I've jumped on the bandwagon and started a blog for my time here in London/Europe. I'm a follower, I'll admit it. I always do things like this then get bored within a week so we shall see how long I actually keep this thing going...but I did try really hard to make my page pretty so that improves the odds.
Here's a quick catch up on my life here so far:
I finally arrived in London and my first night out I won 850 pounds at a casino (I have no real explanation for this except karma) and met my very first bona-fide British boys. Cha-ching. Also went to Oxford for a day trip and saw the Harry Potter great hall-oh, and a university.
The following week I tried to survive on as little sleep as possible while going out every night, attending torturous econ classes, and attempting to be a put together person.
The pubs here are amazing because
1) they serve lots and lots of beer and this magical thing called cider
2) they close early so weekday partying is possible without having to use willpower
3) they are everywhere
Grocery stores, however, are not so amazing. I've been living off of the 2 pound lunch special from Tesco Express since arriving. And yogurt. I'm very nutritious.
My next weekend I traveled to Venice, aka favorite.place.in.the.world. Almost didn't make it but after 8 long hours of traveling on every form of transportation we arrived in the breathtakingly beautiful city. I had a gloriously gluttonous weekend of pasta, pizza, paninis, gelato, and lots of souvenir shopping.
Tomorrow I'm going to Wales to go horseback riding and spend a quiet weekend relaxing. I will also be pretending that Oktoberfest isn't happening and that everyone else isn't there.
Cheerioooo
