Catching Up

I'm sitting in the poshest McDonalds EVER at 10:33 at night so i can get free wi-fi. The internet is on its way in my flat, so right now this McDonalds is the place! It's got these cool pleather swoopy chairs and fancy wall paper and everything. I'll take a picture later when I have my camera with me.

I just moved into the flat. We signed the lease yesterday and the landlord moved in the correct number of beds for us. The internet has been ordered up and everything is ready for occupation. They even gave us a bad of bed cloths. Nice of them. There was a bit of drama in the room selection process but hopefully everything is peachy. Yes, I'm living with seven other girls, but they are seven very lovely girls.

In the last couple of days I've been running around straightening a bunch out so I'm set to start classes on Monday. I have a pay-as-you-go phone that I bought for 4.50 pounds. Good deal. I also napped. I also visited a pub and got baby's first pint. I asked for a half pint (especially 'cause I already had a half pint with my dinner) but he misheard me. Brianna helped me out with it. It was a cider ale called Strongbow. It was delicious. Three CMD friends and I had gone to dinner together where I got a dish called the "Dirty Rat." It was a burger with blue cheese sauce. It was so delicious. Ask Bri, I talked about this burger for the rest of the night. I talked about it still today. I'm talking about it now, It was tasty. Then we went around the corner to a pub called the Queen's Lager. It was good times.

Today we registered our classes and got a couple official things figured out. We also signed up for some extra curriculars. I'm excited about two things in particular. One is a volunteering opportunity at a farm a bit a ways out. Another is a program called Host where I can sign up to be hosted a weekend at a time by people from all over the UK. I have to pay to get there and then they take care of me for a weekend. I'm really pumped. As soon as I know my schedule better I'm signing up for weekends.

So tomorrow I get settled in my flat and maybe do some exploring around my new 'hood and London in general. Sunday I go to the prime meridian (Greenwich) with a bunch of people. My favorite English guide individual is going on the trip and he said he'd be Bri and my's buddy. That's fun. More tomorrow and definitely more after my outing on Sunday.

Love to all! Thanks for reading and commenting!
Cheers!
