well, as my first full week here has come to an end, i am happy to report that it has gotten better, im finally settling in. all of my initial frustration came when things didn't go according to plan, or at least the plan that i imagined would occur (the plan that everything would be ready for me once i got here, which is a very unrealistic and quite selfish perspective to have). but, i was finally able to get my gym membership, which made me the most happy, i think. i've been meeting new friends along the way, lots more foreign students (mostly from the states) and i've been getting to know my flatmates better as well. the weather has been beautiful, sunny and warm! (i thought i was going into the depressing cold and rain for 4 months, but that hasn't been the case so far). i guess i just bring the sunshine with me :-)
had my first mini-adventure yesterday - took an afternoon trip to blickling hall, one of the Boylen (sp?) houses. The grounds were beautiful, and it was nice to see some of the Norfolk countryside. Aside from that, I've just been planning little trips here and there ... Ireland, Bath/Stonehenge, London. Hopefully I'll get some serious work done this week with the papers that I have due later in the semester - my little plan (me and plans, i know) is to do school work intensively mon-thurs, and then go have fun fri-sun, we'll see how well i do
off to church, not sure how long its going to take me to walk there, but its a nice day out so i dont mind it at all.
miss you all dearly!
