Alright, I refuse to make any comparison between the Ithaca College London Center and Hogwarts… Okay, except for the friendly ghosts, winding staircases, and the secret door that doesn’t appear until you are looking for it. But you know, it is Britain and all – anything is possible.
I actually always think I see Harry Potter characters walking about the city in the morning and late afternoon. A lot of the school uniforms have the same kind of elaborate crests that JK Rowling borrowed for the Harry Potter books so it is neat to see that everyday. Another London thing that I hope is just a phase, is that songs from Mary Poppins keep poppin’ into my head at all times. Especially with all the pigeons and folks feeding them (Feed the birds, tuppence a bag…) or looking up at all the old buildings and the tall chimneys (Chim chimeree chim chimeree chim chim ch-roooo…). Things are especially bad when someone randomly walks up to randomly in the park and says “Oy! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?!”
It’s all true.
Really.
Except that last bit.
Supposedly, our landlord has worked out a deal with some neighbors that will result in me having Internet access back home. So far, I’ve only been able to post or do anything else online from the ICLC, which has limited hours and at times, the wireless connection is shoddy.
Since I think a few people are reading this, I’d like to hear what people think- I’d especially love to hear about things that all of you (currently not in London ☹) want me (currently in London) to do, experience, or comment on. I really want this blog to not just be a place for me to type rants that no one wants to read, but to share my London experience in an interesting way. So send your feedback my way!

Each day I’ll create a new goal, sure, why not?

Rob! I'm so glad that things are going well so far for you! One tip: Go to the London Philharmonic's website and sign up for the student emails- concert tickets for £4-£8! It's a short notice deal - just a couple of days before the concerts usually, but a great deal if you don't have anything else going on! Tell Janet I say Hello!
