Day One

Hello everyone! I don't have much energy to explain my day, I'm running on about 3 hours of sleep in the last 35 hours. But instead, here are some pictures. I took pictures of pretty much every room in the house, so they may seem repetitive. Either way, enjoy!

Living Arrangements

This is a picture of a house called Highgrove in the Oadby Student Village at the University of Leicester. THIS is where I will be spending my time in Leicester - in this big, beautiful house. I've been told it was originally a mansion then converted into housing for students. I learned that each room had a specific purpose when constructed, for example my room was originally a men's drawing room and across the hall is what used to be the conservatory.
I don't know my roommate yet, but I heard that they try to put us with other Americans. Two other girls from ISU will be in this house as well: one on my floor and another up stairs (I'm on the ground floor). The house will be home to about 16 girls and sits right outside botanical gardens.
22 more days!! :)
