I managed to sleep on the plane fairly well! Probably about 5 hours of in and out sleep on my last flight.
I sat in the middle of a lady and gentlemen. All of us spent most of the time sleeping so I didn't catch their names.
Made it to the airport in London safely. By the time I made it to the baggage claim my bag was sitting there waiting for me. I then went to the atm to take out some pounds and they look gorgeous! I never knew money could look so colorful! Made it to the central bus station and it is really nice outside :) I'm starting to finally realize that I'm in the UK!
On the bus ride I realized that people in other countries actually do drive on the wrong side of the road! Also there is no personal bubble space as the bus driver practically rear ends the buses in front of us! It has started raining really hard here... I hope my webbed feet kick in soon!
The taxi driver was nice I gave him a 30 pence tip and he dropped me off in front of the building! Sarah had also just arrived so we walked in together. We met Geoff who has lived here for 3 years, is working on his PHD in philosophy and theology at Oxford, and he is the SCIO junior dean for the North wing (us). He kinda reminds me of Mike from admissions at NCU...
I met one of my roommates so far. Her name is Katie, we have one class together, and neither of us can find the bathroom on this floor! So she should me the one she found downstairs. Down two flights of stairs, around a couple corners, and through a couple of doorways to be exact. I really hope Geoff can show us a closer bathroom!
FYI Thanks to Sarah we now know were the nearest bathroom is. Down 1 flight of stairs and across from a Professor's office.
Dinner was fun! We got to get to know everyone in the programme (except for the guy who missed his flight and will be here tomorrow). I have an awesome pair of roommates (Katie and Cece) and we have great floor neighbors! I talked with our next door neighbors for quite a while. Sarah ans Samantha are very nice :) Believe it or not we had pizza hut as our first meal here... Yeah I was pretty shocked too!
Skyped with mom and dad to let them know I was ok. Need to make a shopping list for tomorrow... so all and all I have had a great busy first day here at Wycliffe Hall!
Waiting for the PDX airplane in Redmond...
Ended up talking to a lady who doesn't like to fly, was traveling back to Nashville, TN where she lived but had no family, was visiting family in Redmond and thinking of moving there soon. I know all this yet I didn't catch her name...
Bruce wanted to look out the window in Vancouver...
Vancouver looks a lot like La Pine but a little greener...
Waiting patiently for my bus in port 14a...
Turns out the Coach ended up in port 13
