Orientation Day 1

Today felt long. We got lots of information on living in London and met a bunch of the professors. It was a nice start, and tomorrow i think is going to be even more exciting. I really cannot wait to see Troilus and Cressida again. I really did love it.

I'm just worried. And i have to keep reminding myself it's ok to be worried, everyone else is. I just think, i expected it to be different. I mean, when you're a freshman in college, everyone is in the same boat because no one knows each other. I was expecting this experience to be the same...but actually most students came here with other kids from their school. A group of 5 came here together. So i'm finding it difficult to feel...apart of the group. But, i know once we start classes and get to know each other things will change. I just don't like this shy and uncomfortable feeling right now. But i'm sure it will evolve eventually. I do really like the people i've gotten to know though, and i think i'm going to get along well with everyone...it just takes time.

I'm also obviously worried about classes, and the level i'm at compared to everyone else. But i'm always worried about that. I just have to continually remind myself that we're learning. It's a learning experience. Dad reminded me that i really just have to do the best that i can, i mean what else can i do, right? But again, we'll see.

Right now i'm going to do some reading. I'm sure tomorrow is going to be lots more exciting. This time instead of being high up, we're going to be standing in the middle part of the Globe theatre. I'll literally be leaning on the stage watching them. I'm so excited. We're going to have to get there early.

Good night,

Love T

ps. Isn't that a great picture. While we were all leaving LDA someone noticed this on one of the flats we passed. It's right on the corner of Kensington square. Such a beautiful vine.
