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......
