Hello again from London!! After adjusting back to London time after returning from Turkey, I set out on my first "real" week of classes. Now you may be thinking, "Justin, you have been having classes for 4 weeks now!" And, you're right. But until now, I haven't done a darn thing in them except show up. We haven't had any homework or anything that needed to be done. All of that has now changed. I had my first paper and first exam last week. I am pretty confident on both. This upcoming 2 weeks sees me in hyper-class mode as I have 2 presentations, 1 paper, and 1 exam. So needless to say my first month of chillaxin has now bit me in the butt. Oh well...
On Thursday night, my roomies and I went to Whole Foods for Thirsty Thursday. Again, you loyal readers are probably thinking something weird. Alas, it is a very formal event that goes on at our local Whole Foods every Thursday where you pay 5 pounds and you walk around the 4 leveled store and get samples of expensive wine and try hor'devours. It's a classy affair that was very fun. I have never really had wine before, so it was cool to try different expensive kinds.
Saturday, my roommates and I took a free trip to Stonehenge and the ancient city of Bath. Stonehenge was, well, interesting. It was cool to see it, but it's one of those things that you look at for about 3 minutes and you never really need to see it again. It's just a bunch of rocks lol. Bath was really interesting to see. We toured the Roman Baths which were built over a natural hot spring. The whole city was beautiful and I think that is what I expect Italy to look like. Pictures will be up soon.
Sidenote: Pictures from Istanbul are on Facebook, and they are not on my Shutterfly site (sorry Mom). I literally took 250 pictures and there is no way I am uploading one by one on that site. You can all see them soon, I promise.
Finally, I will be heading to Scotland this Friday until Monday. It is going to be so cool as we are staying in Edinburgh, Stirling, and the highland village of Loch Lochy (about 10 miles from Loch Ness). Anyways, you can hear all about that when I return.
Until then, cheers!
Justin
