If i had to pick one word to define this past week: STRESS. Looking back, i cannot believe i've only been here one week--it feels like forever, which I guess is a good thing, seeing as how everyone talks about how the time here flies by. From finding a place to live, to getting used to the (gross) food, to finding drawers to put my clothes in so i can finally unpack my suitcases, it's been very stressful.
But now that most of that is over, I feel that I can relax and truly enjoy my time in London. Classes started yesterday--it's going to be rough having 4 3 hour classes--especially since after the first 45 minutes I start yawning...oops. yesterday i had 2 classes-photography and international PR. the 3 hours is rough, but all the classes i'm taking sound decent, so it shouldn't be too bad. tuesday i dont have any class, and wednesday i just have one class at night, entrepreneurship, and thursday i just have sociology of sport at 2 pm, so monday is my only early morning. yesterday i made my first "commute" ever, i'm so used to getting up and driving to high school or walking to class, yesterday i had to walk to the tube, get ON the tube, get OFF the tube and walk to class (and stop to get a muffin).
The travel planning has begun! yesterday we were all comparing lists of where we'd all like to travel, and hopefully starting the weekend of Sept. 18th somewhere. On my current list is: Amsterdam, Prague, Paris, Madrid, Milan, Dublin, Edinburgh and Germany. But who knows, it's going to be hard to figure out which ones we ALL want to do, and which ones i may have to cross off my list.
ok, i'm off to enjoy my day off! more pictures soon, hopefully
