Today sure was an adventure. We woke up and had breakfast then started classes. Things aren't going to be too crazy from the school end of things which is a bit of a relief. I just want to be out playing in London!
This place is amazing! I'm starting to get a better feel of how things work here. The Tube system is pretty nice. I haven't really gotten lost yet either, which has been way good! I feel like I'm completely adjusted to the time here now. That's a relief. I would be dying today if I was still super tired. I'm making some fun friends and really enjoying meeting everyone. We have a very wide variety of people here in London. Some interesting personalities. Thankfully all of my roommates seem to have the same interests and we're all similar personalities. Its really fun.
Its interesting to note how much quieter things are here. You don't here a lot of sirens (it might just be our location) and when you're walking around or on the tube, no one talks loud, if at all. Its been a bit of a reality check for me as well as some other girls. We're learning to stay calm and not talk so loud and offend any british people. haha
Well, after classes today, a group of us went on our own little adventure (after an hour and a half of reading ugh!) to St. Paul's Cathedral! I think that was one of the best experiences ever! There were 7 of us that went and we all claim it was the best 9 pounds we've ever spent. That Cathedral is GIANT! I don't think I've ever seen anything like it! It is 300 years old... and it only took 35 years to build which is insane considering it took 60 years to build the Salt Lake Temple! We couldn't take pictures inside and its hard to describe what I saw... but it was truly amazing!
We climbed up 367 stairs to the bottom of the dome. It was an intense climb and we were all tired by the end. haha The view from the top was amazing! I can't believe I climbed up there and I'm sure my family feels the same way! I looked down and didn't cry or anything! I'm so proud of myself! :)
That's about all that happened today! It sure was fun! We have another class tonight to learn about the Tower of London before we go see it tomorrow and then it looks like I might have to stay in and do homework.... oh well!
Tower of London tomorrow!!!
The Dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. So cool! We climbed up there!
Cool Arch we found behind the cathedral. No clue what it is though :)
The group of us who went to the Cathedral! (Tricia, Kaitlin, Addison, Ilarene, Me, and Garret. B.J. left early.)
View of the London Eye from the top of the Cathedral!
The Front of St. Paul's Cathedral! So amazing! You can't even begin to imagine how big this place is! It was mind blowing!
