I'm Here!

Finally - I have arrived in London! After a smooth 8-hour flight and an easy navigation through the airport and to Nido, my housing, I am waiting in the lobby to be let into my room. It's a very modern building, and it seems quite nice - I'll post pictures of my room when I get in.

We drove in on the road where my work will be. I didn't spot it, but I am going to take a test-run before Monday morning arrives to make sure I know how to get there. I will be traveling via the Underground to work every day. Also, I plan to explore the area a bit and run some errands. But the only 2 things on my mind right now are unpacking and taking a shower!

I have already met some of the other participants in the program - there were 4 other girls on my flight alone. We took the shuttle from the airport together and started getting to know each other. Everyone seems really nice and has really interesting internships. It's also an internationally-minded group, so everyone has stories of previous travel. I met one girl who is really interested in theatre, so I already found a theatre buddy :).

Overall - a smooth start to a great experience! I miss everyone already.
