Clinical Day 1

Hi,

I didn't have a chance to blog yesterday b/c time went by quickly. Therefore, I don't have any pictures to put up. We went to a local market yesterday morning outside London and walked across the real London Bridge. Mom got quite chilly walking around so she decided to go back to the room, and Dad and I went to Tower of London (where many famous people got beheaded and the Crown Jewels are stored). We went back to the hotel, packed my stuff up and headed to Putney to move me in. I was about 15 minutes to walk to Hospital from the nearest tube station, so it was quite cold. I got moved in into my tiny dorm room and we headed out with Jenna and her friend for dinner. After 3 bottles of wine between 5 people, the walk in the cold wasnt nearly as bad.

Jenna and I started orientation this morning and we have tons more stories to tell about this. Now we're at dinner (with a girl from our orientation too), sitting next to a crazy drunk woman who is talking to herself by the way, so I need to eat. Hopefully we'll find some more free wi-fi soon so we can tell more about our early experiences. Cheers!

Melissa
