Hey everyone at home! I thought that I might add some of the photos I have taken and try to write a little as well. I know it's been a week but I wanted to get settled in.
I was also feeling inspired because I received 8 pieces of mail today. All of the TAs think that I am very popular. I especially liked the hair dryer unit transformer because it officially works!
No bad hair days anymore.
When I got on the plane I was used to Southwest. Imagine my surprise when I discovered complimentary meals and movies. Everything was very stimulating but I made myself go to bed at around 11 Central Time so I could wake up at 9 in London without jet lag. I am happy to say that it worked. I got to Heathrow and it took two seconds to get through the airport.
The picture above is where I am staying. It is called Webb's Court because I am right across from the library. I am in King's College which means that I have all the classes in the same complex.
My room is big enough and I have a fridge and sink in my room. I woke up one morning at five and tried to find the toilet and it was almost impossible. It was hidden outside of the building in the exterior entryway area. At least I have a kitchen on my floor. The showers are concealed two entryways down in the basement. It is very tricky.
We had a formal welcome the first night and the dining hall looks very similar to what Yale imitates. It was in King's Hall.
After dinner, I met some Yale guys, Danny and Johnny and we explored the local pub life.
Another funny thing is that in all the pictures of this college, there are these beautiful lawns. Well it is actually illegal to step on the grass. So they are just pretty to look at.
