We arrived to LHR at about 7:30 am London time which for us was close to 2 am in the morning. Having not slept at all on the plane, I started what I thought was going to be short day exhausted. It took us about a 2 hours to get from the airport to the University (Queen Mary University of London, which is gorgeous by the way) and immediately had to go to orientation because a small group had to move to a different plane, a day late (long story). So I'm basically falling asleep in my chair at this point trying extremely hard to stay awake because I know this information might be useful in the near future. After that we broke out into our individual classes and took a walking tour of our part of London. We took "the tube" for the first time which was kind of fun considering I've never been on a Subway system before. We took a short tour down the River Thame and took some pictures. We got back to the dorm around 4ish and some of us need to get some groceries and such so we went together down to the Budgens near our university. I was way to tired to do anything else and crashed around 6pm.
So far I am incredibly excited. I've already have seen so much that I wanted to see and some that I've never even thought of. I'm loving the authentic British accents and the overall atmosphere in London. The weather is amazing. I love how beautiful a country it is here.
Don't want to overload my first post so i'm signing off until tomorrow.
See ya later!
