Settling In

My posts have noticeable diminished since I first arrived (sorry Mom!) due to my burgeoning social and class life. If I'm in trouble now, after only three weeks, I don't know what's going to happen when I hit the three month period... Bad News.  Bear with me.

I spent this past weekend "recovering" from my first round of UCL classes by doing anything but reading, photocopying, or figuring out classes.  To start our weekends, on Wednesdays, we head to the "Pleasure Lounge" (such an awful name) at UCL for Sports night and the cheapest drinks in London.  This will, and has already become our tradition.  On Friday, friends and I visited the club Vendome where we had a "table" and a bottle of Vodka waiting for us (the best perk of being a girl).  Heaven forbid you pour your own drinks (so they have someone do it for you...  Does it get better than that?)

At nine the next morning I awake to Christina dragging me out of bed (not the ideal wake-up call) telling me to answer the door.... and find Alex who decided to fly into London for the weekend.  Biggest/best SURPRISE ever!  So in a valiant effort of rallying (on everyone's part) we spent the day walking through Hyde park and browsing the old books and bric-a-brac at Portobello Market.  The rest of the weekend was filled with walking through London, fabulous dinners (and fish n chips), and exploring the fabulous night life.  I couldn't imagine a better weekend with my "wolf pack" (reference: "The Hangover").
