While it has only been about four days so far that I've been living in London, I have already figured out that it is pretty difficult to keep in touch with absolutely everyone back home that I want to keep in touch with. Plus, it gets rather annoying to just write the same email over and over again, remembering everything that happened that day to tell to new people. SO, I am following my father's (thanks father) good advice to start a little blog-type thing so that people can just come and read this whenever they want to! Whatta gas! :D
So, I will try to post on this thing as much as possible, and that includes pictures (the above picture is of the houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben, viewed from across the river Thames) and fun stories as well. I'm not promising daily posts, because I'm really pretty bad about consistency with this sort of thing, but I will write as much as I can remember to do so.
Right now, I finally was able to sleep in a little bit more than I have the past three days. I slept in until almost 2pm!! hahaha. Which is fine, because there are no events planned for the students in my program today. At some point, I'm going to call this girl I met (new friend??) Jessica, and we are going out to buy ourselves UK cell phones. Because apparently this is the thing to do. Everyone keeps asking for my UK cell number, and since I thought I didn't really need one, I have been putting off getting one for awhile now. It's the cheapest option actually for calling the states (which I like for calling all of you wonderful people), because it only costs 4 pence a minute (pence are like cents, and pounds are like dollars...except that because of the bad exchange rate it's really like a pound is two dollars...if that makes sense. But I've heard rumors that even just since we've been here the exchange rate has been improving.).
Ok, so I think I have rambled on enough for now at least. More to come later.
I miss you all and love you all VERY much.
Hope all is going well back home!
Much Love,
Simone

Wow, this is so awesome. I of course did not remember the name of your blog and searched all yesterday for it, today, Annica gave it to me. Thanks for the photos, especially of the apartment, that's a cool place, especially the shower. The photo of the huge building on the river is awesome, I'll take more time to read what you wrote, but I just got back from a long bike ride and am heading out to brunch with Pam. Enjoy everything, good luck with classes. Talk to you soon.
