Alright I have finished moving to Birmingham (UK) and orientation for university starts next week. I still need to get some stuff for my room but everything is pretty much taken care of and I'm settled in. I've moved into the international student house which is working out well.
My impressions so far of the UK:
The shopkeepers keep calling me love, darling, etc. which is disconcerting to me.
Crossing the street will be the death of me. Seriously British people I don't care if this is politically incorrect or whatever but stop driving on the wrong side of the street.
It's cold, I'm not a winter person. Anyone who thinks hell is warm is wrong.
Preteens suck. I went to the science museum and they had a forensic exhibit where you learnt about various techniques while 'solving' a crime and these bastards 11/12 year olds were standing next to it and anytime someone went to the exhibit and played around they'd shout which of the suspects did it. (By the way 2 of the suspects had the same pretend DNA but they were boy and girl)
Also I think one of the baggage handlers at one point or the another stole the clear ziplock bag which had hair scrunchies and hair clips. I've emailed my dad to make sure that I didn't forget them but it's weirding me out to think that anyone would steal that.
