On Tuesday i went to the Natural History Museum and it was nice but i think the best part of it was thats its free. In there i saw things about dinosaurs, marine life, space, earth. There was a huge globe that was really cool. The museum is about 2 blocks away from where im staying. 
Wednesday the whole group went to Moonlighted in Soho which on wed nights is called Cheapskates its a dance club for students. So i bought some shoes before i went out to cheapskates however they HURT SOOO BAD! so we left the club, my feet in an immense amount of pain. 
So Jenni my little mini-me was soo kind to switch shoes with my (thank God). Thursday a group of us went to Whole Foods for food tasting. Then last night which was friday, the group of us went to Imperial College's pub. Had fun meeting our neighbors and some students from the surrounding area. Anyways this was a good week with some good times all rolled inside.
which lasted about 2 hours, we saw sooo much that i seriously cant remember everything that i saw. Like where harry potter, spiceworld, and finding neverland was filmed. All i know is i saw alot of places that i need to go back to. After coming back home we had another tour however this time is was a walking tour at 2:00. It was pouring rain for the first hour and extremely hot the next. We walked to imperial college and
Kensington park and palace where princess diana lived, being as it was just the anniversary of her death there were lots of flowers and pitures everywhere. 
After that we went to Kensington High Street where we went shopping. 
Made dinner then decided to go walking around town with Maggie and ended up at the market again so we got things to make Kenzookies (pazookie in Kensington) then around 2 a.m. went to sleep. Another good...long...eventful day
everything that we needed but it only cost 20 pounds so it wasnt bad...HOWEVER what was bad, was our brilliant idea to carry everything home because it wasnt a long walk. Mind you it was a short walk with nothing in our bags and hands. So we walk home finally and unload everything. Then we head over to school for a mandatory orientation that lasted for 2 whole freaking hours. But at the end of it we got our oyster (tube&bus) pass. so about 7 of us needed to get cell phones so we all decide to take the tube and go get a cell phone from a place we looked up. Of course we get on the wrong line and get off on the wrong exit but we found a place that cost the same amount of money.Jess, Steph, Lucas, Fletch, and me go out to Nandos for dinner. I then came back home took a shower then did a video chat with my mom until it was 3. All in all it was a long good day 
there was one thing, but luckily Virgin Atlantic flights had movies, tv, and music so everything was fine. So not only could i not fall asleep on the plane, but around hour 7 my hip and knee bones started hurting :( and these are problems that i have off a plane so it was annoying me. Anyways i land in heathrow and i get through customs with no problems and then i get the lovely task of getting my luggage (o did i mention they were both almost exactly 50 pounds plus a stuffed carry on and a packed backpack) so we go find a taxi, but seriously my bags were so heavy that my arms were sore :( so the drive from airport to home was like 30 minutes but our driver was hilarious...he was such a bad driver flipping people off, almost hitting people and cars, running red lights, you name it he did it. Finally i get to Manson Place (mi casa) and both lucas and i are on the bottom floor, so as you could expect it was interesting to take all my stuff downstairs...So im in flat #1 (woo woo) and i have 3 (thats right 3) roommates named stephanie, Jessica, and maggie. I have my own bed, there is a living room with couches, tv, and 
dinning table, there is a full kitchen, and bathroom. So after unpacking we all start to try and plug our stuff into the outlets when we realize that they dont work. So then we start to go around the flat and we realize that the fridge/freezer was not plugged in so we had to plug that in, there was no water pressure or hot water, and that there was no electricity, and to top it off we didnt even get the welcome bags that we were suppose to get. So as you can imagine all of us were freaking out a little because a flat with no outlets for girls is just ridiculous. So we have our first floor meeting and we proceed to tell the people everything wrong with our room. As it happens, the fuse box was turned off for us so all we needed to do was to flip the switch and everything was fine. So then we were forced to take a "tour" of the city. It had to be the worst thing ever no one knew where the hell we were and to top it off out "tour guide a.k.a one of the RA's" just left us at our school and basically told us to find out way back home. So we all go back to our flats and get showered 
and we decide we want to go hit a pub for some food as a welcome to our first night. We stumble across this one place called the stanhope arms and we go in to eat some fish and chips. So the night ended around one o'clock in the a.m. basically keeping me up for over 30 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!! All i knew was that the first night was amazing...and we all had the feeling that this was going to be an amazing semester!!!!
