With the inauguration nearing, I've been familiarising myself with the presidents of the United States. I've learned that Glover Cleveland was the only president to leave the white house only to return to it four years later! Fascinating.
I also went to see Valkirie yesterday, the film with Tom Cruise based on the last coup attempt to overthrow Hitler before his suicide. It was quite enjoyable. Went to a shisha bar afterwards in the Georgetown area where most univeristy students tend to hang out. The place reminds me of the little streets in Soho and Green Park, very trendy in a non-American way.
I'm still waiting for my apartment to become available, it really is past testing my patience now the place was meant to be evacuated by Jan the 1st! They're aslo still processing my SSN and therefore all other procedures are on hold!
In my struggle to not delve into a state of depression I've been increasingly finding comfort in American doughnots, and as a consequence growing closer to clinical obesity! with no functioning gym in sight I am out of depth here. HELP!
Other than that the euphoric state of bliss that DC has put me in lingers on (funnily enough lol)!
I've met some nice and very hospitable few people who've become my backbone in the quest to get to know DC and consequently very good friends of mine in a short space of time. Am I lucky or what?!
