SNOW DAY!

For the first time in 18 years London is being with a snow storm and I'm here for it! Most of the trains and buses have stopped and the streets haven't been cleaned at all but it's still exciting for most Londoners. All our classes were canceled today but I don't have class on Mondays so it hasn't made much a difference, lets hope for another snow day tomorrow! This is the view of the courtyard outside of my room:

I've been studying at the School of Oriental and African Studies which is very specialized. I'm taking mostly development classes and it's been really interesting. It's been a month since I got to London and this first month has really been a time where they let us figure out our class and get used to the teaching here. It's also given us a lot of time to explore London which I've definitely taken advantage of. I've tried to go to as many museums as possible (which you can only see so many of) and I've seen three plays since I've been here.

We have a week off coming up this Friday and we've been trying to figure out travel plans for that week, I'll keep you posted on what we decide!
