London: The First Week- William Gass

Hey Everybody!

My name is William Gass, and I am pursuing a degree in Supply Chain Management. I am from Knoxville, and this is my first time across the Atlantic.

This last week was the first week of classes. They started out well with an optional C.S. Lewis class on Mondays. 

We have also done a good bit of cooking in our flat. From pastas to omelets, we have supplied the home cooked meals to many in our program. I'm sure a few parents thought their child might starve, but rest assured, they know where to eat, Flat 8. One chef, Whit "The Baguette" Emerson requested that the world learn of his cooking skills. So here is a small shout out to him. Whit also decided I needed a nickname as a "chef". Troy didn't mention that he wanted to be talked about, but he's OK at cooking too.

Other than class, we have had the opportunity to explore the city. We got to go on tours of all the main landmarks, and we have been having a great time wandering around. I may have accidentally seen more and wandered a bit more than I wanted to, but on the bright side, the police are very friendly here. 

Yesterday a group of students went to Edinburgh. I did not, and instead I went to the Borough Market. They had some delicious samplings from across Europe and pretty much any kind of local food you could imagine. After the market, we went to the Tate Modern and saw some of Salvador Dali's finest works.

Today was another museum day, but I went to the British Museum. I almost went through all of the top floor, but I barely scratched the surface. The exhibits were incredible! I am a really big fan of history, so it's a good thing that the museum is just down the street.

London is full of interesting things to see and do, and I can't wait to see what next week holds.

Till next time,

William "The Partisan of Preservatives" Gass
