First few days of classes

School has officially started... I knew vacation could not last this long! I have to admit though, my classes seem a lot more fun then the ones in the U.S! The classes I am taking while abroad are Intro to Shakespeare, International Marketing, European Gov't and Politics, and an Internship Class. I have my first class of marketing tomorrow, but the other ones are really cool! The way the classes are set up at CAPA (the school I am attending) is that you have each class once a week for three hours. On top of that, I have to complete 20 intern hours a week and take an internship class that is an hour and a half. This class is used to start creating your professional portfolio and get you to understand the differences of working in the UK compared to the US. My European Gov't and Politics class seems really interesting. We will be taking a lot of field trips to places that include The Imperial War Museum, the Palace of Westminster, The UK Office of the European Parliament, and the Instituto Cervantes. Field trips seem to be a common thing will all of my classes because I also get to see a play and attend a workshop at the Globe Theater for my Shakespeare class!

Last night three of my roomates and I went to the Sports Cafe, which is a very American bar. We got there pretty early, so we were able to watch the big soccer, or should I say football, match! It was very exciting and I really want to catch up on my football facts! To start, I signed up to go to football match with CAPA!! After the game, the Londoners cleared out and the Americans poured in. It was insane on how many people were there! That could be due to the fact that it was pound pint night though! It was really funny to see how easily you could pick the Americans out of the crowd...they were the ones fist pumping!!! (very sad to say!) Luckily we found a table and all the British boys still left found their way over to us! We learned a lot about local hang outs and where we should go! And yes, to those of you who may seem surprised, I am making British friends!!! (It must be a miracle right? haha nope just my charming American personality...and my ability to not find the urge to fist pump!!!)

Well I have an early day tomorrow with my Internship and class, so I am going to turn in for the night on my newly made up bed!! (Our maid service is amazing!!) Night!!
