one week in

After romping around since the 2nd, I've really gotten to love it here. I was warned of homesickness on numerous occasions before I left, but it doesn't seem to be that bad. Classes usually kill the day, but I've enjoyed the random adventures that I've been on so far.

This past weekend was a WashU reunion, and seeing everyone was pretty entertaining. The band of "degenerates" all went to tigertiger, which was such a fun time. The next day, Harrod's was our main destination. I honestly don't see how someone could really accomplish shopping there, but it was rather beautiful (and the food was so delicious).

Sunday's original plan fell through so we pulled out a Frommer's guide and ended up at Covent Garden Market. I was kind of expecting a quaint outdoor market with rows of homemade goods, but it was basically a big outdoor mall. The stores were incredible and the architecture was gorgeous as well. This was our first really sunny day (hopefully more to come!!) so we took advantage by walking to the Waterloo Bridge to watch the sunset. It was quite an incredible view.
