LEEDS!

After 14 hours of travel consisting of 2 flights, 1 train, and 1 taxi I can now say I have made it safely to LEEDS, UK! I left Charlotte Douglas Airport on Tuesday and had a transfer flight at the Chicago O'Hare Airport. From there was an 8 hour flight to Manchester. I absolutely loved the flight, as strange as it may be. The landscape from Charlotte to Chicago was breathtaking. It's crazy how you can go from 65 degree weather to freezing temperatures and snow in such a short amount of time.

To fill you in, I didn't begin this adventure all on my own. There are two other girls, Cat and Courtney from NC State that traveled with me and are also going to the University of Leeds. We met each other before we left and I know this experience will make us very close. It's comforting to have someone from home near by.

Everyone at Leeds has been extremely helpful and I was welcomed with open arms. I now live in a dorm called Oxley House and in a flat with 13 girls. I have my own room and sink and we all share a bathroom and kitchen. My kitchen last year with 3 other girls was a disaster... can you even imagine sharing with 13? Haha. Hopefully I stay healthy! I love my dorm because the architecture is gorgeous and the people are brilliant (yes... I'm picking up the new lingo). One downside to my new home is that it is about 3.5 miles away from campus so I have to take a bus everyday. But hey... I can meet some pretty interesting people on a city bus :)

There is so much to talk about but so little time!
