First week of classes!

Well.. I am day three into my classes and If I can make through British Studies alive I will be more than happy! Classes run Monday through Thursday to encourage travel on the weekends, which is awesome but because of that schedule we cram a lot of work into our little week which has shown to already be quite stressful! Other than classes we have had a two dance traditional dance groups come in and show us dances that were performed many years ago which has been a lot of fun to watch and then attempt to learn ourselves.. fail ahaha.
I ventured into town on my own today for the first time for a couple reasons but the main one being because the wifi here it just terrible some days. The manor is so large and the wifi is in such high demand constantly it crashes often, which is frustrating when you have research to do and homework that has to be turned in online. I also went for just some me time, we are starting to realize pretty quick going to school with 170 kids, living among one another including professors and staff, going to class, and hanging out all in the same building is closing in pretty fast. The past few days I find myself going to a spot in the manor or like today heading to town just have some coffee and relax
Even with all of these adjustments it is truly amazing to live in such a beautiful place!

Now let me bring up some of the things you hear about England "it always rains".. now let me tell you, it does. I swear you wake up to the most beautiful day ever, you go to class that has A HUGE WINDOW in it and then you go outside after class and there are puddles EVERYWHERE and clouds in the sky, like WHAT WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN … it's a mystery
"the grass is always greener on the other side" ( I don't think this has anything to do with England) It's super green.. so thats cool I guess.
Thats all I've got…

GUESS WHAT!?

I'm going to LONDON tomorrow!!!

p.s here is some of that dancing (it only got better)

Sooo until next time! 

All my love from across the pond,
