Look Left Before Right

I am getting quite good at riding the bus I have only missed my stop once this week. Although I still am having trouble crossing the street on a daily basis. Everything is opposite so when crossing you need to look left before right...many times I look both ways and think I am okay but then nearly get run over!!! Lately I have been waiting until locals cross and cross like within one foot behind them because I figure they know better than I. Don't worry if I get run over it won't happen on weekends because its right before left all throughout Europe...the UK just likes to be different.

I had my Retail Marketing class today and its my only class that I am really worried about. It seems extremely easy just like all the others but the Professor was so rude to be I couldn't believe it. I don't know if its the whole American thing or the whole international student thing but its really getting old. I asked about the final assessment since it was the only class that wasn't posted for us and listed as TBA. She said she didn't know and didn't know when she would know either.. I said o ok and said I had one more question and she rolled her eyes and turned her back on me!!! What??? She was the one that said she would be happy to answer questions after class?! Whatever...

Today I met up with some random British Grad Student who was selling his old books I got my 50 pound Finance book for only 10 pounds which I was so excited about. So far I have three out of five of my books and it has cost 80 pounds...not to shabby considering I usually spend over 200 dollars a quarter on used books.

Right now I am busy booking my London Tours. We are all booking them at the same time with the same pick up spot but with different payments so I'm really hoping that we are all on the same tour? I'm not sure so I will try calling in an hour but none of us can afford to book everyones ticket and get paid back next month...especially since we would have like 1000 pounds to carry around and no where to put it.

Here is what we are doing on our London Trip in October:
-Friday: Arrive at 11:30am Get some Lunch, Go on the London Eye, Dinner, Wicked
-Saturday: 8:45am get picked up for all day London experience...see where the Bond Movie was filmed, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Big Ben, Trafalga Square, Buckingham Palace changing of the guards, St Pauls Cathedral, Tower of London, Crown of Jewels and a bunch more places that I cannot remember. The tour was on a special for 9 hours its 60 dollars which isn't bad at all.
-Sunday: We are going to spend wandering and going to Roe Market and leave at 5:30pm

So it is a real quick trip but we want to go again in early December for the Christmas Markets and maybe see Hampton Court ( I really really want to go there it was where King Henry the VIII lived) and Kensington Palace.

Yesterday I got a really good work out in and I was the ONLY GIRL working out in the weights area. I don't know if thats how it is normally but the guys kept giving me odd looks! HA! Sure I hear new fat American jokes everyday (in fact I heard one today in Retail Marketing) but hey at least we know how to work it off!
