Finally Here

well, after a much anticipated year, I am in Winchester. I arrived at HTR airport in London yesterday morning at about 7 am and stayed there for over 4 hours. One coach (bus) ride and an hour later, I was on campus. Two hours later, and I was unlocking the door to my dorm room with a skeleton key. After unpacking, I went to an early dinner with some flatmates. The food was better than expected, not at all completely flavorless as I'd been told, although the chips (french fries) are quite a bit better in the States. Then I walked down to the city center with some other foreign students... Winchester is a beautiful old city, narrow alleys and all! Today I had orientation, then I walked to the city center again with some fellow Eau Claire students. While there, I saw a police officer chasing after a large group of young teens. It caused quite the excitement. And that, so far, has been my experience in England and it's ancient capitol. Despite how much I miss family and friends, I am excited to feel the history of Winchester and surrounding areas.
