Peacing out of America for 6 months. This is an account of my travels and experiences.

The first day we got here we had meetings for orientation, then a couple of us went to a pub, The William Blake, and had traditional English food. I actually had nachos (love me some moes!), but some other people got real english stuff. We then went to the White Lion, which quickly became our favorite pub. The owner gave us free chocolate and mulled wine, some cinnamony, wine thing with spices. it was delicious! We played pool and darts and hung out all night.





Tuesday we had a scavenger hunt across London, it was really cool. We paired off into groups of 4 and went around the city. The first place we went was St. Paul's, which is the most breathtaking structure I've ever seen. Its amazing to me that the prince is getting married there. Again we went to the white lion, and enjoyed ordering our own drinks and taking everything in.



Yikes! I've arrived at my flat finally! After 3 days of orientation, scavenger hunting, and pubbing, today was the day we moved to Queen Mary. Of course it was the only day so far we've had of rain. Nothing like moving 100 lbs of luggage in the pouring rain. I've been hanging out with alot of Bucknell kids and with some other people I've met so far. Everyone is super duper nice! Once we got to our rooms we all went out to a big grocery store called Sainesbury's...soo british! We had to walk like 2 miles in the pouring rain to get there, then back with all of our stuff! So now i'm just unpacking! which i am horrible at, it takes me forever, so i'm gonna go my best to focus and get it all away!
