Wow guys, I made it. The flight was fine- I sat next to this boy who I swear, talked like a 13 year-old, but looked my age... idk, anyway... I slept about 3 1/2 hours on the flight which was good considering the cabin lights weren't turned off until 10:30pm.
Before sleeping I watched a movie on the tiny screen affixed in front of me-- The Jane Austin Book Club. I had read the book two summers ago and thought it sounded more interesting than Rush Hour 3 (although The Rescuers and Pocahontas were available for viewing too)...
Arrived at the London-Gatwick airport at 2:30 am, had to do the scary customs check-in thing. I always feel like I'm going to be rejected although I never have a reason to worry.
We then took a bus from the Gatwick airport to London/Regent's Park where we dropped off our luggage in Reid Hall of Regent's Colleg... then we spent the day walking around, from Maryleborne to Baker's Street, to Piccadilly Circus... ate some food... rode the Tube and now it's time for sleep(FINALLY).
Tomorrow we start class, then we go on a bus tour of the city, and then we see King Lear tomorrow night at the New London Theatre (can't believe it/can't wait)!
Can you believe that for $100.61 I only got £42? Well, I can, but it still blows my mind.
Yes, the previous two paragraphs are pasted directly from an email I sent Laura, but I'm too tired to re-word/type it again for my own memory's sake.
I'll post a few pictures, then I'm heading to bed!
(Okay, I must add it grosses me out that there's a KFC and a TGI Friday's off of Regent Street-- come ON people, it's not the US-- in other news, I passed both a Burburry store and a Crabtree and Evelyn store.)
