It is now the beginning of our third week here and I am just now updating you all on the happenings of week one. I hope that gives you some sort of indication of how fast-paced our time here has been so far, and I hate that. I wish it would slow down a bit, because I am loving every minute of this experience and I do not want it to end. Already, we have done so much here. I have been checking off my bucket list items left and right.
The first weekend after we got here we got to take a bus tour of London on Sunday. On the tour, we got to stop and take pictures of Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Tower Bridge, some of the most famous London landmarks. The next night we went to the theatre to see the critically-acclaimed play War Horse. It was a wonderful production that had a few of us in tears by the end. The following Wednesday, a few of us went ice skating near the Liverpool Street tube station with some other students from FSU. The rink was small but it somehow fit all of us comfortably and we had tons of fun skating. (I can't speak for the other GLSers but it helped to get all of my nervous energy out the day before our first Statistics test.)This was the perfect first week and it all felt so unreal. The pictures cannot even translate the magic that is London, but here are a few to aid your imagination.
