I, luckily, got into a class about architecture in London and a class about Britain, I can\u2019t wait to begin those two courses and learn more about the history and culture in London. I also have no Friday classes and my earliest class is at 10 am, and I couldn\u2019t be more excited for the opportunity this gives me to travel around London as well as take weekend trips to other places.<\/p>\n<p>As an added bonus, as part of orientation, you could purchase an afternoon boat cruise today, Saturday, on the Thames for a discounted price. I, along with a few of my newfound friends did this, and it was amazing. We were given afternoon tea aboard the boat and the tour lasted about two and a half hours cruising up and down the Thames. It was so beautiful, and we got to see a lot of the sights along the river. My personal favorite was the Tower Bridge. I can\u2019t wait to go back and actually visit it on land.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the last two days have been going much better than the first couple, and I am much happier that I am here, however, I still don\u2019t have my luggage. But, I have been able to borrow the necessary items from others until it does arrive. I am so thankful that there are others who are willing to help me out and I don\u2019t know what I would be doing without them. And with the week coming to a close, I am excited to begin classes and really start my adventure in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was the last day of orientation, we got to see what classes we got in and when they are.
