Brief intro what my days are like

So I know I only posted one blog so far sorry!!! but I will be posting couple tonight and pics. I have been really busy living life in London and loving every moment. Plus by posting these blogs it helps me remeber everything I been doing and be helpful when I make my memory book from this trip.
So far its been amazing here!!! The only real down time I get though is when I go to bed. My days are soooo busy and most nights too with group outings and just going out for fun with everyone. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I work at my internship which is at the Royal Anthropological Institute. Mondays I only work from 10-2 because I have my theater class at 3:30 and Tuesdays and Thursdays I work the from 10-5:30. I only have classes on Monday and Wenesdays. Wenesdays are my long days I have my British Empire class from 9:10-10:30 (Lecture portion of the class) then outing from 10:30-1:00. My next class that day is Art History from 1:30-3:00 (Lecture portion of the class) Then from 3:00-5:30 outing. Then after that class all interns have to take an intern class every Wenesday from 6-8. Then I am done for then night well, done with classes atleast not done with having stuff to do for classes or having fun in London. lol. Now useally during the weekends we have group planed outings we all have to go to. Which actually they are really cool and fun outings execpt by the end every one is sooo exusted from all the walking and travling and being on a tight schedual. However, we do get three free weekends that we can travel or stay in London the point is we can do whatever we want.
Next post will be more detailed on things we actually do and see I just wanted to give a quick intro on what my days are like here in London.

Live Love Learn London

7 days of being in London




I can not believe I been in London for seven days so far. Its been amazing so far. The first couple days we did a lot of walking and saw a lot of amazing sights. However it was a little overwhelming in the beginning. For the first couple group outings ( aka Orientation days) we were on a tight schedule so it was hard to really enjoy all the amazing things we were seeing. Life in London is different from the U.S. but I love it. On our first day some of us adventured out into night life of London. Well after taking along nap first. All of us were exhausted after the long flight and two orientation meetings that we had to endure when we got to the Madison house located on Bedford place. (which is where I am living for two months) Pics of where I am living at will be posted soon.

One interesting fact about London all the street signs are on the buildings I think im finally getting used to looking for the streets on the buildings. Cars and Bicyclists are the worst in London then anywhere else even in New York.
They dont stop for you at all I think everyone has couple times each thought they were going to be run over by a car and even a Bicyclist.
One of the many awesome things about London so far is living two blocks way from the British Museum. I did not realize how huge it really was. But the great thing is when I have free time I will be going to the British museum a lot.

This week we started our classes and I also started my internship at the Royal Anthropological institute. Today was my first day (2/06/09) and tomorrow I have two classes so I will post more tomorrow to tell everyone how things are going.



I know this blog is short and doesnot contain alot of details but more will be added in the next few days when I have more time and energy.

Live Love Learn London (which I am doing) and loving every moment of it.
