Woke up in London yesterday...

I have officially been in England for 5 days now and I cannot get enough of it. I love turning around each corner and finding something new and amazing to revel at. So far I have been to London pretty much everyday. I am literally having the best time of my life, hands down (sorry America). :)
So as for my classes, I start tomorrow. Every other day I am in a class- either Exploring Cultural London (which is tom) or Museums and Galleries. I am so excited for these classes, fyi. The only thing that sucks is that they are taught by the same prof- and both classes are essentially the same sort of thing :( . I am actually going to visit a few places twice- The National Gallery, The British Museum and a few others. I am not to upset though because the places I am going to twice are huge and I am going to need the extra time there. I do kind of wish I was in a different class- just one- so I could switch things up a bit. Some of my friends are going to Stonehenge during class and I am JEALOUS. But good news is there are open seats during those trips so I can e-mail that prof and still attend. I do have to pay around 45 pounds though, oh well. It will be beyond worth it in all honesty. 

Exciting news for the day (1): I made my way to my beloved Fleet street today! I have been dreaming about visiting England in general since I can remember but after I saw Sweeney Todd, I fell in love- in a weird way. Long story short, I ate a deelish meat pie and sadly did not find the alleged house of Sweeney Todd. Thing is I was not prepared to go there today so I did not look up the address. They apparently do not have it labeled on the "said" house. What rubbish.  I was sad indeed when I found out I was not going to be able to find the place today while I was there. After researching at home- I found the address is 186 Fleet st. I will go there and I will take pictures and I will love it. 

Exciting news for the day (2): I booked my trip (by train and then ferry) to Ireland today with a few other girls. I am super excited to go to Ireland. I cannot even imagine the beauty that will be there for my little eyes to soak up. :D

I'm off now to bed- I have a long day ahead of me for class tomorrow, a full day- from 10:30 am to 4 pm of roaming around London with my class and prof. I best be nodding off. 

Cheers~
