A Month in London

I arrived on the morning of the 29th of June into Gatwick and obviously now one month has passed since that time. Summer courses are almost over and initially I felt like that completing the summer term was going to be one of the biggest challenges while I was here. During the summer I still have to attend class meeting and because of the time difference they meet at 1am until 3am and 11pm until 1am. This has not made life any easier as I adjusted to life in London but so far I think we are looking at a sucess. The assignments are finishing up nicely and I just need to attend class this last week.

On a career note, I finally joined the American Library Association as a student so that people will think that I am real librarian when I get my degree. I also joined the Association of College and Research Libraries as a student and I hope that this will prove to be money well spent.




This saturday I ran a 10K in gorgeous Regents Park and actually set a personal best time of 37:57. I have felt rested recently so that may have had something to do with but I have been eating lots of pastries and drinking plenty of full bodied english beer so I'm not sure where that came from but it was a blast. By the way I am not in the picture above but it was taken on the same course.

So I am finding my way around London, have found my favorite restaurants and musuems and will hopefully settle in for a sucessful time here.
