Fully immersed in England

Welp, it has happened.  I wanted to rub shoulder to shoulder with the British, I wanted to fully experience the culture.  I think this list will tell you why I am officially fully immersed into the British culture...

1.  I don't recognise an accent any more
2.  I've started to use "s" instead of "z" in words like "organisation/organization" (in America we say "z" pronounced (zeeeeee) in England "z" is pronounced "zed"
3.  Found my self reffering to the cost of something in America in £ instead of $.
4.  I am only in 3 classes and I am an even bigger procrastinator than when I was working 20 hours a week and in 5 classes.
5.  I'm getting used to the fact that people in England don't tend to follow walking rules when they are walking...I follow the rules of the road in America...if you are walking head on with someone in America you go to the right...in England...they go in all directions. You end up dancing with a lot of strangers.
6.  I've discovered Top Shop and how amazing it is.
7.  I can totally navigate the public transportation system.
8.  On my way to school I see a castle; it is no longer a big deal.
9.  I know how to order a proper English tea
10.  I've started to use x's at the end of writing a text, message, etc.  Still wonder if there is any meaning behind if it is --> x or --> X. I do know if there are 2 x's it's cuter than only one x. :)
11. Oh and today I finally figured out how to do this --> £.  I want to just type it all of the time now!! Only 2 moths in England and I FINALLY figure out how to do this! Haha

Well, that is good enough for now. But I HAVE to finish this damn paper. Due tomorrow at noon.  It's Thursday at 10:38 p.m. oopsie :|.
Missing my mom, dad, roommate, friends, chris, ahhh the list could go on...
I'll try to update later!
