Many little lessons for today!
First of all, we learned that every electric outlet has a little switch next to it that turns on and off. Before Kirsten and I knew that we totally thought our fridge was broken! Nope. We just needed to turn the outlet on. It just goes to show how conscious the British are of conserving power and recycling.
I got my first two pound coin at the grocery store tonight! Kirsten and I bought chocolate milk and were wondering why it wasn't refrigerated. We are drinking it now and realizing it is more like a British slim fast than chocolate milk. Haha still tasty though!
We paused our class orientation today for tea time. Yes. Everything stops for afternoon tea. I had a cup of tea with a clump of brown sugar and milk and a biscuit with clotted cream (a mix between butter and cream cheese). Good stuff!
Eggs here at not refrigerated because they are free range and quite fresh! The British are also very into Free Trade items and knowing where their food comes from locally. Since the shops are so close and people walk everywhere, there is nothing sold in economy size and is very quaint. My knowledge of eggs is beginning to be noticed by others as of today and it was quite fun to share.
--- sidenote to lauren and elizabeth and mom: I plan on making fried egg sandwiches and beans for my floor tomorrow. They are not near as excited as I am but they don't know what they are in for yet---
The word for the day is enamored because we are still enamored by just the everyday happenings of our surroundings. Still just trying to soak it in. We took a moment of silence in the pub tonight to listen to the accents around us. So cool. Some guys made fun of me and mimicked me when I said thank you tonight. Yes, I am still an American.
