Alive and Well and Living in London

Hey everyone,

Bari and I got in day before yesterday, went through immigration, got our bags and headed to Goldsmiths. We didn't realize till much later that though it was a little chilly...it was really sunny (as opposed to rainy foggy london stereiotype.)Turns out we're in the same suite which makes it easy as far as getting stuff for our kitchen.

The room is small, but for one person it's fine. I have my own bathroom right in my room which is again small, but it's just me so it's fine. As for our suite: it's a nice place to live but as far as flatmates go--someone in accomodations messed up. Everyone's nice but everyone on our floor (2 suites to a floor) is a girl from America. It's kind of dissapointing but once classes we'll hopefully have more interaction with people from other countries.

Last night I went out with Bari, Erika (one of our flatmates) and her friends. We went to a pub and found one that was pretty empty and quiet but there were a few locals at the bar and one old man that kept dancing (poorly) to a reggae version of Elvis' I Can't Help Falling in Love with You. We then went to the one right next to our dorms that had a lot more people and a bunch from our school.

Today we had the Theatre Department Meeting which actually told us when our classes are and kind of what they are. One of my classes was changed from Modernism and Post Modernity to Performance and Culture. Not quite sure what it's about but no big deal.

Bari got her packages of cooking stuff today so tonight might be our first real meal. Thats about all for today.

More later. The internets kind of in and out so when there's stuff to update about I will.

Things sound like they are coming together....but does your new class title mean you'll be back on stage again? It would be worth the trip to see you back up there...Mom

Did they promise you that they wouldn't be grouping you with other Americans? I know when I was in Lancaster, they assumed that all the Americans would want to be together, so we got stuck in the same hallway (with British folk too).

Hey lady! I hope you're having a wonderful time in London. I certainly miss your face. Take care, be safe, take lots of pictures, and love every minute of being there! :)
