Wow its been a crazy couple of days, that's for sure! I am loving London life and trying to get the "OMG" look off my face! We have been exploring London via the Tube which is a underground subway public transportation service. It is a little stressful figuring out which lines you need to ride and such but overall it's a wonderful way to get around!
"Big Ben"
Yesterday (the 11th) was my 20th birthday and it was a blast! All of my flatmates and some other girls here went out to a club called "The Electric Ballroom" and it was awesome. The club was very large and had two floors of different kinds of music! I didn't know a few of the songs but I am sure I will learn about British music during my stay!
Birthday with the ladies!
Today (the 12th) we moved into our flat in Tigress House on Edgewar Road, which is centrally located and has a lot of necessary stores close by! (including Primark which is a high class Walmart, and Boots which is similar to a CVS) Our flat is huge, it has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths which is a good thing when you are living with five other girls! I have the smallest room, with my roommate Megan but it works out well because it is also the warmest (these old buildings are drafty!) I will post pictures of the flat sometime this week!
It has definitely been an eventful couple of days and I am ready to use my new Themprapeutic like pillow and call it a day! Classes start tomorrow, but I don't have class until Tuesday! I have a meeting tomorrow at noon with my internship coordinator Bevan to discuss my internship placement (I believe I am working for SC Films International, a film production company!)
I will continue to add to this list, but here is the start of the different words that Brits use:
1.) Elevators are called "Lifts"
2.) Going to the movies is "going to the cinema"
3.) If you are at a restaurant and want a "to go" box, it is called a "take away"
4.) "Exit" signs in the UK is "Way Out"
Well, ta ta for now!
Love and miss you all,
K
How fun! Enjoy my love!
