SwanZEE

I am finally here!

After one delayed flight, that made me miss my connecting flight, which had me board a later plane to then miss my ten a.m bus, I am here!

As soon as I arrived to Heathrow it really hit me that I had no idea what was ahead of me. I get off the plane, past customs to find no one waiting for me.... Until I realized that I was at terminal four and (thank goodness I read the whole email)needed to get to terminal three. I must have forgotten how big Heathrow airport is! I managed to take two bags (120 lbs) down to the train that takes me to the terminal I needed. Took an eternity. Once there I saw a girl with Swansea written on her shirt and was so happy! She took me to my group that would be riding the bus back to Heathrow. Right away a girl from Canada and I hit it off, and I also met a girl from Germany :) the four and a half hour bus ride wasn't bad, although I was starting to get sleepy I enjoyed the green scenery and how the bus driver was driving on the opposite side of the road :)

We arrived to the University around 7 p.m. I got my dorm keys and unpacked. I share two bathrooms with a shower with around ten other people. It's not that bad though. I have yet torun into anyone, but it's only my first night. I get a sink in my room with a mirror which I'm so happy about!

  1. Skype soon? Mia has already been crying about you! She says that you promised you'd be to ALL her games! We went to the corn maze and Mia thought if you went in the corn you'd get captured by zombies and vampires (my fault) some stuff I have to tell and I need you to tell me if it's good or bad because I can't decided! Also Mia wants to Skype with you!
    Well hope your having fun! Tell me how Russian is! ;) miss you!
