Stonehenge

I went to Stonehenge and it was awesome, although it was freeeezing.  It's not quite the pyramids, but it still has a really cool historical story and mystery about them, given that they were built thousands of years ago.  After that we went to the little, quaint town of Salisbury and toured a church or cathedral (I'm not sure what it was).  The architecture and intricate detail is beautiful.  I wish we had prettier buildings in the U.S.

Classes are not too bad.  We take field trips in most of them which is great.  This week we are going to the British Museum, which I am looking forward too.  My forensic psych class and professor are pretty awesome and my sociology of sport class is pretty cool too.  I also am taking an America: A foreign perspective class which hopefully will be interetsting and we get to do tons of field trips (including Paris) in my historical architecture class.  Even the classes in London are better.

Yesterday I booked my first trip.  We are going to Amsterdam and Brussels in two weeks.  Booking it ended up being really stressful, but luckily mom was there to help me.  We are also working on planning our spring break trips as well as a few others.  I decided not to go to Istanbul, but to save that money for elsewhere.  I also am going to Bath in a couple weeks, which should be pretty interesting. 

As far as London, I feel like I am pretty settled in although I don't believe I will ever not feel intimidated by the city; there is just so much to it. 

London Lessons:

1. The people at McDonalds are friendlier and more helpful in the UK.

2. European bathtubs suck, they have really high sides and are super slippery.

3. My supersweet sixteen UK addition is even worse than the US addition.

4. Londoners really like prawns

5. London clubs are different than American ones

6. London gets more expensive each week
