In London!


Hello, everyone! Welcome to my super awesome blog! I am aiming to update this about every week... we'll see how that goes!!

I have now been living in London for a week- what an exciting (and expensive) city! Things have basically been non-stop since we got here. Today I took the tube to Notting Hill and went to this huge market (Portobello) and then walked to Hyde Park, up Oxford Street and back to Regent's. The whole trip took about 5 hours- that is a lot of walking!! Other interesting things I've done/seen so far include the London Eye, Big Ben & the parliament buildings, a Jack the Ripper tour, the British museum (twice), another outdoor market (Camden) as well as getting lost on the tube.

The campus is really nice (did I mention that I'm also going to school? the classes are pretty easy). I live inside Regent's Park! Everything is really green too and there are millions and millions of birds all over the place. I have been pretty shocked at how pricy things are, but tomorrow I plan on spending some cash and getting some boots (super trendy) and some cashmere scarves (oh, la la).
