So, here's a little of what it's like to live at Schiller University in London.
1) It is more vertical than horizontal. This means stairs. Guys live on the 4th floor and girls on the 5th. Cafeteria's in the basement. Yeah, my quads hurt a lot.
2) The computers here are up to date on software, but they look like they were made 10 years ago. They are giant, have no dvd access, have a floppy drive, and only USB ports in the back.
3) The food is....okay. I'm not very picky when it comes to food, so I'm doing alright. Still, I had spaghetti and chicken for lunch and it didn't taste like anything.
4) Our doors on our rooms don't have latches. They're either locked or open. Essentially this is so you can't lock your key in the room. Unless your roommate does. And it means you have to leave your door wide open or lock it shut just to go to the bathroom.
5) I looked across 3 floors at 4 different showers, and I think I found a decent one. It seems that you either have pressure or hot water. Not both. Though the girls say their shower is amazing. So maybe I'll just use the girls' bathroom.
6) However, the bathrooms are actually in good condition. And you flush by pushing a button on the wall.
7) The security guy is really nice. So is the librarian - he gave me a tour of the library.
8) I practically live on top of Jared. Our double is the size of a single back home. We have a desk, a table, a closet and two beds. And the view out our window is an alley. I don't think it's fair - the girls can see the London Eye from their room. Don't worry, there will be pictures and videos soon.
9) Going back to the cafeteria, we are served B/L/D Mon-Fri, brunch on Saturdays, and Brunch/Dinner on Sundays. That's a plus. Though when it comes to getting food, it is the most confusing thing ever trying to figure out what we're allowed to have, as it is not all-you-can-eat
10) I feel like there should be an even ten, but there's not. That's it. Thanks for reading. There will be more posts later.

Im pretty convinced that one of the reasons I lost so much weight were because of those stairs... Order the pizza as much as you can from Mumms... dont lost your lunch card or the faculty will yell at you... and put pepper on everything, lol. Yes the showers suck. The girls broke ours the first night we were there. Sara and I wish we could go back, I would give anything to go through that experience again. I love and miss you! <3 Jess
ps. I will leave you notes periodically on this blog. What a good idea!
