My flat is awesome. Like, holy cow. Not only is it in one of the nicest parts of London, but it has that antiquated feel that I love so much. I am running on no sleep in at least 24 hours at this point, but I've already managed to take a quick stroll around the neighborhood and it is really cool-looking. I took a few hare-brained photos that I will attempt to post here, but suffice to say it's a cool neighborhood. There's a Sainsbury's market where I bought some bread, pastrami (that I thought was prosciutto...oh well), brie cheese, coffee!!! and a bottle of rose wine. I felt so sneaky checking out with a bottle of wine, but the drinking age IS only 18, remember. I love London already.
My flat-mates are lovely. The last one, Mali, just arrived and is scrubbing the airport off herself in the shower (the first thing I did when I got inside the flat), and the rest of them (Malory, Kayla, Sam and Joey) are out hunting for cheap mobile phones. I declined, mostly because I'm tired and kind of want to hang out alone, but also because I'm not sure I'm going to waste money on a mobile phone. It doesn't seem worth it to me. I have SKYPE!
The journey from Heathrow Airport to Central London was QUITE the adventure. It took me like, an hour and a half by the time I had purchased my tickets, etc. Let's just say I plan on spending the majority of my time in Zones 1 and 2 this semester.
I'm overwhelmed with excitement, exhaustion, emotion... I'm SO happy to be here in this adorable little flat in this wonderful big city.
