First Official London Post: Pre-Departure

Dear Blog,

I realized today that I had created you to chronicle my trip to London this coming semester but alas, I haven’t actually written anything about the upcoming trip yet. So here it is: the First Official London Post.
I’ve been thinking about how it’ll be like to live in London a lot recently, and I think it’ll be really helpful to be able to picture myself there.

A couple weeks ago me and the other 14 students from my school going to London were emailed with which flat we’ll be living in in London.  We’re all living in Crawford House, in Farringdon. Here’s a bird’s eye view.

The website for the flat had some more pictures, including a picture of it from the outside.

 
Me and my flat

I seem to be really happy with the living accommodations.

The website for the flat has pictures of some rooms. Here’s the bedroom.

 
Seems a little small, but it looks like I’ll like it.

One big hurdle I’ll have to overcome in moving to London will be learning to use the Tube (or Underground) system.

 
Looks really complicated.

 
Seems like I’ve got a good handle on it, though.

Ps, this guy is totally checking me out.

One of the things I’m looking forward to the most in London is exploring the city.

Seems like I’ll find some pretty cool places.

And let’s be honest, while a part of my time in London maybe will be devoted to studying, a good amount of my time will most likely be spent in pubs, like this.

 
Looks like I’ll be having me-self a good time.

Leaving for London in 32 days! I’m hoping to have some other London-themed blog posts before I go, if I can think of some topics.
