Finally here!

My flight got in yesterday at noon, and it could not have gone more smoothly. Not only were my flights not delayed, they were early. I even slept on the plane! Well, until they turned the lights on to serve breakfast... not cool.

I. love. my homestay. My host mom is named Vera and she's really funny. She's definitely a mom all right! Every time I come downstairs she makes me put on her Crocs because she says the floor is too cold. Also living in the house are 3 boys from China, Norway, and somewhere else that I forget, and 2 Italian girls, Carolina and Amalia. They're so sweet and are already getting excited to take me out on the town. They're in London to learn English. Carolina says if I help her learn English she'll teach me some Italian. Unfortunately the only word I've learned so far is "shit" and I even forgot that... it's "stravon" or something.

Here are some pictures of my room!



























Today I finally get to see London! I'm going with Carolina and Amalia to school, since their school is in South Kensigton, too. I'll be a couple of hours early, but I figure I can wander around and get to know the area better before orientation starts.

Sending you lots of love from across the pond,
Rebecca
