First Day Of Class

So today was the first day of classes for me. I went to Contemporary Social Thought. It was really good. What I like about LSE is that you can kind of "shop" around for your classes. I don't actually have to have a finalized schedule until October 19. So I have 2 weeks to go to as many different classes as I want to figure out which ones I really want to take. I'm going to a couple this week that I probably won't take but I just want to see what they are about and meet the professors. I really liked today's class though. The professor is a Foucault expert and had some really good and interesting things to say.

I'm beginning to get to know the people in my program better too which is good. I talked with this girl Ilaria for a long time. She is so sweet. We had a lot of fun talking today. And we went to the Garrick, which is one of the cafes on campus and had tea. We sat with a bunch of other Sociology students and just talked about classes, professors, and life in general. It was really fun. Everyone seems so nice.

I decided that I didn't want to take the bus or tube home tonight and so I walked! It was a perfect evening for walking, it was kind of cold with a bit of a breeze,but not too cold. And no rain, which is good. It's been raining on and off the last couple of days. It's exactly 2 miles home and it took me like 50 minutes, mostly because I walked slowly through some parts of town just looking around. I mean, I walked past The Royal Courts of Justice, St Pauls' Cathedral, over the Millenium Bridge, Globe Theatre and caught glimpses of the Eye and Tower Bridge. I couldn't walk fast! It was really good though I think I might do it more often than I take transportation. Although knowing me I will have to take the bus or tube in the morning because I will be runnig late. :) But maybe on the way home every day.

Tomorrow I am going to a class called Cultural Theory. I'm not sure I will take it but I want to see what it is about, it sounds really interesting. I might end up switching, who knows. Also, I need to keep working on that to-do list. There are just so many things I need to do to get settled here. I'm planning on getting a cell phone tomorrow and printing off my Enrollment Verification so I can get a bunch of things done. It's so time consuming! I did get an email from someone from Hillsong London which is exciting and hopefully I can get into a Connect Group in the next couple of weeks.

Also, the internet is out in my room again. I hope they get it fixed soon. I hate that it comes and goes. I want to be able to video chat with people soon. I will keep you all posted.

It's almost midnight. I should probably go to bed. Night!
