Crisis and Puppies

So. Here I am. London. Still doesn't feel quite real, but maybe that's because I haven't slept more than a couple of hours in the last 36. I'll be honest I am pretty scared and lonely tonight, those of you who know me, which is pretty much anyone I emailed about this, know that it takes me a while to warm up to new situations. I feel so absolutely alone right now. There is nothing familiar for me to grasp on to. It is in many ways waht I wanted, but in this moment it is incredibly difficult. I feel like everytime I step out the door I am taken aback with the question, "what are you doing?" I know I know, everything will be fine and in a few days I will be loving it, but today is not a week from now, and today is scary. I am physically exhausted, emotionally vulnerable, and mentally overstimulated.I know I said it before, but anybody whoever is out there reading this please write. I need some contact with the familiar, some stregnth to call on, and most importantly a hug. Oh yes, and a puppy.

When written in chinese the word 'crisis' is composed of 2 characters. One represents danger, and the other represents opportunity.
