Three Months In London

Hey guys!

I finally received the schedule for my time in London! It all looks pretty darn exciting!
Also, we got our room assignments. I will be living with a flat, along with four others. There are three people in my room alone, so its basically like a dorm. My friends Robin and Lauren and I are sharing a room. Its cool that I know them, but its TERRIBLE THAT THEY BOTH SNORE! But no need to fear.... my moms getting me wax earplugs. And if I am too annoyed, I can go to the living room and sleep on the couch. Basically, I might be spending the three months sleeping on a couch.
This is where I will be staying......

In The Beginning

Hello everyone!

I know it is a little early to be starting a blog, but I am very excited for my London trip! On this blog I am going to post (hopefully) daily on what I have been doing throughout the day, cool things I see, experiences of being in a different country, and so on.

I will be updating with photos as well, but I think I will also have a flickr (www.flickr.com) or photobucket (www.photobucket.com) account for mass photos that I take.

ANYWAYS, I am very exciting to be going to London, updating this blog, and getting ready!

oh and also.....
to the right of the page you can "follow" my blog, which allows you to comment on my posts. SO DO IT.... follow me! but there is a catch... I guess you have to sign up to have a gmail (google mail) account to follow me. Its quick to sign up though and I would really like to be able to comment to you and have comments from you guys. thanks!


Love, Kathy
