London Day 1: I'm finally here!

Early Tuesday morning I moved into my flat in London. It is HUGE! We have, by far, one of the largest flats in the pre-arranged flats. (For those of you who don't know, SUAbroad only arranges housing for about 75 students, and these students are known as the "pre-arranged housing" students. The rest have to find their own flats during Orientation week [SU puts them up in a hotel for the week] and they are known as the "independent housing" students. I lucked out and am one of the pre-arranged housing students, so I got to move into my flat earlier than the independent housing students.) About an hour after I arrived, my roommates arrived too! I was so excited to meet them. Quick overview of roommates:

Double Room:
Me!
Katie K.: 20, Junior, Advertising Design major, SU student

Double Room:
Sam: 20, Junior, Public Relations major, Boston University student
Halley: 21, Junior, Advertising/Public Relations major, Arkansas University student

Triple Room:
Aaron, Andrew, and Brant: All Juniors at George Washington University. Not sure what all of their majors are, but one (Aaron) is psychology and one (Andrew) is sports management. I think the other might be business?

So far all of the girls get along really well, and the boys have kindof kept to themselves. Hence why I don't know much about them. After everyone got here, the girls and I decided to make a run to Argos, where we could buy drawers/bins/hangers/etc. for our rooms. I don't like hanging up my clothes, so I had to buy a set of plastic drawers to act like a dresser in my room. When we got back we unpacked, and then headed to an Orientation meeting, which was mildly interesting.

After Orientation, a bunch of the Ireland crew got together with their newly-arrived roommates and went to a pub by the British Museum (appropriately named the 'Museum Bar'). It was a small bar, so we managed to take over since we had at least 40 people. It was really fun even though I was a little sick (I drank water all night) and the bartender hated me (for drinking water all night). Afterwards, we had a bunch of people over to our apartment to hang out and talk, and then we all headed to bed. Overall, a fun night indeed!
