The Ship has landed!

Cheerio everyone!

Having been in the UK since Wednesday evening, I thought now might be the proper time to get these posts started! I knew that if I did not commence in the beginning of my term, then I would most certainly not remain on track (although there is still no guarantee :)
Things seem to be going pretty well so far. I am definitely still adjusting to being a continent away and the transition I am sure will be a bit difficult, but already I am feeling the slightest bit more at ease with everything.
We arrived at Norwich after a great deal of travel drama. Having to deal with flight delays, uncomfortable seats, missing the bus because of the flight delay, and the inevitable jet lag was not a pleasantry. I fell asleep Wednesday evening at 7:30 only to wake up wide awake at 10:00. I of course was panicking because I thought it was in the morning and I needed to get ready for orientation, but when I drew back my curtains, you've guessed it!, I realized that it was still pitch black.
Before I went to bed, however, I attempted to use my converter, but that too was against me as it fizzled and temporarily took out the light and destroyed the converter. Luckily I have since put everything right and once again have a somewhat luminous room.
The past couple of days have been filled with orientation activities and I have met several people from the States, but also Australia, China, Japan, Korea, and Canada.
Tomorrow we get a tour of the city and hopefully I will post more later.
I miss you all like whoa and still can't really believe that I am here.
Hope y'all are enjoying the last remaining days of freedom before school starts!
