Predeparture Post!

So I leave on Sunday night for London (after flying from Fort Myers to Newark), and arrive at 9am London time on Monday. From Heathrow I'll be going to St. Giles Hotel in a suburb of London for my IFSA-Butler orientation (fun fun, after a night of no sleep I have to go to orientation all day!). I imagine I'll be moving into my UCL housing on Wednesday or Thursday. I'm living in a self-catered student house called Astor College. I've heard great things about the house; it's in a great location (on Charlotte St, which is 5 minutes away from both the UCL main buildings and Oxford Street. Charlotte St is basically full of restaurants) and I also have a single. I'll be arriving a few days before all the freshmen, so I'll have some time to settle in.

I guess that's about it, next time I update, I'll be in London! :)

not to give away the surprise, but ifsa butler gives you that whole first day off. I took a short nap (they don't recommend that you sleep the whole day or you'll mess up your schedule) and then they give you dinner, but that's it!
