I haven't updated my adventures in probably a week or so...so let me fill you in!!
My mom left today from London! I miss her so much. We had such a great time exploring London and seeing Nottingham where I will be at school. I felt so bad that I couldn't spend more time with her in Nottingham since I was busy getting to know my housemates and doing Welcome activities at school. So mom, if you are reading this, I miss you and can't wait to see you and Daddy in December! Hope you had a safe flight home!
But, England is SO much fun. I love it. I have met so many amazing people that live in my house. There are about 32 of us. There are about 5 other people from America here which is nice to have a "familiar face" and to not feel all alone. But school still hasn't started yet, classes start on Monday...and I haven't recieved my schedule yet, so hopefully that all falls into place! But Nottingham is amazing. I've been going to some of the Welcome Week events...even though it is aimed more towards the "Freshers" it is still fun. My friend Carrie and I might try joining the Rowing group. That will be interesting...as all of you know I'm not really into sports or anything...but hey! Why not try something new, right? :)
Also! My new friend Christian also goes to Nottingham Trent. He goes to NAU with me normally but since we are both in Nottingham we have been hanging out grabbing lunch and he has been showing me around the city a little bit. It's so funny we had no idea who each other were until we came here! It is such small world. It is nice to have friends to go on little adventures with, though. If I had to be totally alone I would be so scared!
All of our housemates have been going out a lot! The night life here is pretty fun. It is different then back home...the girls here seem to dress so...shall we say...scandalous? Haha One of the girls we have become friends with refers to their skirts as "belt skirts." I feel like that pretty much sums up how some girls dress here. Totally not used to that. It is so fun being able to go out to clubs and bars since I can't back in the States. But I feel like since I can now...it isn't that big of a deal. We are all still going to celebrate my 21st the "American" way though ;).
That is a little update from here! I've been learning so much and school hasn't even started yet.
Until next time! xoxo
P.S. I'm a little nervous because I'm getting used to the fact that they drive on the left side of the road here. I can't wait till I get back to Arizona and it's going to be weird that everyone is driving on the right! Ahhh! Oh and if you want to look at pictures just check out my FB :)
Miss everyone so much <3
