Yo all!
As most of you know, I went to Liverpool yesterday with Sue and Alex. It was fun having a "Loyola runion" while bumming around liverpool. By the way, I've found my city soulmate. Does love at first sight of a city exist? I think so! Liverpool is fantastic!!! With the mix of old and VERY new, it's the perfect city for me! It's also by a river, just like New Orleans! Naturally, I went to a Beatles museum, which was a kick in the butt! I got to see a lot of old things that belonged to them, and I found a replica of Paul's bass. If I have enough money in May, I'm going back to buy it...or I might just get the tiny replica that's cheaper...anyway, I'm definitely frequenting that place, as it's only an hour away.
Also, I got my first taste of the English family lifestyle. Sue and her parents have been amazing hosts! I had my first real pudding tonight, which was super! And homemade French onion, and spaghetti, and amazing hospitality! I think the South has some competition!
Oh, and I got to see the English Wal*Mart, ASDA. It's basically a more organized version of walmart with two stories and a sweet elevator (carries your cart up with you!) The prices are just like walmart at home, so I know where I'm going for groceries, supplies, etc. They serve SoCo in a can...I can't escape New Orleans! I also got to see this place called Argos, where you order your product from a catalogue and then wait to pick up your product (about 4 min wait.) ...yeah, it's still strange for the English, lol!
Overall, my stay has been great so far. Now the actual schooling begins...I'm just a little nervous to be starting a new school. I'm sure it'll be fine! I get to find out where I'm staying tomorrow, so I'll keep y'all updated!
