Whoa.... I'm tired

I'm finally here in London! Thank God (or the Gods :p)! Today has truly been an adventure:

After boarding the plane in Logan and taking some Tylenol PM, I find myself in Heathrow not remembering one second of the flight :) it being too groggy to realize that I got on the Piccadilly Line (the underground/tube) instead of the Heathrow Express train that takes you into Paddington. So after lugging my luggage onto the tube I met another American student who is studying in the same area, South Ken.... so we decide to ride and then walk together, with all of our luggage together. But of course, I forgot about the steps; the many, many, many steps from the Piccadilly line to the exit in the South Ken Tube stop. Between the two of us we had 4 50+ lbs bags plus 3 smaller bags. Needless to say, we were the cause of great amusement. When we finally got to the top and exited the station we both realized that we didn't know exactly were we were going, so that added to our sidewalk show...lol. Finally, we ended parting ways and I found 12 Manson Place, my new home for the next 4 months.

I almost cried when I saw the housekeeper who gave me my key, I was so happy to be here. I then lugged my suitcases upstairs and found that I was in a single :) and I started unpacking. Through out this time I randomly met my 11 other house mates: Kesha, Sheri , & Michelle; Emily & Andrea, Christine & Monique, and Dan, Matt, Zack, & Andrew. I am so excited to live with them and get to know all of them.

Andrea and I went wondering a bit today and then we all, as part of our orientation, went on a walking tour with one of the RAs from another building. Even walking around today, it hasn't sunk in that I am in London for the entire semester. Then half us made dinner (if you call PB&J dinner) in our kitchen and hung out, while the other half went in search of some good pub food.

That brings me here.... sitting in bed, trying to keep myself awake, to fight off the jet lag.

Once I get my camera charged I will start uploading photos :)

Off to London Again :)

So... Tomorrow I am off to London for the spring semester and I am extremely excited! (though I will miss you Simmonians all desperately)

I am posting here instead of cleaning my room/packing, can you say procrastination? I sure can!

Well, I guess I have to get back to work :(
