home, sweet home

I'M HERE!! :)

It's the beginning of my second day in the new city. Yesterday was a very loooong day. We arrived at Heathrow airport around 10 and met with the larger London group. Rode a bus to our new home for three months and carried my luggage up three flights of stairs...well I only carried half of my things. Three flights is a long way for overweight luggage, so some of the guys were willing to help me. Very grateful for that!

The rest of the day was spent going over the semester, rules, and things to watch for. My major concern is trying not get hit by a car crossing the street! Remember, they drive on the left side of the road, which means now I must remember to look RIGHT before crossing the street. Plus, before a light turns green at a stoplight, they receive a yellow "get ready to go" light, meaning they are quick when it's time to go.

We drove by the British Museum on our way to the home. Gigantic is the first word that comes to mind. Very beautiful. I cannot wait to spend some class time in there!
