I woke up today and went to class for my first day. I'm taking Organizational Behavior on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 AM to 1:15 PM which was incredibly boring but a total breeze because my teacher let us out around noonish.
There's this British kid in my class that I already dislike only because he is probably the most arrogant person I've ever heard in my life, and he spent most of his time arguing with my teacher an different points in the lecture. He kept bragging about how he was a sports agent and blah, blah, blah. It was really lame.
I'm starting to realize that coping with being so far away from home means winning small victories along the way. Yesterday it was getting my cell phone activated, today it was buying a new super high quality hair straightener for only 25 pounds (that's about 45 or 50 dollars American). It's getting slightly easier, for now at least. I'm still trying to get my wireless internet set up in my room and I'm just way too impatient and it's frustrating me.
Me and Jeff went and bought groceries today which consisted of bread, fish sticks, and like ten cans of canned ravioli and Spaghetti O's. I'm kind of concerned about the kind of diet I'm going to have while I'm here so I'm trying to at least get one good meal in per day.
Oh! Yesterday me and Jeff walked for about five hours seeing a ton of really cool stuff like Abbey Road, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, to name a few. I have the pictures right here, it just kind of sucks that a lot of them are cut off because they're too big for the blog. If you want any of the pictures that aren't cut off let me know:
And you think gas is expensive in the United States?
Random church on the way to Abbey road.
Statue outside that same church.
Abbey road! (For dad)
The famous Abbey road crosswalk. (For dad)
Me crossing Abbey road. (For dad)
I walked out of the Westminster subway and I literally found this right behind me.
Huge.
One of the best shots I got of it.
The houses of Parlament.
Another shot of the houses of Parlament.
Winston Churchill. Big pimpin'.
Sign for the world's most famous church.
Westminster Abbey. Freaking huge.
Dang.
Memorial outside the Westminster school.
The same memorial.
The Westimster school.
A garden in the park near Buckingham Palace.
Fountain in the park near Buckingham Palace.
Princess Diana Memorial walkway.
Yep, it really is that way.
One of the many golden gates outside Buckingham Palace.
The Queen's royal garden.
The Queen's crib. Buckingham Palace.
Buckingham Palace and the 45,000 pound solid gold statue for Queen Victoria.
Too bad that can't fit in my carry on for my flight home.
See that guard? Those are the only guards in the entire country that are licensed to carry firearms. Yes, that's an UZI and yes he will shoot you if you act a fool.
Kind of looks like the location in the first Mortal Kombat movie where Johnny Cage has that showdown with Scorpion. Yeah...
Burial site for Frederick the Duke of York.
I bet he was a cool guy.
Super sweet building. I don't know what it's for though.
The Canadian hangout.
Those are all the pictures I have so far. I'm eventually going to get my video camera up and running so I'll be able to upload some videos.
I have to go now and figure out my wireless internet. Bye for now, I miss you all.

Nice pics yo, I see to have only taken pics of the Burberry flagship and my friends barfing while I was in London.
haha, sounds wonderful.
Mike, see if you can change the pictures on your blog to landscape instead of portrait. Don't ask me how.
Michael, thanks for the pictures of Abbey road. The Beatles named their final 1969 album, Abbey Road, after the street where the studio is located (the recording studio would only be named Abbey Road).
Abbey Road is the eleventh official album recorded by The Beatles. Although its release preceded that of the song "Let It Be", it was the last album to be recorded. It was released on September 26, 1969 in the United Kingdom and October 1, 1969 in the United States. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was the engineer and Tony Banks, tape operator. It is regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, somewhat ironically, as the band was barely operating as a functioning unit by this time.

Hey Mike! Yer sis pointed me in your direction... cool blog.
Have you been to St. Paul's Cathedral or the Tate Modern yet?
They are right next to each other, kinda... well, they face each other across the Thames and there is a bridge.
Anyway, I'm going to the TM on Sunday to see the Dali exhibition, so if you wanna come along, that would be cool! Hit me up if you wanna join us.
