Jet lag...ewwww.

Well its 5 in the morning and i cant fall back asleep. So i figured i may as well put my time to use instead of just lying in bed hopelessly trying to fall back asleep. Same thing happened yesterday too--my eyes just shot open and 4am! at least yesterday i was able to fall back asleep til like 6:30. But after that i woke up and went about my day. And if you know me you know that is an exceptional accomplishment because i am NEVER awake that early in the morning.

But anyway...

The first day was not so fun. Jet lag. Exhaustion. A Blizzard. And lots of Luggage. But i was able to see my uncle who lives in London so that was nice! I got settled into my new home (which is awesome!) and after unpacking went into the city center to one of the pubs for dinner. i came home and then crashed! Yesterday was a much better day. After a full night of rest i woke up bright and early to begin my day. It was long, but good. We had orientation all day with the rest of the Oxford study abroad students. It was a day filled with details and we were overloaded with information, but its nice to finally have all--or i guess--most of the facts. AND it was good to see everyone, meet new people and get to catch up with the APU friends here that are in other houses.

SO my house: its really awesome. there are 8 of us total. 3 guys and 4 other girls. There are 3 floors. Downstairs has the kitchen and dining room and 2 bedrooms. The middle floor has 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms and the top floor has 3 bedrooms. I live on the top floor and have an incredible view. Its beautiful because I can see all the snow covered housetops. When i wake up super early and its still dark out side, I can see the moon and its gorgeous and at night I can see the colors of the sunset behind the housetops.

Well today's a new day, its almost 8 o'clock and I've already been awake for 3 hours doing various things (skyping my family, returning facebook messages, eating honey nut cheerios in the dark etc). The house is quiet and everyone is asleep but thanks to jet lag I've been wide awake. I have a headache to but I'm sure tylenol can fix that. Anyway...on to a new day.
