolitan Line.... Northwick Park/Harrow-on-the-hill. If you are bored I won't be doing much on Friday and Saturday I don't think.... you could come to my uni bar, pound a pint night is tomorrow, it's top stuff lol. Harrow is not a very exciting place.

Which end you at... Cockfosters or Hatton Cross/Heathrow?
