Hey everybody! I know it's been awhile since I wrote about my adventures, but have no fear!!! I'm here to tell many a tales about the past few days. Fasten your seat belts, enjoy the ride...
So I had my first full week of work. It kind of flew by. Thursday was exciting because I was finally put into the computer system, which meant I could receive and send emails, and book meetings on my electronic calendar. I also made this cool signature thing that I put in all of my emails. Sounds pretty simple, but it was VERY exciting for me. haha.
Friday, Matt and I decided to check out Harrods, which is the big famous department here in London. It puts Macey's to shame. This place was AMAZING!!!!! I couldn't afford anything put a keychain there, but it was still so beautiful to see. Matt went to the men's section to see if he could find any Ari Gold suits (from Entourage). Of course we found some...this place was so high class!! Eventually we got overwhelmed and decided to leave and tour some of the city. Matt tried a Krispey Kreme donut for the first time in his life. HILARIOUS! We ended up walking much further into London then we expected, and we stumbled across some cool monuments and memorials. Check out my facebook for pictures. Friday night, Matt, Ryan and I took out my roommate Marie-Lou to a pub. We ended up bumping into crazy British Stewart again. It was hysterical. Awesome night.
Saturday I went shopping in Notting Hill with Marie-Lou. We went to some kind of market for a bit, and then we checked out Westfields Mall, which is the largest mall in Europe. IT'S SO HUGE!!!! I didn't even know where to begin shopping! We only stayed there for a little bit because Matt then called us to go out to dinner with him and other CAPA students. We went to this adorable little Italian restaurant. VERY YUMMY!! I decided to be classy, and I had a glass of wine...with my burger...ok, maybe I'm not THAT classy...LOL. After dinner we went back to their flat, where we met some new CAPA students. It was really nice. We all then (about 10 of us) went to a pub in Picadilly Circus. Matt, Marie-Lou and I only stayed for a little bit because we had to catch the tube home.
Now THIS is funny...as we're waiting for the tube, Matt and I were discussing how we miss our families back home. Then, a group of girls tapped me on my back and asked "excuse me, are you Americans studying here?" We said yes, and then they explained that they are students from Penn State, who are actually studying in Spain, but were visiting in London for the weekend!!! THENNNN....Matt asked if they knew this girl (his neighbor from home) and it turns out that one of the girls was her roommate!!!! HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!?!?! How does that happen??? Only in London, my friends...only in London.
Today was kind of boring. I just did homework and watched tv all day. Marie-Lou made a french meal for dinner. VERY delicious. Ok, I'm off to skype my girls Carolyn and Caitlin back at Ursinus...oh I miss them.
