I've been in the UK for nearly four months. Even still, I am not fully adjusted. When crossing the street, I still look left when I should be looking right, or right when I should be looking left. I am still using American terms. And unfortunately I still have an American accent! But when I get frustrated, a British accent tends to come out lol. I'm not used to the fact that Mother's Day is in a week...and not in May!! There were even a few times when I plugged my phone into an outlet and forgot to turn it on - because in the UK, each outlet has to be turned on in order for electricity to flow.
I have yet to get a job, but before I do that I still need to get a National Insurance Number. Do not worry, I intend to work. I don't want to laze around on my arse for the rest of my life. Thing is, though, I do not mind work. It is just the social anxiety I have trouble with. I am hoping I can start earning from this blog or YouTube...that way I don't have to be around people technically. It's really difficult for people of my personality type.
Apart from that, I'm adjusting fairly well. I've still got a few things to get used to, but they are not major. One holiday I recently enjoyed was Pancake Day...I know for a fact I'm going to really enjoy that holiday!
It's nice to relax, though, regarding the visa process. I don't have to start stressing again until 2019. Until then, I can enjoy this expat life with my hubby. We've almost been married a year....wow...time sure flew! But we've closed the distance and we are living happily together now. We aim to honeymoon in Santorini, Greece at some point as well as have a ceremony here in the UK so his family can witness it. As far as family plans, there are none! We'd rather travel the world together as a couple.
I'm loving it here! I'm so happy here! I've found my happiness.
On a side note, the Christmas present I got for him FINALLY just recently arrived!! I posted about this in my last blog entry, so I figured I'd update it. It came in on St. Patrick's Day.
