I understand that reading a daily blog can be rather challenging, and that if you're just tuning in now you've missed a lot. So, for your benefit, I've decided to do a little identification:
JYA = Junior Year Abroad; King's College term for exchange students from America
King's College= part of the University of London system and where I'm studying English and War Studies this semester
KCH= King's College Hall, my hall of residence (aka, dorm)
Danehurst= my building (one of three) at KCH
Camberwell Green= little shopping area close to KCH
Lainey= JYA from Wellesley and one of my corridor-mates, she's studying War Studies here and is a Political Science and Economics double major at home
Gregg= JYA from Georgetown and one of my corridor-mates who's studying Science, Technology, and International Affairs back home and War Studies here
Tom= JYA from Tufts who is another one of my corridor-mates; he was in Egypt last semester
Liane= JYA from Washington and Lee who lives in Danehurst; she's studying Religious Studies both here and at home
Kate= JYA from University of Michigan who also lives at KCH and is taking English and Film classes here
Margaret= JYA from University of Michigan who lives at KCH and is taking War Studies at King's
Katie= JYA from Washington University in St. Louis who is a corridor-mate; she's the one who told me about Ian McKellen
Micah= JYA from Haverford who is studying War Studies here (see a trend?)
fuBar= KCH in-residence bar; very popular with the students
The Fox= pub down the street from KCH
68= Bus route that takes me from my dorm to the Strand campus
176= another bus route that runs from my dorm to the Strand
Strand = main campus of King's College; all my classes are here
Waterloo Bridge= bridge right next to the Strand Campus; has an excellent view of central London (I take lots of pictures from here; if it's from a bridge it's probably from this one)
London= big city in southwestern England; they speak funny here
England= that country across the Atlantic that, uh, used to control us, but uh, they no longer do...
hahaha, I'm so witty. It must be this glorious English air. well, that should catch you up somewhat, so cheers!

haha, thanks for making it easy for stupid people like me who need everything spelled out for them. however, i learned about london last week, so i'm two steps ahead. haha. okay so i'm not that dumb, but some of us have 'special needs'. you know how it is. you've lived with sachi, aka 'the cripple'. she's been wounded the past few weeks- from a tragic coffee spilling accident. i like to think of it as a smelting accident, but you know, instead of molten metal that burned her, it was a steamy beverage. happens to the best of us i always say. okay, so maybe that was the first time, but i could pick it up. i think i've got the right personality of somebody who could pull it off- you know like sylvester stallone or margaret thatcher. man, would they have made a cute couple. speaking of couples, saket never showed me any pictures of grizzy, aka grizelda, aka swedish unibrow. pity. so you know what i watched last night? oui! need i say more? i shall resist! okay, okay, it was finding nemo. now who's patronizing people? stings doesn't it... you better watch who you're messing with.
okay, so i should stop writing before people start reading this and questioning your credibility. wouldn't want to stain that flawless reputation of yours now would i? anyway, just thought i would say hey. catcha later.
