After a fairly east and sort of long flight, during which
almost everybody slept, and a quick bus ride from the airport to the hotel,
which consisted of sight-seeing and lots of sports discussions between us and
the Syracuse UK staff, we finally arrived at our hotel. It was official, we
were finally in London and finally begun our journey. Each student was assigned
a room/roommate and we all checked in and left to quickly go drop our bags up
in our rooms and then met back up in the hotel lobby/café. Once all together
again in the café we met with the Syracuse UK staff and discussed what it meant
to be a SU abroad student. However this was not before attempting to do a quick
“ice-breaker”, which was fairly awkward and it did not last long when it became
apparent to the UK staff members that every single person was clearly way too
drained mentally to partake in it. We concluded the quick meeting with a short overview of what the layout of the trip would be like and discussed the day-to-day itinerary to make sure everyone was on track, and broke for free time (really nap time).
We regrouped at around 7pm and headed off for dinner. We went to an Italian spot called the Spaghetti House. Once there we enjoyed a night full of bonding, drinking, and most importantly delicious food, as we prepared for the wonderful journey that awaits us!
