London weather

I've been pretty busy trying to get all settled in and adjusted to classes. Thursday morning I had my first class. It was long, four hours, but I like the professor very much. You can tell she really loves her job in marketing. I also had an interview thursday afternoon with EUSA, the company that is in charge of my internship placement. The people there were very friendly and said that this summer's students had an excellent time interning at the company I will be with. I also had to run around and pick up my textbooks and whatnot. Luckily the library owns multiple copies of my book so I didn't need to buy it, seems like it would have been a waste of money to buy a book I'll only use for 5 weeks.

All in all, everything is going quite well here. The weather has been rather nasty. According to the news, we'll have a lot more rain and wind coming this weekend making this past August one of the darkest and wettest on record. I don't mind the cold, wind and rain though, not yet anyways. It's sort of refreshing. I could do without the rain. Actually, my hair could do without the rain, I don't mind it. It's just nice to feel autumn again. It's been about 3 years since I've actually been able to feel and see the seasons change. It's early still but some of the trees are beginning to drop their leaves here.

Last night we had a 'start of semester' party at a nightclub in the area of London I spent most of the summer. It was alright. BU rented out a VIP room which was really nice, but we didn't get to meet any locals that way. We spent a few hours there and then we went to The Court,a pub I went to a lot over the summer. The girls all really liked it there since it's all young local people.

This morning I slept in a little since my class got postponed until next Friday and then I headed down to Starbucks to get some of my marketing reading done. It's been raining all day so we've all been laying kind of low. Most of the girls decided to go out tonight though. They wanted to go back to The Court. It is like a hurricane outside so I opted to stay home. It's realllly windy and POURING rain. They are going to be soaked by the time they get home.

I'm really hoping the weather will at least clear up a little bit this weekend so I can go find my internship place. I was supposed to have the interview this coming Friday, but I had to have them reschedule it since my class got moved to that date. Now I'm not sure when my interview will be, but I think EUSA is trying to make it for some afternoon this week, so I'd really like to know where it is I'm going.

Well, that's pretty much all that's been going on. Even though the weather hasn't been great, I'm still super happy to be back here.
