Orientation

Sorry I haven't written lately...:( I stay up too late writing on my blog that I am tired all day long! :) But I enjoy it so much so I'm going to have to get over it.

So orientation started yesterday. I got all the classes I wanted, so I was excited about that. Did I already tell you that? humm... anyway today we finalized that and then took a tour of London, so being the smart girl my parents raised...I wore comfy shoes instead of my really cute black boot heels...only to find that the tour was virtual aka slides in a class room...lame. Then we had a policeman (very cute...but married...) come in to talk to us about safety in London. I asked a few questions so I could avoid being hit by more buses (I won't tell that story or else my parents might make me come home). And afterwards I went to talk to one of my advisers and she asked me if I asked a question and I said yes and she told me he said I had a "lovely" voice...see that's the difference between rude Americans and the ever polite British (except when they drive). If I was in America he would have said, "You have a high voice." or "Squeakers?" or "Is that your real voice?"...in Britain...they think it's LOVELY...I think I like this country...

Then today we rode a double decker! I rode up top and in the front seat...quite a ride...here are some pics...

View from the top....
They like to get up close and personal...that's about 6 ins away from us...

And just as close on the sides...that's about 3ins...Cailin and I riding the bus...
Jin, Me, Emelie...eating at a cafe after a long day of big girl shopping....
Here's where we went...
Selfridges & Co this is where you get the good stuff...Chanel, Gucci, Armani, Dior, etc., etc....


And of course my friend Jimmy was there...oh Jimmy Choo shoes...
And then there was Louis and Chanel...and their stupid amazing purses...
And then we came back to reality and stopped by our ever faithful to be able to afford...Primark...it was so busy we couldn't even turn around. If you look close you can see all the people at the entrance...We decided to go to church instead and pray for Chanel bags...us in the tube on the way to churchJin, Emily, and Maggie waiting in the "Q" aka line for church...After being rejected at church we went to dinner and walked around China town...we found this...luckily we had already heard the sermon on temptation before we got kicked out of church so we resisted...
That night I think I truly caught the essence of London...Old and new...
OK now some fun pics...turn ur head to the right 90 degrees and you'll experience the view out one of the windows at LCF
and the GIANT apple store that is always packed w/ people...and this pic doesn't even do it justice...
OK well that's all for now.
love,
