good morning BALTIMOORREE!!!

hey so I've arrived!!! i got in last night at about 5pm and the exchange officer lady (who's lovely) picked me and Celia up and took us to target to buy duvets etc and food and of course i bought mango juice for $2 and was sooo excited (still am..i've had loads this morning!!) oh before i ramble about the flight and my room and roommate etc here's my address here to send things to if anyone wants to..i know clio and george asked for it so yeah..

anyways so secuirty was sooo quick and everything went so well with the flights etc (although it was a bad idea wearing my new boots that i love because my feet were swollen from the long flight despite flight socks so i had an interesting walking style around JFK airort!) but oh well i love my boots!

The halls are sooo nice as are the showerrs and toilets. and the common room is really cool on my floor too =) my roommate is lovely. after we'd been shopping yesterday and sorted out our id cards etc i unpacked and spoke to her and kinda danced around in a lack of sleep sort of way to her really wicked music =) then Celia, her and i hung out in our room...(celia's roommate arrives tomorrow along with everyone else at Goucher) and then i finally went to sleep at 11pm here when was 23hours of being awake...

but yeah it's amazing here and the lovely exchange officer lady told us it's soo cheap to go to day trips/weekend trips to new york/phili/boston and DC soo we're going to do that and i'm excited!! also there's no fraternities or sororities on campus but the shuttle to central Baltimore goes to all the other colleges and my roommate is friends with people from other colleges so we're going to go to loads of parties at the other colleges and experience the american way.. beer pong! and keg stands!!!

They didn't put any of the exchange students on to the stystem properly this year somehow so on monday celia and i are gonig to the head of dance so choose our courses and choose the classes that we want to do and not be assessed in which is wicked =) even if they're full we can go to them so yay! also there's an amazing african dance class run by a famous drummer from Ghana so i'm excited to do that..maybe nto get assessed in it but just take it for fun! in case you couldn't tell i'm ridiculously excited and hyper already...hopefully tomorrow i'll be un-jet lagged and normal again!

anywayss i need to go and shower and go to the mall (which is a 5min walk from my uni hell yeahh!!)to sort out an american phone and buy a sensible air of boots!
I hope everything's good in England..see you all in september =) happy saturdaayyy =)


oh and my english phone doesn't work so please don't text it...i'm suspending the contract so don't delete the number when i get back i'll be using it again =)
