Officially a Permanent Resident

In less than a year I can apply for British Citizenship. Sweet.
But for now, I can come and go out of the UK without government restrictions and no longer require a work permit. Hard to believe 5 years flew by so fast.

Life in the UK Test

Hello.

So I'm studying for this test.

I take it this Friday. One step closer to becoming a UK Permanent resident.

You can only apply for permanent residency only if you've been living here for 5 years. And guess what.. its been 5 years! Where has my life gone!

Back to studying.

Holiday

2 week holidays rock.

Oahu, Hawaii was absolutely beautiful.

NYC was a nice visit, I love the new pedestrian areas they've created since my last visit.

And of course, nothing like coming home to sweet home Chicago. Unfortunately my visit was so short I didn't get to see everyone.

But overall, in the grand scheme of things, it was a "success" and the "gray clouds" have cleared.

Now if only I can post up some pictures, and have a proper workflow for the pictures I take with the DSLR...

I really should convert this into a travel blog or something to increase my post frequency. This whole "I've moved to London thing" has gone really stale and its hard to write something that is so played out and over 4 years old.

Facebook and Twitter are nice, but that limits you to a certain amount of characters, so that's lame, and twitter or facebook posts get old after a while.. I miss the days of people posting creating facebook statuses.. also, I like the fact that many people don't check this as often now so I can post whatever crap I want.

Speaking of which, I love the "block" feature of facebook... its the next best thing until they have a "Who cares!" button.. right next to the "Like" button.
