These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes

(anyone know that song?)


I'm sitting in the Residence right now with my two roommates who are both really cool. I'm excited to get to know them, I think we'll get along really well!

The pictures are from my first flight alone!! I took off from Maryland on Monday at 9 at which time i was served an airplane dinner of really awesome pasta, etc. Too bad I had just eaten way too many wings. I watched Julie and Julia on the plane entertainment system then listened to some Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts. Tried to sleep around midnight (U.S. time), but found out its really difficult to sleep on a plane.

I realized flying is a lot cooler in the morning when you can see outside.




















Yes, I am that immature. I couldn't resist.

Before we arrived in London, we were served breakfast too. This was strange becuase I feel like i had just eaten 2 dinners right before that. At this point I cant really tell what meal I'm eating anymore! Julie told me to take pictures of all the little things. So this one is for her- Breakfast on the plane :-) [the smell of coffee was never more satsifying than this morning on about 2 or 3 hours of broken and interrupted sleep]

At this point, I still havent been able to grasp the fact that I'll be here for over 3 months. I've been meeting tons of people and its a little overwhealming but I know things will calm down soon as we become more comfortable with each other.

Oh! and a group of us managed to find ourway from the residence to the Temple building for the pizza dinner tonight!!! So happy we figured that one out before tomorrow!

As of now, my roommate Alyx and I are planning on getting up around 8 tomorrow and wondering around the city to find breakfast, groceries for cooking dinner this week, and possibly [hopefully] a thrift store. Meetings at 1, then the rest of the day to explore :-)
