Tea and Crumpets

I have been in London for 10 days now and absolutely adore it! I am living in a student apartment with 7 other girls (all very nice and fun), in the heart of the city by the British Museum. It has been a whirlwind of getting settled, finding my way around the tube, seeing as many sights as possible, consuming Sainsbury-brand cheap wine and htiting every club in Leicester Square, and oh yeah...occasionally going to class.
