Eating abroad

Ok, so last weekend I was walking around Brighton and found an Asian Supermarket called "Yum Yum". I was very excited. The pictures are of how I'm trying to feed myself without eating out every meal (quite the change from life in LA). You never know how much you miss things until you don't have it, so yes, I was very excited to find the Mi Goreng noodles that I made with eggs and some leftover black bean sauce chicken. The photo on the top right is of my kitchen that I share with my 5 other flatmates. Oh, and of course, there are fish and chips which are in view of the window from my room (basically they're everywhere though!).

The Town of Brighton

Brighton is a cute town, and we live right in the heart of it. On the walks I've had around town, I've taken a couple of pictures of the buildings and the varying architecture. I have to start just walking around and exploring more! Too bad the weather is getting colder! Other than that, started my first classes this week. They were good and I'm actually really excited to be learning again. :) There's just a TON of reading. 

University of Sussex

I've been on campus 2 days now. Since I live off campus in the town of Brighton, it takes about 30-40 minutes to go to campus by bus. I've really enjoyed the campus. Locals all say that this is uncharacteristically warm weather. Whatever it is, it feels so nice to be surrounded by so much greenery...and sun! My intro meetings have been about 20-30 students and we actually have time for everyone to go around and introduce themselves. It's definitely refreshing to be in such a small, intimate learning environment. I'm actually excited to start learning and to officially start classes on Tuesday!

Brighton shore!

Brighton shore! This is the lovely view from my room in the flat. So fun to say flat. Hehe

SFO to LHR!

My mom took me to the airport this morning - 2 large suitcases, a small carryon bag, a purse, and a backpack. Thanks Mom! Packed with space bags which are awesome! But, I did have weight issues so I had to do some rearranging. Ended up having to leave the little rice cooker at home, but that was the only sacrifice made. :D
