First day of orientation went well!! It was so nice to finally be at the school and at least get a glimpse of what to expect for the coming year. We have a very eclectic group of students, coming from an extremely diverse set of backgrounds in art, art history, business, economics and everything in between.
After a long day of trading information and introductions, we were even allowed the chance to visit a local gallery showing a sculpture exhibition by Thomas Houseago. If you want to read my post about the exhibit, you can go to my and Amy A's art blog, http://www.artwithamys.blogspot.co.uk/, but regardless, it was an incredible experience. It felt great to be in a gallery with other people talking through ideas and thoughts about the artworks right in front of us. I have a feeling it's going to be a busy year, but I can't wait to see what is to come!
In other news, I watched my first Arsenal match at a London pub on Sunday afternoon. I found The Tollington just before kickoff and walked in to find the bar packed with Gunner clad paraphernalia yelling and cheering over pints of brew. Needless to say, it was absolutely the experience I had imagined it would be, and I'm already excited for the next match.
London living is good so far. New place, new friends, and new school, but it's starting to feel like I'm supposed to be here. It takes time to settle in to a place, but routine and experience will come and will make the adventure much more enjoyable.
Also, I found a restaurant that sells cows brains if anyone is interested.
