My first week in London will be one that I will never forget. I made it to one of the most beautiful countries there is for the first time, I’ve made a whole new group of friends and classmates from all across the United States, and I have bonded with a group of friends in the last week faster than I have ever with anyone. We six have become so close that we consider ourselves family away from our family. We can literally talk to each other about anything and everything. All this transpired even before the first day of classes.
My first day of classes felt like I was back at home and I was literally dreading that I had to be in a class room once again, but then I realized that I was in London and that I should enjoy my time while I’m here. So the first day of class wasn’t all that bad. As a class we all introduced ourselves one by one and also by talking to one another for two minutes. It gave us just enough time to get to know a brief background of each other. After we finished the meet and greet we watched a ballet video, which surprisingly was real interesting. Tuesday we went to the Royal Opera House which was pretty amazing. We got to see every inch of the Opera house, even backstage where they showed how they create and build the stages. My favorite part of the tour would probably be seeing where they actually build the stages and the lift that they use to bring down most of the parts to the stage.
After the Royal Opera House tour we did the Harry Potter scavenger hunt around London. It was a breeze when we first started the tour until most of the class started to get restless and that is when the beast within everyone started to rear its ugly head. Overall, with the help of me and some classmates, it was a success closer to the end. Everyone noticed that they had to help out in order for our class time to be over. After the tour and not getting enough sleep in the last couple of days after getting to London, I was beat and needed some rest. Wednesday the class did a fitness run which really loosened my muscles up afterwards because I was literally cramping up during our run. I haven’t been drinking sufficient enough of water since I been here so it could be caused by that. Later that night the family and I went to a bar on Baker Street called The Globe. It was a good night until on our way back we got lost! It was a tragedy! But luckily we all had enough pounds to get back home.
Thursday, Natalie and I went to Bath to see the last Roman bath ever. It was pretty amazing to see where they originally took their baths how much different their life was compared to what we have now. Later that night we went Fortune’s Green to The Lion’s bar and had couple of drinks before calling it a night. Friday and Saturday was the weekend and the family and I went to Camden market to do some shopping and the bar 3 and 1 right across the road from Camden Market. While Saturday night was a recuperation day and just stayed in for the day until late that night a couple of us went out to a gentlemen’s club for a little bit which was little odd hahaha.
