We need soap (and paper towels, and scissors, and FOOD!)

So today, I woke up at 7:45ish, heated up a frozen dinner frozen breakfast meal, and we all headed to the Imperial College for FIE orientation. We went over all of the basics about academics and student life, etc. After that I headed out shopping. As great as our flat is, which y'all will eventually see, it was lacking in a couple things: soap; dish soap; sponges; paper towels; even scissors, which we still don't have. So after orientation, I headed to the London equivalent of Target, a place called Sainsbury's. We bought the cheapest food and cleaning supplies we could find. After walking back to our flat, I realized that I forgot SPONGES! After running to the nearest shop that sold them, I went on an unexpected trip on the tubes with a group of CSB/SJU Londoners who were headed to Trafalgar Square. The group, myself and the sponges rode the tubes and visited some fantastic sites. A friend of mine, who was in London not so long ago, said, "Go out and do something every night." and they were so right. We saw The London Eye along the Thames River, saw Big Ben and just got lost in London. Supposedly there are walking and bus tours this weekend. I'm checking out the guide books about going to the museums this weekend. Till then, later!
