Well I made it through my first week in the UK!! It was a really long week! It seemed like I have been here for atleast a couple weeks!! Well Friday we had registration and it started at 10! Well we got there at like 945 to be safe!! They didnt start til like 1045. They didnt have anything organized so thats what they had to do before we started!!! They are the most unorganized laid back people i know!! Well there had to be over 200 of us just sitting in the front lobby of the Library!! They finally got going and we had to go to like 10 stations!! Lets just say it was really unorganized, nothing worked!! I was up front so i got in their pretty quick, it took me 2 hours or so to get through the thing!! Well thats not bad compared to my friends which took them like 6 hours!! Thats ridiculous!!!! Well we finally got all that done and i finally got my login so i can get on the internet in my room. Finally!!!!!!!!
Saturday morning we took a bus to St. Albans! Its like 10 min away for campus and its a historic town, plus they have a huge street market!! You can look at the pictures!! We went to an old cathedral where they have their graduation!!! After that we walked by the oldest pub in the UK and had to have a beer there!! It was pretty cool!! After we left there we walked to a morrocan resturaunt and had some lunch! It was pretty good. We walked around the market a lil afterwards!! Saturday night we went to the pub on campus and listened to a live band!!
Ok sunday was seriously the longest day ever!! We woke up and a bus took us to london around 1030!! We got dropped off next to the London Eye!! We left the tour guides and just walked around by ourselves. We seriously walked around the whole city, usually people take the tube, but we didnt!! Well we saw most of the historic places in Central london! We had some lunch at Trafalgar Fountain, i love that place!! We saw Buckingham Palace, the queen was at the Palace, haha!! Well we wanted to see the two nfl playoff games so we didnt go back on the bus at 6!! We than walked to a sports bar to get their early for the games. We got real lucky and got a table before it got really busy!! We were at the bar from 6 til 3 in the morning, thats 9 hours, hahahah!!! The first game the patriots won, which was good but than the Giants beat Greenbay, that sucked!!! I had two friends that were from greenbay and one friend from New York so they were all into it. The bar was packed with people from all over the US. It was crazy!! Well the game ended at 3 and we decided to walk to Kings Cross(the train station) to catch a train at 520. We thought it was only like a 30 min walk. Nope!! We walked for like an hour and a half!! We had to walk out of central london quite a ways!! It was a long walk after walking all day!! We got to kings cross at 430 and stopped by a hostel where some friends were staying at!! We talked to them and than walked to the station. We asked a guy at the station where were supposed to go and he told us the wrong thing so we missed our 520 train and had to wait til 6. We finally got home at 7 and i crashed. I slept til like 4 in the afternoon today!! My first class tomorrow!! Im definatly laying low this week and than hopefully going somewhere this weekend!!!
