Greetings from London!  For those of you just tuning in, I've moved to London to do an MSc in International Marketing at London South Bank University (conveniently located on the "south bank" of the Thames).  I arrived last Wednesday morning and am happy to say I'm slowly getting settled in.  My first few days have been spent running errands, taking care of school business and exploring my new city.  In spite of the fact that I own four different London guidebooks, I've been trying to find my way without them (nothing screams "tourist" like the London A to Z...oh, and speaking as loudly as possible on the tube - you know who you are...)  It's still hard for me to grasp that I'm really here.  Every morning when I step outside, I'm literally shocked to find myself on a busy London street.  Where am I?  Oh yes, I live here now!  My flat is only a short walk to the university and even better, just a block away from a Starbucks.  I'm doing my best to embrace British culture, but I need at least one vice...OK two.  I went to IKEA on Saturday (along with every other American in London, apparently) and it was fabulous (of course).  Other highlights of my first few days include riding the London Eye (which I can see from my bedroom window!), sampling the culinary fare at the Thames Festival, taking long walks/getting lost all over Central London and meeting lots of new people.  I feel so blessed to be here and am excited to see what the Lord has in store!
