starting school...

Sorry I haven't posted in the past few days. The internet at our apartment wasn't working. It was a very disheartening experience!!
So to back track a little bit, Monday: The first official day of classes. I started my morning at 9 with class. The lectures are different here because they meet for 2 straight hours but only once a week. It is hard to stay focused and sit still for that long of a time (especially when classes are back to back) but it is convenient for scheduling. (my Monday through Wednesday classes). The classwork isn't too overwhelming, although two of my classes will have big group projects which can sometimes turn into a hassle when you have to meet outside of class and I want to be traveling on the weekends. The study abroad students aren't given much direction either. Orientation might have the right idea but the group size was just too big and no ones questions really got answered. I am now feeling much better about the everything than I was on Monday!
After class, I went to Saddlers which is the workout facilities that are near campus. It is going to cost me 22 pounds a month ugh, but what can you do?! The building is fairly small. There is a cardio room that overlooks a weight room and a basketball gym. When I asked for a map while I was signing up the man laughed and said turn around and I will point haha! He then told me the the ladies locker room was upstairs. I went up the stairs and was just about to turn the handle when luckily another man walked out and told me that was the gents! I was very embarrassed. Now I know to go allll the way upstairs for the locker room.
Then Monday nigh I came home to an internet-less home and just read my book the rest of the night.
Tuesday: I have FULL day on Tuesdays. I start at 9 and my last class finishes at 6. I do have a 2 hour and 1 hour break in the middle. So I got to go to Saddlers on my break (and yes I used the ladies locker room). After class I had to go pick up some packets and hand in some paperwork. Tuesday night we decided to go to the American sports bar called City Bar. It turns into a dance club on Monday and Tuesday night and they don't charge a cover for students.  It was another fun and late night! My feet were killing me from the heels. I don't think I will ever get used to that feeling!
Wednesday (today): I slept in until about 11. I had class at 2. I stopped by the boys place to figure out some weekend trips and stuff. It's really hard to organize with everyone having such different schedules. Not much was decided on but hopefully by next week we will all know when we are done with classes/have exams/projects due and be able to book some flights. Tonight I am doing some laundry and reading for school.
I don't have any classes tomorrow or for the rest of the weekend :)! I am planning to go to Harrods! It is a world famous department store. I guess it is just unimaginably huge!! I'll post pics, no worries!
That's all for now! Hopefully our internet will be continuously working so I can post soon!
