Day to Day Life in London

I realized I have not updated this in awhile, and I noticed that I only seem to be updating this when I travel somewhere...which really is just silly because my blog is supposed to be about my time spent in London, and I'm only writing about my time spent outside of the city where I'm living.  Also, I am in the middle of writing my British Cinema midterm report, so I need something to do while taking a break from writing.  And what better to do whilst procrastinating than update my blog for all of you!!!

Things are really good.  I'm feeling almost completely settled in, and it's such a great feeling.  Classes are very easy, which is nice but also bad in a way because the easiness leads to boredom really.  But, I'm trying my best to stay focused and take good notes and study the material and do the coursework - I turned in a paper for my Ancient Civilizations class on Tuesday, I have my British Cinema report due on Wednesday, and there is a Drama in London paper due a week from tomorrow.  Woo hoooooo!  Hahaa.  

My friends and I are still having a lot of fun going out to pubs and exploring around London bit by bit.  We're actually trying to plan what we want to do for our week-long fall break in late October.  Meghan, Bridget, and I think we just want to do some sort of short trip to Geneva, Switzerland as well as possibly somewhere in Germany.  But we don't want to go away for the whole week.  We've decided that we'd rather just come back by Tuesday most likely and use the time to rest and explore more of the London area that we have yet to see.  We also have tentative plans to go see a football (ie. soccer) match in early Novemeber, which is SO exciting!!!  It will be a Chelsea match, because we're currently obsessed with Chelsea football, and they are our favorite team so far.  

Ummm...don't know what else to say right now...but I'm really really really happy here still, the happiest I've been in quite some time, and it's so nice to feel so comfortable here and to have such great friends around me as well. :) :) :)  Until the next time!!  Love and miss you all very much!!!  Come and visit me!!!!! :D

Thanks for the update, I check every day, and was getting a bit annoyed at the lack of reporting. Also, why is no one looking at my blog (maybe because its boring?). I wasn't planning to visit you as I thought it might be better for you to experience the semester on your own, but it would be nice to meet your friends and hang out in London, I have never been there, I stayed on the main continent when I went to Europe. Glad to hear things are working out so well. Don't forget to check in with Pam's friend in Wimbleton, that might be a nice place to go visit. Oh, for your Cal Football update, then beat up Colorado State yesterday, but they did not look very good, next week is Arizona State, then need to really, really improve or else I think its going to be a very long day for the bears. The tree sitters are gone, and Joe Starky on the radio actually made a comment that the view was much better with the trees gone . . . that was probably not a good comment to make! I am sure he will get some grief for that. Later, dad (check out www.ibikeandwork.blogspot.com for pics from our Mendicino trip).

Hmm, reading my comment, I wonder why I always type "then" when I mean to type "they". Anyway, make those corrections in my comment. Goooooooo BEARS!! Um, Goooooo Chelsea!!
