My First Day

First of all, I just saw a Papa John's pizza delivery guy. I now know I can survive in this foreign land.

We got to this grand country at 6 a.m. (BST time) and we were tired as heck. I think I managed to squeeze around an hour of sleep from the 6.5 hours it took to get here. I did watch Prince Caspian though. Good movie.

We rented a MASSIVE van that managed to fit all of our luggage (including my 8 suitcases) and all of us. Not bad. We're staying here at Newbold so I got a chance to look around. The school itself is pretty old and not really what I expected. The buildings look nice and cozy from the outside, but inside it looks like it could probably fall apart in the middle of class. The rooms are smaller than the ones at Southern, and I brought so much sutuff my mom's gonna have to take back some of it. Bummer much?

I also got to look at my room, and I half-met my roommate, Caitlin. The first thing I saw was the mess going on in that room, and mother was later quick to point out that I wouldn't be keeping my room like that. Ha... good thing I won't be living at home =)
So, basically I wasn't very excited to be here at all, but then we went to London. Oh, my darling London. For some reason I'm so drawn to that city. I absolutely love it. After walking around for about 5 minutes I was excited to be on this continent. I completely forgot every negative image I had of my future school and realized I would be ok!

So now I'm here at the school, catching up with people as everyone else is sleeping. It's currently 18:37... or 6:37. I'm gonna have to get used to that army time...

Love, peace, chcken grease.
