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
