Week one

Besides the more walking I have been doing since I’ve been here compared to at home,  I hadn’t gotten to get a good work out in since I’d been here until Wednesday. It felt so good to get to work out and mix it up. The only thing that was sore for me the first couple of days was my feet so although I know was working more than my feet it’s nice to be able to feel my other muscles have been worked as well. I made a very good friend who lives only an hour away from my home town so I’m excited about that because I’ll be able to visit her a lot next year when we get back to the States. Also, she has a serious boyfriend like I do and we can bond over that rather than wanting to go out and meet boys here. I have been shopping for fun on my free time but I shop just for fun not to buy. I’ve been trying to been frugal with my money so I went to the grocery to get food that will last but I went a little overboard and have been a few times so I now have food that is starting to pile up and I haven’t eaten it so I’m not letting myself buy any more food until I finish what I have. My friend Heather and I tried meeting people at the British museum but we ended up at the National Art Gallery so we decided to stay and explore there because it started down pouring outside. My stay here so far has been good but I want to learn as much as I can while I’m here so I think the fashion frenzy culture shock has already hit me and is starting to leave and now I’m more open for some educational experience.
