London is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

WOW! is all I can say.. this city is amazing!!!!

My flight was on schedule and i had NO problems getting over here. I couldn't have asked for a better 3 days. Right now it is Saturday, July 3 at 9:45p.m. and I just went to Harrods' for dinner. Pretty amazing! Harrods is the coolest place/shopping building in the world!!! Earlier I went on a walking tour and went to Buckingham Palace. It was so pretty!

So let me tell you so far what I have learned about London: the city is very populated (more than NYC), they can point out Americans better than you think (even if you are dressed like them), they are very fast-got to go people(very short convos and are always walking FAST), the "tube" is my new best friend (saves walking 10 miles), I LOVE BIG BEN's beauty and the the London Eye, padestrians do NOT have the right away and on each crosswalk at the bottom says which way to look before getting run-over... and i am serious they DO NOT STOP (VERYYY SCARRY), ummm let me see. I went to bed about 9:30pm last night and it was still day light.. then woke up at 6am and it was DAYLIGHT too.. weird. The time is on military time. like 1430 is 2:30. werid. I have two new London friends named Kane and James.. Kane works at the cellphone store called (CARPHONE WAREHOUSE) and James at the Sushi place in Harrods. OH and I ate Mexican for lunch today.. amazing.. it was a quesadilla with bbq and black beans in it!! what else can i tell you?... my teacher is GREAT his name is Dr. Clinton aka THE ROCK MAN. I call him Rock. He loves me already- he says there's always SOMEONE in the classroom who asks too many questions.. and i am that person! Wheww.. whatever. lol i'm in a foreign country where i know NOTHING.. but that sure changed fast.. i feel like i have been here at least a week. It is great!

OH for you all that are interested: My bedroom is called a flat and it is the smallest dormroom i have ever seen.. hillcrest does not compare. OH and did i mention it does not have aircondition.. nothing does here!!!! I am sweating off all my fat.. i will have a new body in no time!:) heeehee! The showers here are INSIDE the bathroom aka the shower and potty are touching each other. its kinda gross but whatever i have my own room to myself. The maids come to get everything clean once every 5 days. Okay Chow for now.. i'll update yall as soon as i can! I am a busy girl!


tomorrow: St. Paul's Cathedral and WIMBLEDON.
