Hi Everyone!!!
I arrived in London yesterday!!!
Let's start with my plane ride... One word: HORRIBLE!!! I guess I expected a little more leg room... it was cramped... The lady next to me was really strange, she asked for my cheese stick at dinner and she vomited twice in the paper bag. There was a screaming baby two rows back... which seemed like every time I had just fallen asleep she started crying... There was a sound box where I was supposed to put my purse under the seat in front of me so I couldn't keep my bag with me... The only good thing is they fed us dinner and breakfast right before we got to London...
Now to London... It is AMAZING! I don't even know how to explain it. I've never been to such a beautiful place. Everything is nice, there is no empty or run down buildings or anything.
Yesterday those of us that were here went exploring. We went to Warren Street not even realizing that it was the best place to shop in London... it's only five blocks away. We didn't shop though because we were just exploring. We stopped at a little bar to have a drink because we were hot (the weather was just a few degrees cooler than home) and one of the girls with us flirted with a bartender and he told us to go to this restaurant for dinner. Which was delicious... the bartender ended up coming and we were eating dinner and his mouth dropped open because apparently two tables down was a England celebrity... which was kind of cool but I don't even remember what her name was.

Today, UD paid for us to go on the number one bus tour in London. We got to see everything!!! So now we know what we want to go back to and see. After the tour Melanie and Sarah (two girls I've been running around with, there a lot like me) and I went to Chinatown for lunch. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. (I told you the food in London was going to be good Joejoe :) )
Our dorm/apartment has five single bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen. It's in the middle of University College London. It's a great location. The amenities aren't that great but I love having my own room. Everyone has been complaining about it but I am happy with it.
I start classes tomorrow: Marketing and Finance. I am excited for Marketing but not so for Finance.
So, life is GREAT here! I am so excited for the rest of the trip.
The pictures: I can't figure out how to turn them sorry or make them bigger. I took a million but didn't want to bore you with all the architecture... Two of them are of my room, one of my kitchen, one's of Big Ben, one if you look closely you can see Big Ben and the London Eye (we were on a bridge), ones from the tour, and the other ones were from Chinatown. The pictures didn't post as well as they look. I got some great shots!!!
I miss and love everyone!!!
