Just FYI
I made it to London all right. I don't have a ton of time to update now, but for the meantime, I wanted to let you all know that I currently do not have internet access in my residence hall. As I have a PC I have to go through various antivirus stuff and get a consent form signed/approved before it'll be activated. If you have sent me email I've read it, but it's very difficult to answer on my blackberry from here.
I've been really busy with orientation related things, but I hope to post with a more comprehensive LJ update either tomorrow night or Sunday (my first official day off!). But important things: Have already been to a pub and seen a rugby match on TV. And between the two female friends and me who went out last night, the British men at the pub thought I was the ugly one.
Good times. I evened that out with Foster's and Guinness.
And my dorm room is a closet. For all of you who think Max P doubles are too small, they're like palaces compared to the double I'm in here. I'm glad I'm not claustrophobic. I'll take pictures of it later.
Also, Vikki, I brought a measuring tape with me for costumes, but like the email says, my internet isn't working properly in the dorm quite yet. Though it should be up and running in a few days. I get email on my cellphone, but it's difficult to reply back. So feel free to still email me but don't be surprised if it takes me longer than usual to reply.
