London Rain

The rain is really funny in London. It doesn't seem to ever pour...or even rain hard. It's a little more than the mist that Ireland gets, but London really only gets a light sprinkle from what I can tell. When it rains though, everyone treats it like a thunderstorm! It was raining as I was walking to class today, and just about every single person I passed was using their umbrella. I didn't bother using one and I was barely wet when I walked into class. That was just something funny I noticed.

Classes are going alright. Each class has a lot of reading, but we are only graded on one or two papers and the final exam. That makes me a little nervous, but I'm sure it will be fine. My first graded assignment will be a presentation on soap operas (haha good topic huh?) that I have to give for my Media class on the Monday we get back from Paris. Hopefully the flight isn't late!

Ok, so it's time for my big announcement. This week I have booked a few trips during my stay here. I am going to Prague Feb. 23-26, which I am reallllllllllllly excited about. That is one of the places I was dying to go! The other trip that I booked is AMAZING...are you ready? I am officially going to :::::drum roll please::::::::GREECE!!!! Yup, that's right. I am spending 10 days in April going island hopping in Greece! We will be visiting Athens, Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini. I do owe a thank you to Mom and her friends for letting me leave our England/Wales/Scotland expedition a few days early. I can't wait!
