Whew! I finally have a few minutes to sit down! In about 40 minutes I have a library orientation meeting, oooh fun ;)
Well, I should start from the beginning, which seems so long ago...my flight on Monday evening to London was delayed for about 1.5 hours. The pilot said that there approx. 20 planes in front of ours waiting in line for take off, and that going through JFK is never a walk in the park. The flight was actually pretty fun (who wudda thunk it?!), I watched the movie Zodiac (which was really good, I would recommend it), watched 2 episodes of Arrested Development, listened to some music, and played Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (doesn't sound like a plane, does it?). Needless to say, I didn't get any sleep.
We finally arrived at the airport at 8:30am local time (3:30am EST), and by the time we got out of there with the rest of the group it was 9:15-ish. A chartered bus came to pick us up, and we started making our way to Kensington (I think about 45 minutes away).
Right from the beginning, the staff has been really nice and welcoming to everyone. The bus drove up to Atlantic House on St. Albans Grove, and we had to lug all our suitcases up the stairs (thankfully I'm on the second floor, but it was still insane :D This building has no elevators -- excuse me, "lifts"). I will insert pics of the room as soon as I take them, it needs a slight straightening out!
Ahhh, time for library orientation, be back soon!
