Queenswood


Every day our houseparents come and wake us up, so that we can get dressed and ready for breakfast. But it is just so annoying to get woken up so early, cause we are on holiday after all !!! 7 am is just way too early to wake up, breakfast is at 8 and classes starts at 9.15 ! It's really hard, and i really don't get enough sleep !!!
Classes are fun, the students are nice and i really like Napoleon, my teacher :D. I like it because we do a lot of work in groups or just everyone together. The e-comm lessons are fun, because we're making a blog ( DUH ! If you're reading this, you know it ! :P ). I just find it a bit annoying that we HAVE to chose an activity every day for after dinner ! And it's terrible to do sports when you've just eaten a whole meal!! Some of the days i'd really just rather stay in my room and chill and relax, or go the common room with Paloma :P.
So it's nice but i'm always tired after a day here at Queenswood !
Awww, poor little me here in England :P

Saturday shopping !!


On Saturday we went to London to do some shopping in Oxford Street. We went to topshop, and it was really nice. A big shop with loads of sales !! I love it ! Unfortunately we only had until 3.15 so there was most deffinetly not enough time to look at all the lovely shops ! I also went to H&M and bought some stuff.
Then we had to take the bus back to Queenswood, while some of the others went to see a musical in London.
At 8.30 we had an AMAZING disco party :P. We got all dressed up and pretty for the "party", but with my friend we only stayed until 10, cause after that we went to our room to watch Step up !
And we were aloud to stay up until 12 o'clock !! :O
But we have to get up, at 7.15 EVERY SINGLE DAY, even on weekends, it's just not fair :( !!!!!

Our trip to London & the British museum


We took the bus from Queenswood to London, and it took about 1,5 hour. When we arrived we started our walking tour of London, and we went to see Buckingham Palace, and then we went through St. James' Park, our guide was grumpy and not very nice. He was walking very fast and whenever we would stop to look at something he would just get pissed at us. He would ask us things like: Do you not wanna visit anymore? And we'd say: yes. So he'd say: Then you need to start walking and not stopping all the time!! He was rather unpleasant, but the tour was nice.
Then we sat infront of the Westminster abbey to eat our lunch. Then we took the bus again, to go to the British Museum.
At the museum we were in pairs, and we had to find the answers to some different questions. It was rather difficult, because the museum is so big, but we still managed to answer everything.
I was very tired when we got back, and really hungry too! After dinner I had signed up for batminton, but i was really not in the mood to do anything, but I still played for more than an hour before I gave up :D !
Next time, I'll tell you about the shopping I will have done in London on Saturday :).
Cheers.

My first days in England.



I arrived monday morning in London from Brussels, the weather was fine but not very warm.
I took the train from King's Cross to Potters Bar and then I took a cab to Queenswood.
The campus is huge and it's beautiful. The people are nice and i'm starting to get used to the English weather. I'm still hoping that the sun will come, so that i can enjoy a real summer and wear some of my summer clothes !!
I've already had a whole day of lessons, and now it's my second day. The teachers, Napoleon and George, are very nice and so are the other students.
Tomorrow we're going to London for a tour and then to the British museum.
Saturday we're going to London for a shopping day. YAY !!
New updates from Queenswood later !
