Blimey I'm Here!

Well here we go! I finally arrived in London 3 days ago after the longest day of my life. The flight over was pretty boring, while the entire plane was sleeping, I sat there wide awake in a chair too small for a 10 year old. After we gathered all of our luggage and found the bus, we made our way back to our home for the next three months, International Student House right in the heart of London. Once we made ourselves home in our four person dormroom that looks like it came right out of the movie Hostel we set out to explore the city. That night we ended up going out to explore the subway system in London, The Tube. We took the tube down to Parliament and as soon as we got to the top of the stairs Big Ben was right there in from of us within ten feet, there it hit me, I'm in LONDON!!!! After we walked around and gazed at Parliament, Westminster Abby, and Big Ben all light up we went off to a pub to have a pint. We finally made it back to our dorm and hit the sack after being awake for 34 hours :/ Sunday we had a group meeting with the rest of the UW-SP group at 1PM but for some reason we thought we would wake up without an alarm, guess what?!? That doesn't work with horrible jet lag. I woke up at 1259 and rushed down to our meeting, what a good way to start off the semester..... We started our classes Monday, I was signed up for an international studies class but I decided that I wanted to take the theater class instead, I had to keep up with my ritual of dropping a class every semester. The theater class is going to be pretty sweet. Every week we need to go to a performance in one of London's hundred theaters. This might be the easiest three credits I have ever earned. Monday night our class went to our first play, The Six Degrees of Separation, some people didn't like it but I thought it was pretty good. My day today consisted of going to the largest museum ever! We went to the British Museum. This place was huge! There are over ninety rooms filled with artifacts and history, I was only able to make it through ten of them within the two and a half hours that I was there. I am probably going to be going back at least 4 or 5 more times to make sure I get everything. Well That was my first few days in London. GOODNIGHT!
