My friends and I have been getting asked lately by British people where we're from. We often wonder, "Isn't it obvious?" We have rather pronounced American accents...
Anyway, today I basically just had class and went shopping with my friends Megg and Ellen. We stopped in a great little shop called Accessorize, which is a better version of Claire's, and H&M. The area where our campus is, Oxford Circus, literally has four H&M's within a mile of each other. It's a little ridiculous. However, the lack of additional sales tax in England makes shopping trips a lot easier to handle; I can add in my head how much I'm spending. Now if I could only figure out how to use British coins...
Tomorrow is our last day of the first week of classes. It's crazy; Ellen and I were talking to an American woman in H&M about how long we'd been in London, and when we said four days, we both decided that it felt like much longer. It's strange to think it's been less than a week since I've arrived here and I already feel like I belong here.
Unfortunately, the weather is planning to take a turn for the worse tomorrow. We'll probably have rain, which I suppose I shouldn't be too bent out of shape about because it is England and all. The last few days have been lovely by British standards, so I suppose the rain was inevitable. Hopefully it won't rain on Friday, though, because we have a big day planned. There should be plenty of pictures!
