Orientation Part Deux

Today was pretty busy. When I woke up at 7.30, it was already bright and sunny and our room was rather warm. We definitely face east - I opened the curtains and was temporarily blinded.
Orientaton Part II took place today at the Centre. I rode the Tube for the first time to get there, and I like it better than the El in Chicago. It's a different culture though - no one talks to people they don't know, even if they're sitting next to each other.
We verified our classes today - I'm in Theater in London: An Introduction and Living and Dying in the 17th and 18th Century London. I'm excited for the theater class - we're going to go see 6 shows! And we get a backstage tour of one.
We also signed up for field trips today. I'm signed up to go to:
The Globe Theatre tomorrow,
on a bus tour of London on Saturday,
to Windsor and Eton on Sunday,
to Wimbledon on the 24th, (I'm probably only getting a grounds ticket, which means I most likely will not see any big name players)
on a weekend trip to Stonehenge, Salisbury and Bath on July 2-3,
and to Brighton on 24 July.
I'm really excited!
After orientation, Nicole and I went to the Chelsea Sports Centre. She rows at school and I like to run, so we both worked out for about 30 min. We both know that we're going to be feeling it tomorrow, but it was nice.
If you saw my facebook, you probably saw that I only took 3 pictures today, and they're more scenery shots. I think I'm going to the London Eye tomorrow, so that should provide more pictures :D
Till then,
-Carly
