I ordered my first beer. And my second, ad my third, adn ym fourht....


Today I had a registration meeting for study abroad students, and in the afternoon we went on a bus tour of London. We drove downtown with a tour guide who told us all about the different parts of the city. He pointed out important buildings, and we stopped at the Tower Bridge and at Buckingham Palace. I took a picture with one of the guards at Buckingham Palace. It was weird. I fell asleep on the ride back to Queen Mary. I must still not be used to the time difference here; I was pretty tired today. This evening I went out with a few people I met to a bar called H-something. We watched the Dolphins play the Ravens and I ordered a deal for a burger and a beer for £3.50, or roughly five dollars. London is supposed to be very expensive, but because the exchange rate between the pound and the dollar is so good right now, the trip should be more reasonable. Right now, the pound is worth about $1.45, comparable to about two dollars when I applied for the program, so I definitely got lucky.

P.S. I promise I'm not going to update this thing every day.
