I have mastered the Tube!

I have gotten the Tube system down! I hear that most Londoners use the tube instead of buses and other kinds of transportation. Yesterday was my first time to use the tube alone. And I made it to the Museum of London all by myself! I find the tube to be an interesting place. There are so many people there but no one talks, no one smiles, they just sit looking very depressed while reading the free newspaper they just picked up on their way in.

On Sunday, a few of us girls went to the Regents Street Festival. We did a little shopping, shocking huh? But we got to see this hip-hop/rap group perform while we were there, they were called Lazy Habits, they sounded good but I had no idea what they were saying! It was so much fun getting to experience a British festival. There were food vendors and rides everywhere in the middle of this street in London. I guess they just do it a little different here. Above are a few of the pictures from the festival.

As part of our orientation, we got tickets to a musical! We saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on Tuesday night. My ticket was in the stalls, so I was really close to all the action. I loved it! I think I am going to have to go some of the other musicals around here too.

Mark, the director of my program, told me yesterday that the class I signed up for at LMU was cancelled. Needless to say I was really dissappointed. I did find a math class to take though. It is an upper level class, but I think I will be working with other students on various project throughout the semester so this might be better after all.

This weekend we are all going to Stratford-Upon-Avon. We leave early Friday morning and return on Sunday. This is going to be a fun weekend, we are even going to see A Midsummer Night's Dream!
