I Belong Here

Ever since my Argentina experience, I must admit that I've been a little hesitant about travelling. Even though I have a huge list of places I want to go in my life, that trip almost ruined it for me. Clearly, however, I guess there was still some craziness inside of me that decided, "Oh, pick up and move to England for four months? Hey, sure, why not" before my panic sensors detected what the heck I was doing! But, man, am I glad I did because England? NOT Argentina. And that's only the beginning of what I like about it.

First off, they speak English here. What a blessing even though it seems very basic. Second, fashionably, I fit in more here than Argentina. weird, but true. They are more particular about what they wear and that's very me. Sorry I never dress like a slob (Unless I'm sick or something). Third, I'm living with some of the nicest people ever and we're getting like 3 days to just relax and adjust instead of hitting the ground running. It's been nice to socialize and just chill with the people and all discover things together. So nice.

Tomorrow we head to the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. We get to see the Crown Jewels and have our first real London experience. I cannot wait. Then, on Saturday, we're going to go watch the Changing of the Guard and see the play "The Woman in Black". Then church on Sunday and classes begin on Monday! Tres magnifique!

The place I'm living is amazing. The BYU London Centre is an old Victorian era building that is tall and narrow with a kajillion staircases! But it's a beautiful building and really cool and historic!

I hope that I'll still be a little homesick at the end of this trip so that I'll actually WANT to come home haha but for right now, it's just so surreal being here that I can't wrap my mind around leaving anytime soon!
