So yeah I can't believe it's already been a month out here in England! And despite the fact that I love to go travelling and being exposed to new experiences, I miss the States. I would kill for a good ol' American burger right now. Now I'm getting a little off track...
OK so coming to England was a mess from the beginning. Going from Chicago, I had two layovers: one in Boston and one in Iceland. Each layover was only an hour long! So I was freaking out a little bit. Luckily one hour wasn't too bad (nobody uses icelandair apparently so getting my ticket was quick)... But get this I arrive in London (Heathrow) and my luggage doesn't arrive - they were boarded on the wrong plane to Boston! So as you can imagine, I was freaking out - with no clothes except what's on my back!
Luckily Bournemouth Uni's welcome crew were very nice and very concerned about my situation. Which reminds me, at the airport and way to Bournemouth, I met Milla - she is one of the coolest people I ever met. She's studying scriptwriting - totally awesome...
Anyhoo so yeah there was the international orientation week... kinda boring kinda informative.
So yeah I didn't get my luggage for about five days (luckily the first night I was able to go out and buy some new clothes). The nights were freakishly cold and the drafty windows and lack of blankets and sheets did not help. The Uni set me up in a pretty nice studio apartment. Unfortunately this is only making me terribly lonely :(
