Mobiles, Crisps, Trainers and Jumpers

Hello dearest family and friends!

I have arrived in London safe and sound and decided that the best way to keep you all updated would be via a blog (seeing that the time difference is difficult). 

I am LOVING my new flat and have begun to put my room together. I am upstairs with the kitchen (of course you are, Kristin) and the living room that has a wall of windows overlooking the city and it's beautiful! My roommates, Mariel and Christina, each have a bedroom downstairs. I am within walking distance of the DLR (train) station and there is a bus stop outside our door! I have learned about oyster cards (for using all public transportation) and how to properly say jacket and cell phone (jumper and mobile respectively). 

When I first arrived I was able to meet up with Christina and Mariel (my roommates) at the airport and we cabbed it back to our flat. Ethan was then able to come over and we all enjoyed a day of shopping and walking around our neighborhood. 

Currently I am sitting in the pub across the street eating pea and mint soup and using the free wifi. I will take pictures when there are fewer people here and it is less awkward haha

Love,
