First week of classes... done!

So I am done with my first week of classes and they weren't too bad.  I was actually done on Wednesday after 12pm!  My schedule changed a little bit.  I couldn't get into the Critical Addiction Studies class on Thursday, because it was already full, which I am not really surprised about, because the class sounded really interesting!  So instead, I am taking Social Context of Health and Illness on Mondays from 9-10am then the seminar from 10am-12pm.  This class will probably be dropped though.  I am in the process of talking to my study away advisor from back home to see if I can get away with only taking 12 hours instead of 15.  It looks like it is going to work out! :)  So my schedule is looking pretty awesome!  I love not having classes on Thursday or Friday.  4 day weekends all semester are going to be fabulous!
I am learning way more outside of going to classes than I thought I would!  Even though we speak the same language there are so many words that are different or used differently it's crazy!  There schooling system is even way different.  They have high school from age 14-16 then from 16-18 they go to college.  Their college is what we would do as general education requirements in our college.  After that, they go to a university for three years.  So for them college and university are two different things.  So, they pick an area (what we call a major) and are on a set path for the three years they are at a university...  Since I am a foreign exchange student (feels so weird to say that), I can pick whatever classes I want.  I am all over the place in classes with first years, second years, and third years.  It has been an interesting experience so far.
We haven't done anything exciting really except go to pubs and clubs- it's all British people do!  I am definitely not complaining though.  They seem to stay out later than we do back in the States so we are trying to get used to not getting home until 4am or later...  Rough life, right?  Next weekend, we are taking a day trip to East Sussex, which I am very excited about!
Well this is all for now.  It is nice and sunny out (YAY!) so we are going to go shopping in town.  More later!
