Today did not start off too well (sleepy, couldn't find my card key to my building, had no breakfast food in the house etc...) BUT it's amazing how a day can turn around. Not only did I find my key card later in the day before having to buy a new one, but I checked my mail and had TWO special deliveries!!!
So today I am very thankful for snail mail and tapas. While e-mails and blogs (clearly) are great ways of spreading information (and increasingly in today's world filled with social networking, texting, and tweeting, the most accepted forms of communication), there's nothing like good old fashioned snail mail to brighten someone's day. Maybe this is my naivety in not have recieved loads of bills in the mail, or the fact that I've been dating my penpal for over two years (life lesson: when you start dating, boyfriends decide the battle is won and the penpal letters end :P ), but I simply love getting snail mail. Today I got a surprise letter from my dear friend Rrrrallison in Nashville and a Thanksgiving care package from home! Though I am convinced my mum thinks I have stopped eating since I've moved to London (maybe from my repetitive mentioning of free samples..), I am now fully equiped for Thanksgiving over here and was so happy to have such a lovely package!
After a long day of classes today, I headed out to meet up with my high school friends Liz and Francie for tapas in a charming Spanish restaurant in central London. It felt like being back in Spain and the food and company were amazing! A great way to end the evening :) Will definitely be returning to this spot!
