First Few Days in London!

London is SO amazing! I can't even begin to describe how much I love it here. I have done so much already! I have successfully navigated the underground (Tube) and the bus systems to and from the place where I have class and the grocery store. So plus! I have also gotten rained on in true London fashion. Lesson learned: carry an umbrella at ALL times! The weather has ben really nice though for the most part. I picked all my classes today, and so I only have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! Plus a late night french class Monday night and my internship. It's pretty awesome :D

Let's see.... well I bought a bottle of wine just because I could. OH and I bought a drink with dinner called a Screaming Orgasm. It was awful, but whatever! haha! My dorm is on the 10th floor so I have an amazing view of Chelsea. And my IES center is close to King's Cross and Piccadily Circus! Yay! They are great locations. 

Umm... well I got yelled at today for being too American haha! It happens. I've also almost gotten taken out by a bicycle and a car, because you have to look the opposite way before you cross the street than you do in the States. That's something I really need to work on. Uhh... the food has been good. The grocery store is really different though. That's been the biggest culture shock thus far. 

I have a roommate from Madrid, Spain and she is great. I feel really fortunate for getting to live with her. The classes i'm taking are: The History of London, The Architecture of London, Intermediate French, an Internship Seminar, UK Media and Politics, and The Government and Politics of the UK. I'm very happy with that. 

Well, I think that just about covers the last couple days! My flight went well and I'm making friends! It couldn't get any better than this!

Goodnight from London, with love!
