Finally! A update!

Update! I am so sorry I haven’t updated everyone! Being here in London is such a wirlwind and I do so much that I never feel like I have time to sleep let alone sit down and write something. All of my flatmates are gone for the evening so I am using this time to relax and write an update of my life here.

I feel like I skipped over the tourist part and became a Londoner immediately. I haven’t taken a ton of pictures because I feel like I am taking pictures of my home. I wouldn’t take pictures of Grayson! Haha. I am going to get better at doing that, though. I honestly can see myself living here. My family believes it is because I have never traveled but I honestly think it’s just because I feel so comfortable here and I love it. I feel so independent here and I know that I can take on anything when I get back to the U.S.

I don’t know what to say specifically, so much has happened. I have made it a point to find really cheap food and great vintage market finds. I have purchased some really beautiful jewelry from Portabella Market. . As far as food, we have found so much. We got a lot of guides before we came to London that gave us suggestions for food. Wagammama was the overwhelming favorite for the people who have been here. Well, we found Wagammama’s much cheaper brother. Tuk Tuk. You can get a large plate of noodles or rice for 3.80 pounds. That is compared to Wagammama’s way overpriced noodles. We have also found curries for 2.50 pounds and buffets for 5.60.

My internship is the most amazing thing ever. I can’t put it into words. I am learning so much and the people I am working with are great. I have a lot of responsibility and I get to see first hand what working at a company is like. I don’t have to answer emails or anything like that. The most I have ever had to do is buy milk.

I love going out dancing here! It is so much fun and the people here dance so much differently. There isn’t any of that grinding stuff, it is just fun.

Today we went on a boat ride down the Thames for our GST class. I loved it! It reminded me of the cruises my family and I take every year and I started to wish they could be here to share the experience with me. We also visited the National Maritme Museam and answered questions. Afterwards, Karena and I went to the British Library to try to finalize some spring break plans. We think we are going to end up getting a train pass to one country and exploring it for a couple of days. A country pass is actually really cheap. For about 90-100 dollars we can explore any country in Europe.
