After viewing several disappointing flats that left me somewhat disenchanted with the idea of London life, I went out for dinner with a new friend Christian, from Boston. Afterwards I crashed into bed, and awoke to an email from the LSE accommodation board saying I had been accepted into the Bankside House residence off the waiting list. I was ecstatic! Bankside House is right behind the Tate Modern on the south bank - about a 20 min walk to LSE and central London. Hurray!!!
Saturday was spent in Regent's Park with people from my program at LSE. We had a picnic and then played football in the grass in bare feet for almost three hours. It was intense, but great group bonding. They seem to be some really quality people!
