Moved In and Explored the Town

I have been having a great few nights. Orientation yesterday was pretty long and not overly helpful but at least I got a tour of the campus. I have met a really fun group of people and I am excited for the british students to start moving in! Went to the grocery store and bought my own alcohol for the first time, three bottles of wine for 12 pounds, pretty good deal. Its nice not having to make Lucas go get it for me ;)

Went out with my group from Eau Claire last night and ordered dominos when we got home. It is a little different over here but better than the caf food. Then woke up early this morning for breakfast and shopping. We explored the town and took lots of picture like tourist. Went to a couple cute stores and found things for pretty inexpensive.

Heading to London tomorrow with the international students at 9. I am excited! 

New friends :) 

The beers are so tastey here and it is fun to experience their culture. Not have to  tip at the bar may be one of the best ways of saving money. It is a fun town with lots to do, I am interesting in exploring more of it.

These next are mainly from our walk into town. Can't say I know what most of the buildings are but they are all so old and gorgeous. 

High Street, where a lot of the pubs and shops are. The road is all cobble stone and there is farmers market every weekend.

Statue of King Arthur 

Farmers market...thats a whole pig.

Selling fresh olive. I want to buy things from the farmers market next weekend. 

The graveyard on campus...kinda creepy but its at pretty walk. We walk through this to get into town. It is only about a 10 minute walk to the center of town. 

Irish cross

Finally got my room cleaned, rearranged, and decorated. It is starting to feel like home.

Bed and new blanket, the sheets that gave us are not the best.

Bookshelf, desk and picture wall. I am really happy I brought so many pictures. It makes it feel more homey. PS look Em you made my wall :)

These two are the view from my window but my camera really didn't do it justice. The landscape here is so pretty and until this afternoon it has been pretty sunny and warm. The weather feels like early spring or late fall. (better than snow and below zero!)

These are my closet and dresses....and my weird closet bathroom. Some things a little strange here but I am getting used to it. 

Will post pictures from London soon
