10 Things You Learn While Traveling Abroad in the UK (Edition 1)

It's the beginning of the second week and everyone is settling into class schedules. Here are some observations:

1. Things get informal quickly, even with the profs. Hey, you're traveling together for 15 weeks. Go ahead and shove the philosophy prof while we're playing a vicious game of "Never Have I Ever." 
2. Accept the fact that you will wash your clothes in the sink many, many times. (Auxiliary law to number 2: communal washing at the laundromat is the way to go.)
3. Accept the fact that by the end of the month no one will care how cute or gross you look. 
4. You can never skip class because your professors are rooming next door. 
5. Chips are fries. Crisps are chips. 
6. People will always ask you where you are from. 
7. Some small English towns don't accept Scottish currency (EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME, JUST WITH DIFFERENT ARTWORK)
8. It's "queue", not "line". 
9. It's not "sunny-side-up," it's "flat egg". 
10. The tea stereotype is true. It's teatime all day every day. 

Note: Yesterday I wrote "Paraplegic" when I meant "Paralympics". Auto-correct changes everything.
