I MADE IT!

So after several hours of travel, I am happy to say that I arrived in London healthy and happy, albeit very tired. I sat next to a very precocious seven-year-old boy on the way from the US to London, and I had the opportunity of hearing his whole life story. It was great, but it did make sleeping a bit difficult.

When we got to the center we were briefly oriented by our professors, and then we had the task of hauling our luggage up the stairs. I live in bedroom four, which I think is on the eighteenth floor or something... No, not really--it just felt that way. I have to climb six flights of stairs to get to my room. I am going to be in fabulous shape by the time this semester is over. I will post pictures of the Centre one of these days, but probably not until things settle down a bit. It's so great to finally be here!
