I have arrived in the UK. I actually arrived here on Thursday morning at 9 am (UK time). I moved into my flat thats about 30 minute walk to campus. I still have yet to see the sun. As a matter of fact, I still have yet to meet my roommates. Everyone on campus has been pretty rude to me so far. One of my roommates came out of her room and smiled and shut the door in my face right as I was about to introduce myself. The weather is terrible. No sunshine, just cold and wet and gloomy. It's actually quite depressing.
My room is pretty small. I have plenty of drawer space. The bed is lumpy. Kind of like sleeping on a cot on rocks. The bathroom is small. There is no hot water in the shower. I will post pictures later when I get a chance.
Sorry it took so long for me to post since I've been here. But the man from Radio Shack sold my mom and I the wrong outlet converter. Apparently he didn't understand where England was. Anyway, a girl I knew from high school lives here about 15 minutes from campus and her father loaned me an outlet converter so I can finally have internet access.
I had orientation on Friday and finally received my timetable for my classes. I am taking 4 classes. Monday I have one class, Tuesday I have two classes, and Friday I have one class. So, I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off. I'm kind of worried about the grading system here. Earning an A in the States is like earning a C in the UK. So, mom and dad, I apologize if I get C's this semester!
Well, thats all for now. I will constantly have my Skype logged on if anyone wants to skype me. My skype name is bcwalls. Skype me if you want!
xoxo
