So I have finally arrived in Bath! I believe I'm still quite jet-lagged because by 2 in the aftern
oon I become utterly exhausted.  The first four days here have been consumed with orientation - which can be, at times, tedious. However, all the staff and faculty members are wonderful. I've settled in  quite nicely within my flat and room. I live in a flat with three other US girls in the programme. We share two bathrooms and a kitchen. Underneath our flat is a Greek restaurant / bar. 

My flat is in the building that is a brownish color

 Yesterday, the whole group went into the Bath Abby, had tea, and was given a tour. This amazingly beautiful church sits smack in the center of the city. It is actually the third church to be built on that ground. Because it is the third church, their is a gap underground where thousands a individuals lay to rest and they have tablets in their memory. One of the ceilings within the Abby is made completely out of one stone (see picture below).





















Tuesday I met my teacher who I will be working with in these next 15 weeks and was given a tour of the school I am placed at. The school is a primary school in a small quiet village, which is only a 15 minute bus ride away. I am really excited to get back into the classroom.
Tonight is a "smart" event where we get to dress up and meet our tutors (professors). Tomorrow I am seeing Spring Awakening at the Theater Royal, then Sunday is Stonehenge!
