1st post from London

Hey everyone. I managed to get in fine from back home. I got in at 7am London time to 2am back home time. My flat is amazing and huge. It is 2 floors. On the first floor is a 1/2 bath (so no shower) a really large living room with 2 couches and a tv. Then is our kitchen which is also nice. Except we only have like 6 dishes and there are 6 of us so we are washing them quite a lot. The fridge is like hidden so it looks like one of the cabinets..but oh no its the fridge.

The only bad thing about the flat is that currently we don't have heat and it is freezing in here. So we all tend to make sure we have on some type of sweater or something while we are here. The time you feel it most is when you wake up in the morning.

On the 7th I had my meeting with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO). The place is only about a mile away from my flat so I'll be walking every day and saving some money on the tube. I'm working in the marketing department helping out with stuff for the website, some brouchures, data entry and the like. They also said they normally need help at the performances so I hope to get to go to like a ton of them. Check out their website www.rpo.co.uk

I also am taking a theatre class while I am here. We have to like read a different play almost every week except for when we have field trips. We are going to visit backstage at the National Theatre, getting a tour of the Royal Opera House, and a tour of the Globe. Aside from those field trips we are also being taken on 4 different Wednesday nights so a play. They are all going to be straight plays...so unfortunately not musicals but I think that's still ok by me.

My schedule is as follows (in London time)
Monday: 9:30-5 work
Tuesday: 9:30-5 work
Wednesday: 10-1 class 2-5 work
Thursday: 9:30-5 work
Friday 9:30-1 work

And then I am done for the weekend to hopefully go traveling and whatnot. Going to try and hit up a bunch of places that Heather and I are not going to after I'm done in London.

If any of you have skype and want to chat let me know your skype name. Mine is billie.nachlis. I know creative right?

And that is about it for now. I haven't taken like any pictures yet. I know I really should be but there is just so much going on that it is like the last thing on my mind. Hope everyone is well back home. Keep me updated on what is happening.
