finally!




















Hey everyone!

We finally got to our house yesterday (after hours and hours of waiting in airports and planes with Natalie)! It's so hard to believe that I'm really going to be living here for 3 months. Even after sitting through orientations about transportation and safety, and going on a 4 hour-long sightseeing trip all around London, it still hasn't sunk in yet that this is now my home.
After arriving at the house, we had a lunch in the library, then a quick meeting to pass out ID cards, class schedules, transportation information, and other things like that. We then toured the house and learned a little about the history of it (it was originally owned by a member of Parliment).
Last night we ate at this noodle bar called Wagamama's. Supposedly they have the best noodles in London. Tonight we ate at a pancake/crepe restaurant called My Old Dutch that was VERY good. Every night that we eat out as a group we are going to a different restaurant!
Even though I'm still a little nervous, I'm so excited about experiencing life in Britain. There are so many places and things I want to see and do! Too bad I have to go to class during the week. :)
Well, that's enough for now!

I'm so jealous! I'll be reading all your entries, so just blog away. Have a great trip, and don't be afraid of doing "cliche" things like trying to make the royal guards move or trying to pass yourself off as British. I want to visit you when you go to Germany! Take care. We miss you.
