0.00 Longitude and Green

"The sun visits often these days,
I float from one thing to the next,
With no care for consequence,
I jump through pictures in a frame,
No memory lost or gained,
Life is a tree, still in wind and rain" ---ME


The last weekend was extremely fun, the Drama Queen went to Greenwich. Its a quaint little town with tiny cafes and pubs. It was a trip down memory lane as I stayed with a bunch of students in a university dorm. Spent my night in a sleeping bag on the floor. Watched movies that only aid to mind fucking. The fastest ship in the world (during the 1820s) the Cutty Sark is docked there. Was interesting. The oldest watch/time shop in the world sits at a tiny corner of a narrow street. Time was institutionalized here. Come to think of it seemed to pass quite easily while I was there. The reference for the times zones all around the world was here. I was at the beginning of time. Where it starts.
Anyway, so the trip was planned in order to catch up with an old friend and get my schengen visa sorted out. But alas! there was always the drama. On the day of the visa application her highness forgot to take along very crucial documents. So the night before and the morning during the application was spent stressing and fretting over what could happen and all the things that would go wrong. However, in the end it worked out fine... How i love fax machines :) ...
In other events, I met an interesting Norwegian student, who I thought was showing interest in my existence. But as it turned out, that was a one night only performance. Lovely intellectually stimulating conversations for one night and that was the end of it...haha... story of my life.
So now its back to reality...I have about two assignments hanging over my tiny, grey-cell-less head which need to be completed by this weekend. And I am doing just about everything from cooking to cleaning to laundry in order to avoid having to finish my work. Oh! and there is kick boxing class to look forward to today.
Amongst other news, I go home in a week!!..I am sure that will be an eventful experience since I chose to arrive on the day of the festival of colours.

Wonder whats up ahead next.

Greenwich is surely a paradise with its rolling lawns and idyllic hill and all the History behind it.
As a coincidence, I too had been to Greenwich the same weekend :-)
