The people, yes I love the British people but I love the people who are here with me! It is so fun to get to know everyone and meet new people. This is like hanging out with 30+ friends all the time! There is always something to do, and always people to joke and laugh with. I love my roommates, and it feels like we have known each other for much longer than we have. We are always laughing about something. The other day Hali and I had a presentation. It was a day that we had gotten up ran, showered, eaten breakfast, and done make-up. But then it was one of those days that we were so organized we even had time to double check our hair and make-up, instead of the usual rushing out the door. I was making jokes saying that we will look so good for our presentation, and Hali quickly said "Well as long as we look good, we can give a terrible presentation. Who needs to be smart when you look good?" It got us all laughing (and yes she was of course joking).
We do day trips with everyone and class with everyone but the rest of the time we get to do whatever we want. So different groups will go off and do various activities during the day. There is never ever a day that we have nothing to do....of course not we are in London! Yesterday I went on a run and then walked in the door and a group was going to a market so I pretty much just changed my shirt and ran right back down all the stairs to leave with them. It is so much fun to be so busy. I realized that maybe I should have showered but I didn't want to miss out on the activities.
We are on the fifth floor and there is not an elevator. All of us girls can not even wait to get home for swimsuit season (we hope the five flights of stairs we walk up will help us look extra good). We get to use the five flights of stair to justify the treats we eat here. We found these cookies at the grocery store for about 47 pence. It is a roll of thin cookies and they come in different flavors. They are called digestives. They somehow sneak their way into our purses so they are with us on every outing. Last night at Matilda we all were in different areas of the theater and we managed to get the roll of cookies around to almost everyone.
We found out about student tickets for the plays. To get student tickets you need to arrive and be in line early! We got up yesterday at 6:30 am to go get tickets. We arrived and the line was already huge, so we made our way over to Matilda to wait in that line. 10:00 am the ticket office opened and we got our five pound tickets! We returned later that night and saw the musical. It was darling!
Toilet paper--I am so grateful for Thursday's. We have a bathroom with four girls in it and somehow we always run out of toilet paper. Toilet paper is delivered every Thursday. The first week we were out of toilet paper by about Monday. (they do not give us much). Thankfully we could get some from the church building. We all joked and said we are so grateful for those who pay tithing since it has given us some spare toilet paper.
I realized that I do not have any fun blog pictures for this post, so will need to remember to capture our funny moments.
