Wow, England is honestly amazing, and I haven't been here for an entire week yet. I can't believe I was just in London, and now I'm in Leicester, and it is equally wonderful! The last two days in London were terrific, although a lot was jammed in in very short period of time. I guess that's to be expected, though, when you're a tourist. I can't wait to go back to London with Brenz, the fam, and by myself, just to wander and explore like I wish I could've done this week. However, I did see all of the highlights (as Susanna, our tour guide, kept calling them...but honestly, isn't EVERYTHING in London a highlight?)--Buckingham Palace, Tate Modern, British Museum, Globe Theater, River Thames, Jack the Ripper walking tour--and much more, particularly when some of us would just wander off, or go out at night. London is absolutely beautiful, and, thankfully, we had two days of really gorgeous weather. Also, I must say I can't wait to go to Berlin and Prague because the guy leading the tour, Simon, is HILARIOUS. Oh wow, more good times ahead.
And now I'm in Leicester, still not feeling like I'm actually going to go to school, but I guess I'm not really. My classes should be rather easy, so the majority of my time here will be spent travelling, boozing (yes, I am THAT girl, haha), and getting to know all of the Brits, who have been so welcoming already. Last night was completely belige and out of control, and FABULOUS. It's so great to be welcomed in by all of these people; they're used to Americans, so that's refreshing. Apparently, though, we all have some pretty huge shoes to fill this semester.
Ha, I think we can do it, judging by last night's debacle...hehe.
