D'oh!

I am safe and sound in London. The only strange thing thus far has been the British Family in front of us on the airplane had a life sized Homer Simpson doll. I thought that was very peculiar for several reasons none of which I have to time to get into.
The dorms are much homier than I expected. Not exactly like nicer, but more cozy. We have a great location close to grocery stores, cafes, Indian restaurants, and this very internet cafe.
Last night we explored Leicester and Tralfagar squares. Today we have our first class, I start research, and we are going to our first show. I am very excited to jump in and get started. My research is at National Theatre so I will be walking across the Waterloo Bridge and then on the Queen's Way along the Thames. If I get lost, I will get lost in style.
Note to Mom and Dad- Of course, I won't get lost and if I do, it's a very safe area. And as Amanda knows, I am well versed in Karate and can protect myself (aka hit first and run).
