12:28PM RST

It has only been a few days, but much has happened. We only spent about 12 hours, which was mostly spent sleeping, in London on our way to Cambridge, but we did drive by Parliament and Big Ben. I cannot wait to go back in May for a real opportunity to see the city. Much of our time in Cambridge was spent exploring the city and its many colleges as well as meeting many of Craig's friends. It was a great side trip to pass time before coming back here. I arrived at around 6PM and the other students began to arrive or return within the next 2 hours. I am living with someone from London, New Jersey, Finland, Lithuania, and a French couple. I believe there are two other people who have yet to arrive.

Yesterday was our orientation which was very interesting. The rest of our day was spent eating lunch, getting school ID pictures taken, opening bank accounts, etc... Afterward, we all went to a French restaurant called Buffet-Grill. The meal that most chose and was suggested was 16€90 and you had a choice of an appetizer, a main course, and it also included a desert buffet. I had foie gras and duck which were both wonderful. Many of the students, including myself, then went to one of the larger apartments to mingle for a while before going out to a club where we stayed until about 3AM.

Not sure how to spend my weekend, but I have been doing laundry and need to get some food. Yes, very exciting; I know. However, I will need to put up some pictures soon from the past week.
