Mind the gap...

...WOW!...it has been such a LOOOONNNNGGG day. I know I posted a blog earlier today but so much has happened since then. For starters we went on a short tour of London. We got to see Parliament, the London Eye, London Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and so many more amazing sights. After that we had an orientation about our internships. When we left there, some of us went to the London museum to begin our first assignment which is due Friday (ugh). The museum was pretty cool but we wanted to do our assignment and leave because we had other things planned. From there we went to lunch and had Fish and Chips. It was interesting and they served in with Mayonaisse. After that we went to go look for cell phones. I ended up finding one for about 15 pounds. YAY! So now I have a phone and have already used it. After that, we went shopping. We bought sooo much stuff and then we had to carry it all the way home. I wish we could have stolen a shopping cart like people do back home and wheel it to our flat, but you're not allowed to leave the store with the carts. When we got home we only had about an hour and a half to relax, then we had to meet with the rest of the group at 7pm for dinner. We left only giving ourselves 10minutes to get there, which we came to find was not enough time. We got lost on the way there and eventually arrived at 7:45pm. Luckily another group had gotten there only minutes before us. Dinner was good and the restaurant even offered spotted dick for dessert. This caused lots of jokes within our group some of which are still going on. Some of the people ordered spotted dick and actually liked it. (I was not one of those people.) lol. After dinner we came back to our flat and Isabel and I still needed to walk our route to work since we start tomorrow and we want to know how to get there. We started at about 9:30pm and went to Isabel's place first. It was pretty simple to find once we figured out the tube (subway) system. From there we got a little confused on the streets but we eventually found it. Next, it was my turn. We went back to the main station at our apartment and started from there since that is the route I will be taking in the morning. We got on the correct trains but my place is extremely far from the city and it took a while to get there. When we did the neighborhood was so empty, since it was so late, and so dark. We wandered the streets for a while but it was closing in on midnight and we didn't want to miss the last train back home. We ended up leaving so I'm still not sure exactly where my job location is. I know the area though, so I figure I'll be fine. I'm really surprised at how un-homesick I am. I for sure thought that I would be crying every night the first week about missing everyone but I quite like it here. I think its because I know the language and don't feel as out of place. Well, its 1:48am here and I have to wake up at 7am tomorrow to begin my day. For all of you reading this who are back at home go see She Screams Remedy at Chain Reaction tomorrow night at 6:30pm. It is going to be an awesome show and I'm sad I'm not going to be there. Thanks so much. Until next time, much love.

P.S. wish me luck on my first day of work...
