A big difference between being at High Point and being here is the amount of free time I have. I am use to having 18 hours of credits with even longer lab hours, countless hours in the library, numerous sorority events & meetings to attend, and then sometime with friends. Here, I'm only in class 8 hours a week and only 3 of my days are occupied with classes. Its been hard getting use to so much free time and I don't really like it to be honest, especially since its not like home where I have crafts and other little things to fill any free time that I have. I've also noticed how much free time I now have on a daily bases because I don't have my straightner/curler (sidenote: my hair is gonna be so healthy when I get home because of all this time spent without being damaged by the heat of those things!) Its also very expensive to go down to central London so its not affordable to go down there multiple times in a week either.
So I thought I would make a list of things that I now do to occupy my time.
1. Work on my papers - I've been working on these for a month now, and they most aren't due until next week. So they're basically done now, and I'm back to no work.
2. TV Shows - thank goodness for hulu and project free tv. I have now watched all 9 seasons of One Tree Hill (each will over 20 episodes per season), I am now watching DanceMoms (its horrible, but it gives me something to do!)
3. Pharmacy School Research - self explanatory, but highly stressful!
4. Plan out trips / Cross my fingers that a plane ticket to Rome will magically drop by 50 pounds.
So despite all the fabulous-ness of being abroad, its also very boring.
