Orientation

Here are some pictures of my room:


Above is my side of the room. There's also a window to the left of my computer.

This is Kate's side of the room.

A random picture of part of Heathrow that I took from the backseat of the taxi. I posted this rather belatedly; sorry.

Orientation's been OK. We had about 6 lectures (each an hour long) about the history, economy, government, culture, etc. of Great Britain (from now on known as GB). We also had a few talks about student life orientation and academic orientation and internship orientation. And our core class met for 4 hours yesterday. (My professor showed us "An Inconvenient Truth" for the last 1 1/2 hours of class, so that was a nice break.) All of our classes are 4 hours long; I think I might die. (Kidding.)

The night before last, I went out with Diana, Liz, Meg, Katie, and Becca to a club called The Zoo. It was fun. Tonight, I'm going to the BU Welcome Party at Bunker Bar. Tomorrow, I have a meeting with my internship advisor in the morning and I'm going on a mandatory boat tour in the afternoon (which I'm excited about). The boat tour will be my first time seeing downtown London. On Saturday, I'm going on a daytrip to Windsor Castle with the BU Social Programme. Sunday's plans are still up in the air, but I'm thinking of maybe going to a market and/or the Indian festival my journalism professor was talking about.
