Sleeping is cool

The good news ... I'm in London! And it's fab! The first thing I noticed upon springing myself from the airport, bags in tow, was that the weather was terrific. Breezy and chilly. Yesssss.

The bad news ... I have been awake for far too long. I didn't sleep at all on the 10 hour flight (sleeping on planes is not a gift I possess) and then arrived here and was instructed not to sleep. Homegirl say what?? Well, I did get it. I mean, if I got here and crashed my entire sleep schedule would be effed up. Ergo, I toughed it out. Which meeeeans I have now been awake for around 40 hours. Wow. I deserve something for that.

The good news ... the movie selection on the plane was legitimate. And I pretty much love movies, so I kept myself entertained with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 10 minutes of The Back Up Plan (until I turned it off ... don't waste your time), Iron Man 2, Bride Wars, and The Hangover. 

The bad news ... plane food. Enough said. 

The good news ... I'm snug and sound in the albeit cozy (aka teeensy) hotel room, typing up my update and getting ready to SLEEP finally!

The bad news ... I ran out of bad news ... so I guess I'll go back to good news!

After arriving and toting our bags to the hotel, we were given instructions on the rest of our week and our Oyster Card (silly name, yet really convenient) which is the card that gets us on the Tube (the London Underground system, think subway in NY but more quaint and with a British announcer telling you to "Mind the gap") all semester. Tyler and I along with some of our SU homies began to explore Piccadilly Circus and all of the street entertainment and fun sights to see! The line for the London Eye was too long, but I'll definitely be back for that one later in the semester. 

So, basically, I'm safe and alive and enjoying London thus far. Goodnight!
