Last night I made the stupid mistake of taking the headache/cold medicine I bought when I arrived maybe twenty minutes before sleep. Stupid because I knew it had caffeine in it.

Admittedly, I was probably nervous and excited and all sorts of things, and I can’t blame 60 mg of caffeine for lying sleepless, getting back up, and then not falling asleep until later than I might like. BUT that’s about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, and more than a Coke. Blah.

In any case, I’m off searching for flats again. I shan’t bore you with the details, though; suffice to say that I’ve looked at tons of places online, contacted a few, and actually seen two. I should go see a bunch more today, but we’ll see what happens. I wish I had been here a day earlier; yesterday was the best day for flat-seeing/flat-seeking.

Last night I hung out with Emily dA and Michael R, and met Emily’s friends Ashley & Mateo. Nice kids, all. Emily and Michael and I went to a restaurant her friend had recommended, called Bazaar, which is near where I’m staying right now; her friend described it as “ridiculously reasonably priced,” which was pretty accurate: it looked like it should’ve been a lot more expensive than it was. I was pleased with my food, but it wasn’t amazing. Still.

I’ll post that adventuring-essay when I get a chance to look it over.
