Settling back into life in London was a bit
interesting. I found myself being
fascinated by British accents again. I
have also caught myself saying: sí and gracias when talking to someone even
though we just had a conversation in English… whoops (: I do have to admit that I miss the warm Spain
weather!!! I found it to be so cold here
when I got back, but Spain did spoil me with 70’s and sunshine for a whole
week. London’s 50 degree weather should
not be a bother to me with it being the beginning of November. I still have not been able to get over the
fact that all of the locals here are wearing their heavy winter coats and think
I am insane to be outside in just a sweater and a scarf or a light jacket. I don’t think I will ever get over it. The Midwest has raised me to believe that 40
and 50 degree weather is beautiful! I am
going to be in a real weather shock when I get back to the states though
because the temperature will hardly change the rest of the time I am here. I was talking with a British student the
other night a bit about Brit’s and just how dramatic they are. She told me if it snows, which it usually
does once every winter, everyone “gets into a fancy” and will shut everything
down and just be beside themselves like they have never seen or heard of such a
thing before! She is totally right
though--- Brit’s are SO DRAMATIC, which I have still found to be really
entertaining.
Little entertaining side note for you: my tutor, or
professor, this morning was telling us how he is living a “gluten free diet”. No less than an hour later I see him shoving
a cupcake in his face, which was not gluten free! He also talks about beer constantly. Pretty sure he has no idea what living a
gluten free life really means.
