My first class today was European Union: Institutions and Enterprises at 9am-1pm. It's 15 minutes away from my flat, so I left pretty early. Also, I haven't been sleeping well here, so I woke up at 4:50am before class. The professor is nice and from Edinburgh, Scotland; he is a bit quiet so hopefully he will become louder as he gets to know us. I put myself in a team of people who I don't know very well because I think this will be better than working with people who I already know well. After class it was so extremely windy outside that it literally blew me around, made me unable to breath at times, and obstructed the track on some areas of the tube. It also blew down the wooden fence along the corner of my street, so police had to come tape the area off and put up a temporary fence. I bought my books, and then realized that I forgot them at the bookstore. I was extremely worried, but was lucky to find that they had not moved from where I left them.
Later that night, I went to Bunker bar with everyone from the program, including a director. It included two "free" drinks and then my RA nicely gave me an extra voucher. Anyway, it was great to see so many people, and we met one British/New Zealand guy. I didn't believe his whole spiel about being a 28 year old lawyer, more like a 22 year old super senior. Afterward, some of us went back to South Kensington so that we wouldn't risk missing public transportation (we don't know the night bus well yet). We went to Cavanagh's, which apparently is on my corner, but there was a cover charge and a long line so most of us went home. Tomorrow there is no class, so I will try to sleep well for tomorrow afternoon and night.
