So I've only been here for 3 days but it already feels like I've been here for weeks. The area we live in is amazing, it's so classy, although everything tends to be expensive. I've officially started pub-crawling! We've been to 3 so far, and they've all been so cute. People in the pubs immediately recognize us as obnoxious Americans though as soon as we walk in, which sucks cause we havent really gotten to meet any British people yet!
We had massive amounts of lectures today, which the majority of students slept through, including me. It was like the history of Great Britain, which I hate to say is not the most interesting material, especially coming from an 80 year old man who has been lecturing for 2 hours about it. Moral of the story, I took a 2 hour nap during that, which was pretty nice. Then for lunch we ate at a french bakery, and they had Croque Monsieurs! I couldn't believe it. Mrs. Sunny (french teacher in High School) would always rant and rave about them, to the point where there were questions on our exam about them, and I finally got to see them! All it is is basically a grilled cheese with like ham and egg, but it was still funny to actually see.
We walked by Hyde park, which is 2 seconds from out dorm, and it is the most beautiful place. America is so lacking in historial monuments/places, so coming here, history is everywhere. And everything is so fancy, I'm talking gold plated buildings, greek statues, it's crazy! And people just walk by them like they're commonplace, while I'm just gawking at them with my mouth open, trying to not get hit by a car long enough to wip out my camera and get a picture. (Can anyone say TOURIST?)
Yesterday we went on a cruise on the Thames, and we say a lot of the famous sites in London, like Big Ben, Parliament, London and Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and a lot of the famour architecture. After we got off the cruise, we took an tour of Westminster Abbey, which was one of the most beautiful places I think I've ever been. So many famous people are buried there, from Henry VIII to Jane Austen. I love history...
Then we went shopping at the local supermarket, which was crazy confusing. First, they don't refrigerate their eggs here, which made me a bit skeptical. They have like EVERY SINGLE cheese known to man kind, and I really want to attempt to try them all! They have absolutely no form of macaroni and cheese, which is a major dissapointment, so I got lots of pasta and tomato sauce. The peanut butter is way different, and not in a good way. They also have insane amounts of sausage, and some of them I really didn't want to know what they were...nasty.
That's basically been my last 2 days, tommorrow consists of more lectures (yawn) and I think one of the dance clubs in Picadilly circus.

Also, I'm attempting to upload pictures/video, hopefully it works...

Cheers!
