Give Way

I have survived one and a half days in London! So much to see and do, but modules (classes) must be chosen and I must get acquainted to the University of College London (UCL) where I will be a student this semester. In the meantime, no sign of jetlag! Time difference is a bit weird because I know people are still up and about at home when I'm going to bed. It's hard to get in touch with my new American friends because they don't have British phones yet so we keep trying to find WiFi, but it's not working so well. We actually had to set up a meeting place and time today, and it worked! It's weird to think that there once was no internet and cell phones didn't exist. How did people stay in contact? We now rely so much on these types of technology.

At orientation today we learned more about the schooling system here and different vocabulary for different aspects of school. It was good to start to get a grasp of what modules will be like, but I don't think I'll really know until they start on Monday. 

Also, took the tube for the first time today! My building is a block from two different tube stations, so it will be so easy to get around. Got lots of ideas for musicals to go see on the walls of the tube station. One of my favorite differences thus far is that their yield signs say "Give Way". I'm sure I will include a picture of this soon. I forgot my camera in my room today but I'll be sure to bring it tomorrow as we are going on a walking tour. There will be lots of pictures to come very soon! 

Have a wonderfully marvelous day, cheers! ~Laura
