First Day in London

Hey Everybody!

I’m in LONDON! Wow. Just wow. It’s amazing. The sky is completely gray and the wind is chilly, but it’s not exactly cold, at least, not bitterly. =D All my stuff arrived safely and I had fun organizing my little room that I share with my roomie, Regina. I have three roommates, actually, and they’re all very nice and friendly. We’re actually living in the town adjacent to London, Westminster. (It’s kinda like a Fresno/Clovis thing).

My Street!

Our building is pretty old and very tight…the stairs are so narrow and steep, and everything creaks like a haunted house. I love it. Our bathroom is big and we have an enormous tub and a weird toilet. I can’t even explain it. Haha.

Our bedrooms are downstairs and upstairs is the common room/kitchen area. We’re on the third floor of our building and we have quite the view, so to speak. It kinda looks like the street Mary Poppins lived on with the Bank’s family…what was it, #3 Cherry Tree Lane? =D Josh and I were singing “Step in Time” on the bus ride over to Clifton Gardens (our apartments) because we were fascinated when we saw all the chimney with smoke coming out of them. I wonder if they have no burn days?

On the way over, I happened to look out of the window down at a car beside us and the guy in the left seat was texting on his “mobile.” I said in a very loud voice, “Oh no, that man is texting when he should be….oh wait, he’s not driving…*blush*”

Yeah. >_> Sorry, Elise had an American moment. It’s so WEIRD looking right and seeing traffic. *shudders*

Well, my brain is dead and I can’t think of anything else to write right now. We’re not doing anything tomorrow, so I might explore a bit…maybe take the underground down to see Big Ben or something.

Daunting. But the people are nice if you ask them politely for directions. It’s weird, at home if someone had a British accent, we’re like “Oh, wow, cool!” Now I’m just like, “Shut up, that accent is annoying me.” =D Seriously. Try watching an hour of some cheap British ripoff of “Good Morning America” and youll see what I mean. Oh, and their commercials are hilarious!...and very neurotic. I love them, too.
