Skype phone & address

Today I had my first day of class. It started at 10am and ended around 4:20pm. It wasn't too bad. We did goal setting and presentations about learning strategies. After class I went and bought the skype phone. you guys can now call my minnesota number ( 763-219-1168) and skype connects you to my cellphone. it's awesome!! i don't have to rely on my computer to talk to you people back home.

I also signed up for a gym membership. there is a gym (Fitness First) a couple blocks from my apartment. they have cardio and weightlifting classes at 7:00am during weekdays. I'm thinking about trying to get up every morning and workout. we'll see if that works out. my roommate might also get a membership so she would be able to help me with the getting up early.

Tomorrow we also have class. it starts at 10:30am and goes until 1:30pm. We are then planning on heading into central London to catch the end of the St. Patrick's Day parade and to check out the festivities. They have an Irish food market at Covent Garden and Irish performances at Trafalgar Sqaure.

i don't think i've told you all where i'm staying yet. (MJ i'm sure you're going to be one of the only ones who understands this!!) its an apartment building called ability towers and it is directly inbetween the angel and old street tube stops on the northern line. if you wanna take a look go to this website. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/Standard-Tube-map.pdf it is on the black line.

Also the address where packages can be sent is:

Michael House
35-37 Chiswell Street
Fifth Floor
London, EC1Y 4SE
UK

anyways. tanya and candace keep talking to me and distracting me, so i gotta go.
