First Day of Class(es?)

Well today was the first official day of classes but instead of the three I usually should go to I only ended up in one since one professor had to postpone and the other doesn't meet until next week. Waking up for a 9am class was hard to say the least, the jet lag still lingers in the back of my mind and setting the alarm for 7:45 London time made me cringe. Finding my way to class was a bit of an adventure having never been to the academic center but me and my roommate made good time and showed up a few minutes early after a few unexpected detours. The academic building is essentially three brownstones where they knocked out a few walls and connected them. However there is only one entrance so it can get a bit confusing if you're class is all the way on the other side from the main entrance. The professor was an extremely nice and knowledgable 65 year old man. The class is called "Europe since 1945" which is not my normal class of interest but it fulfills a humanities requirement and why not brush up on something other than American history?

After class, I began planning what I hope to be an adventure this weekend in Paris. There's a music festival on Saturday so we're trying to make it to Paris for two days; one to be tourists and the other for the festival! Hopefully that works out and we make it there. After the gym, me and my roommate (I'll just call him by name from now on, Kevin) are set to go out and explore a new area of London. We've yet to determine which area, but there's enough to see that I'm sure we'll find ourselves somewhere new and exciting!

Until next time!
