Those pictures frighten me. I can't imagine living in a city that large. Sure I live in a city of 600,000 right now, but I don't exist beyond the neighborhood of 10,000. At LSE, I will exist in the city itself. I have to navigate and find my way through all of this. It's way beyond New York if I had gone to NYU too since at NYU, I would have still stayed in one (very, very rich) neighborhood. At LSE, I may live 45 minutes away from the school. I will have to use the Tube everyday. I'll have to go shopping everyday for groceries and find food each day. This is way beyond Georgetown or what college has been so far. I may have to cook meals for myself each night. Perhaps I am in over my head. Holy shit.
