I think I'm going to have two entries today.
This morning I went to the English Department induction. The associate adviser for the English Department, Dr. Bari, was the sweetest women ever. She seemed like she knew what she was talking about and gave us a lot of useful information.
I'm taking Representing London: The 18th Century, a level 5 course, and Literatures in Time, Texts and Contexts from the eighth to sixteenth century, a level 4 course. I have to do some reading beforehand for each class, which I didn't know before this induction. i have to buy course packs also.
The English Department seems really strict about turning things in on time. There is a big penalty if you submit it even a few minutes late. Also, if you miss more than two classes you're dismissed from the class. Dr. Bari gave us a lot of information about libraries on and off campus (for example the British Library has every book everrrr) and info about local plays and different things to see for the arts.
Today I have to figure out what I'm doing about a cell phone because at this point it's starting to get inconvenient not to have one. In about a half hour I'm meeting some girls to go into central London (mind the gap!) to see all of the famous sights for the day. Maybe I'll post some pictures when I update again tonight!
Yesterday's post was pretty depressing and it seemed like I was homesick, but I'm really not and I really do like it here. :)
