Starting to Adjust

So far my first week has been great! My classes are fun and so far interesting. The course load isn't bad at all. We do quite a bit of reading which is fine with me. For our British Life and Culture class (BLC) we have to write a paper every week reflecting on our fieldtrip and lecture. We went to the Museum of London today. They had a really neat exhibit on the Great Fire of 1666. There were also exhibits on Roman London and Medieval London. Since London's been around so long, I would have thought the museum would have been bigger, but it was very small and we got through it in about an hour and a half taking our time.

I'm going to get a cell phone today so if you get a call from a random number please answer it because it's me! It's only 2 pence (3 cents) to call the U.S. and 20 pence (30 cents) to call here in the U.K. which I find odd! Tonight is cheap pints at the campus pub...1 pound 50 per pint so we're heading over there sometime. I'm making lots of friends and getting to know my roommates very well. We're mastering the tube and the streets successfully. Dad, we went to that Bagatelle place and it was AMAZING. It's less than 2 blocks from the flat and has some of the best french pastries! We had a mini Kings Cake for breakfast on our way to the museum. Yumm!

I miss you all!

Love from London,
Ellie
