Introductions

I know I haven't introduced things properly. Partly cos I've been busy, partly cos I'm just starting to get to know things/people. So now that I think I can manage it, I shall make a few introductions (this is not to say that I'm not busy. I currently have about 3 pieces of tute work to complete, but it's nearly midnight and so it can wait till tmrw.

This is London.

This map shows most of the city, or Zone 1 in the public transport system.

The red rectangle is where I spend most of my time in the city. Zoomed in map below.

(1) is the Waterloo Campus where most of my classes are.

(2) is the Strand Campus where I have one class a week.

(3) is the Maughan Library, which is pretty amazingly old.

The green line is the part of the Strand that I often walk along, and it turns into Fleet Street somewhere between the Courts of Justice (the light blue blob) and Chancery Lane (the yellow road labelled B400)

The purple blob is the closest Apple Store.

Friends

Berlin

She's probably the one you guys have heard about most because I've hung out with her the most. She's on exchange from Melbourne Uni. She's fun to hang out with, funny, and really sweet.

Teresa

She's also on exchange from Melbourne Uni. She's a English Literature student. She will probably be the one wanting to go sightseeing together.

Susan

Susan is ALSO from Unimelb on exchange. She's so funny. I feel like I should just be walking around with my phone mic on record just so I can catch all the funny things she says. And it's the way she says it as well.

"Why is she making friends with only Australians?"

Well no, it's just that we formed our little group pretty early on (like on the 3rd day or something) because  we had Study Abroad Welcome Meetings and stuff during orientation week, and so we always took the train/bus together and got to know each other better. Here are some other non-Aussie people.

Michelle

Michelle is another funny one. She's Singaporean, but from New Zealand, here on exchange. She's funny in the same way that Tim Thong is funny. Same accent and everything, and she can say the funniest things with the straightest face. 

Abigail

Abigail is so cute. She's from Bournemouth. She also has a printer in her room and she has kindly allowed me to use it to print lecture slides. (It's okay, I'm contributing to paper and ink) She lives 4 doors down from me.

Evangeline

A lovely Asian British girl. We just hang out at mealtimes and in people's rooms and she was part of the massive group that went to Platform 9 3/4 a few nights ago.

Lorelle


Lorelle has amazing long wavy blonde hair. She's has a northern accent.

Victoria (Tor)
Tor lives 3 doors down from me. She's the one who inspired me to move the furniture in my room. She's very innocently sweet

Sundeep
Sundeep is hilarious. She's British, her family is from North India. Love her sense of humour!

So there's the general bunch of people that I see around, eat meals with, hang out with, have class with. There are most definitely also a few randoms here and there. I will get photos with the ones that I don't have photos with yet.
