So I have been at University for about a week now! It has been so much fun! I live in Telford Court at the University of Hertfordshire, Flat 39. I have 5 other flatmates: Amelia, Jade, Will, and David. They are so awesome! They have been so welcoming and outgoing.
Most nights Will comes in and we just hang out, listen to music and he gets to talk to my family and freinds back home on Skype. It's pretty great. Seeing as a week ago when I first got here, I was trying to get into my flat around 8 in the morning when this half naked boy stumbles out of his room and started walking towards me. I was TERRIFIED! I was fumbling with my keys and could not get my door unlocked. Then in this scruffy just woken up voice, he goes "HI. I'm Will." and that was our first introducation, I had a minor freak out moment in my room. But turns out, he's actually pretty cool.
Hannah and I are adjusting nicely, we both get along great with our flatmates and they have been so sweet including us in their nights out to the Elehouse or the Fourum which are a pub and a dance club located in the Student Union which is a 4 minute walk from my front door =) convenient.
We have already established our favorite drink here, Cidar and Black. I am seriously considering smuggling some back to the US and making a fortune. If this cidar made it to the states, sorority girls would never be the same...it's that good. I've already started constructing a pyramid of cans in my room (I'm desperate for decorations and damn proud of my first week's accomplishments)
Hannah and I both have gotten our schedules finally, we both have classes on Thursdays and Fridays (ONLY) Perfect for TRAVELING I can't wait!!
The guys here are hilarious, they are always giving us such a hard time for our accents, which I find amusing. Their favorite line to call us out on would definitely have to be "OH MY GAAWWWD!!" Which sadly, they do quite well. They are also working on teaching us a bit of their lingo as well, I suck at it I've been told.
Last Thursday, Hannah and I went on our first official pub crawl. It was nothing short of fabulous! Well we went to 2 pubs...it was more of a stroll I guess. However, I did learn that American girls dance a bit differently than what they do over here. I felt like Beyonce. hahaha
On Sunday we went to London, it was amazing! We had so much fun! I saw Buckingham Palace (my favorite!) Big Ben, London Eye, Parliament, Piccadilly Square, the guards with the fuzzy hats (highlight), had a roast dinner, visited the Art Gallery and saw Van Gogh's Sunflowers (beautiful!) and a work of Picasso, AND got the famous telephone booth picture! It was definitely a Successful trip! I will post my pictures on facebook soon!
Well it's late here, but I will post more soon!
cheers.
love,
jane
