Hello from Norwich!

Hello!

After many hours of traveling and wearing the same pair of leggings, I've arrived on campus at UEA. I've already met tons of great people, mostly girls, all exchange students (everyone else arrives on Friday). We're all going out to dinner tonight because none of us have bought food. We began meeting each other on the flight from Amsterdam to Norwich, everyone who looked like they had no idea what they were doing seemed to be headed in the same direction. No one had a clue about Customs, but it was really easy, they barely looked at the paperwork. Norwich airport seems to be smaller than Burlington, if you can believe it.

Everything here (or what I've seen of it) is just like the movies, little school children all dressed up in uniforms, walking home to their brick homes with the courtyards in the back and clotheslines. The names are all really charming too, like "White Rose Court" and "Fern Lane" and that sort of thing. Lots of small cars, driving on the opposite side of the road, and lots of people calling me "Love." The bus driver took one look at my bright pink and green paisley suitcase and said "Is this in case you fall in a snowbank, Love?" I'm not sure if he liked it or not.

I'm about to go find my room (a ten minute walk from campus!) and take a shower and a quick nap. I won't have regular internet access until Friday, so my posts may be limited. But I love you and miss you all, and I'll write soon with more updates!
