I'm really here!

I have been in London since Wednesday morning (it's now Saturday) and I already feel like I have been here forever (but not in a bad way). Since we have been here I have mostly just been attending orientation, and desperately trying to figure out where I am (and how the public transportation system works). My goal is to stop looking like a dumb tourist on the tube (the subway in London), have my card ready and know how to get on and off and most importantly how to get from my dorm in Chelsea to my classes in Bloomsbury (its about a 40 minute commute). 

But I made it, I am here and just to prove it this is my touristy London phone both picture. Lets see I feel like I don't have that much to report yet because of all my time has been spent at orientation, and all the pictures I took and put on facebook are just mostly of pretty buildings. We are in Chelsea which is a super posh area (when you tell Lodoners you live in Chelsea they sort of look at you like how?/why?). The houses around here cost millions of pounds and therefore I can't really afford to shop around here. I'm definitely still in the adjustment phase in regards to friends and stuff but in general I'm optimistic about the experience. Also have an internship interview next week, and will be spending 2 (and a half every other week) days a week interning, only 2 days at class and still have every Friday free!

The only other exciting news thus far is for my fellow theatre geeks, though I think almost everyone will appreciate this..
Last night I went to a show the Globe Theatre (where Shakespeare wrote/acted), they have recently re-done it in exact replica of what the theatre looked like then. We went to "The Merry Wife's of Windsor" as groundlings  meaning we stood for the entire show. Which was exhausting and I probably should have worn real shoes  but definitely worth it. So I'll end this 1st London post with some Globe pictures...

The top of the stage

The outside of the Globe

 The seating area for the "upper class" but us groundlings had to stand below them

This last one is mostly to show how awesome the design of the set/stage area was

And with that I will you leave you, as this post took entirely too long to write and I already have much, much more to report, so I will write again soon
