First week

Hello Everyone!!
So, this first week has been completely amazing!! My flight was great...didn't even have to use my air sickness patches! (like you really care...) and I got to Cambridge alright with a couple of fellow travelers along the way.

My room is gigantic! About 3 times the size of the singles in ERC and comes with a minifridge and wash basin. I'm staying at a hostel right across the street from King's College, so it's not far at all. And the best part is that I'm in the market area so I just walk a quarter of a block to my left and I'm in the shopping center! I can get fresh fruit at the farmer's market or coffee at the independent coffee shops. I can get all kinds of food and go shopping everyday before class! I love Cambridge...haha

Fresher's Week, like Welcome Week, has been extremely exhausting because of all the activities but lots of fun. I've met tons of new people and we have participated in formal dinners, Pub crawls, clubbing, punting on the river in the back of King's, and I've already gone on a field trip (excursion to be fancy...) to Ely, about 15min. train ride to see the cathedral for my gothic architecture class.

My Economics I class was super easy because it was introductory so I switched into Econ II. I've already missed a full week of that class, so I hope its not too hard!

I met some fellow Harry Potter fans and we went to the London Premiere on Tuesday! We took a train from the Cambridge station and got a great group rate along with an all day tube pass. There were soo many people...and we would have gotten there waaaay earlier except we still had class in the morning. However, it was the most incredible experience I have ever had and we got tons of pictures...check facebook if you're my friend...lol....and got to scream in the POURING rain for 2 hours. OMG! There is soo much rain here! It's cleared up now though and looking quite nice, but the first week was heavy storms. I love rain though, but its kinda awkward when I think that back at home, it's over 100 degrees!

Unfortunately, I had my cell phone stolen at a club on Saturday night. I just got a new one though and I got a fairly good deal...although with these exchange rates, its not a good deal at all.

I love my TA's (they're like RA's except British...lol) and they are very friendly and CUTE!!!

Hope to write at least once a week to update you on my travels...Bye for now!! Cheers!!
