I just had this amazing blog all typed up, and it was so detailed and clever, I think it was my best one yet... But I accidentally clicked on a link, lost the page, and for some stupid reason, the auto save feature on this thing doesn't work, so I'm really irritated... It has not been a good day for me... Anyway, I don't want to rant about my day, but mostly it's because my flat-mates (besides Maggi) are slobs and I've kind of hit the breaking point with putting up with them, but I have no outlet for my anger [View Full Entry]

Hello! Okay, I'm not actually in Greece now, but I did write some of this while in Greece, so hopefully that counts for something... When I finish this I will write another about the wonders of Paris and update you about what I am doing for the rest of my time here! Well, Greece was interesting. I had a really good time and got to see some amazing things, but there were some issues that were completely out of my control that made parts of it frustrating. I will briefly summarize those yucky bits and then move on to the good [View Full Entry]

So, it's taken a little while, but I just finished packing up my stuff for Greece, so I decided I better write about Ireland before I leave again. We left Thursday night from Gatwick Airport which was a lot smaller than Heathrow and we had a lovely dinner at an American-Italian place. I had really good spaghetti, although it made me a feel a little sick later. When we got into Dublin it was pretty late, and we had to find the bus to our hotel which took a bit. But we finally found it and got dropped off across the [View Full Entry]

Well, I guess I shouldn't start with Amsterdam, since I did go to Cambridge right before I left: Cambridge: On Friday Maggi and I went to Cambridge to walk around. She had been there for a summer program in High School so she was a bit nostalgic for it, I think. Although one of the main reasons she wanted to go was to visit a bakery she went to, and it had closed, so she was a little bummed. But, we had a really nice time walking around and looking at the colleges. We walked through the back of one of [View Full Entry]

Hello All! It's been about two weeks since I last wrote. You haven't missed out on much. Last time I wrote I had just gotten back from Edinburgh, and that was the last big thing I did until this past weekend when I went on a tour to Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, and Bath. But first things first... The weekend of Oct 25th: On Friday I went to the British Museum for the first time. It was amazing, there was so much stuff to see. I didn't know where to start so I wandered around the first floor starting with ancient sculpture. [View Full Entry]

Hello! I'm not actually writing from Scotland, because I did not want to carry my computer around, but since I just got back this morning, I figured it was okay to put it as my location. So, I had an amazing weekend - I got out of England for the first time! yay! But, I'll start with Saturday at Oxford. On Saturday morning I got up super early (okay, only 6:30, but still early) and left for Oxford around 8:30. (We got a little lost going to meet the group, and got on a tube going the wrong direction - but [View Full Entry]

Hello Again, I've done a few things since I last wrote so, I thought I should catch up now, before the weekend starts, so that the next one I write won't be obscenely long. So, the day after I last wrote, Maggi and I went to the Covent Garden Markets, which was a lot of fun. There were some interesting street performers, which I really enjoyed. I took a few pictures of the market and the street performers. My favorite, I think, was this guy who was dressed in a green suit that looked like it was covered in leaves, and [View Full Entry]

Hello Again! It's been four days since I last wrote; that's not too bad, right? So Thursday was my first day of class, and it was incredible. We met up at the school at 9:45 and left a 10:10 for a mystery coach trip to an unknown location. I chatted with a girl from Israel for a bit, and it was interesting to talk to her. She was really cold - which I understood - although it was a beautiful 60-ish degree day. I was trying to follow the road signs on the drive, but having very little geographical knowledge of [View Full Entry]

Hello All! I am waiting for my laundry so I thought that I would sit down and write more about what I have been up to! Last Thursday I just posted some pictures, but that was also my enrollment day. So, I finally got my schedule and have sort of figured out what I will be doing this semester... Monday: I will have nothing, luckily - unless one of my classes has a meeting, but that sounds unlikely. Tuesday: I am going to have two Visual and Cultural Theory classes on this day - I have no idea what the classes [View Full Entry]

Hello All! I don't really have much more to report, because I haven't done much... But I did do some wandering with Maggi, my flatmate, so here are some pictures from that. Walking Trips We saw the graffiti on our walk back from a student activity fair. And the creepy bathrooms were on a tour that we took with our orientation group around London - they were very creepy! It was kind of like a field of huge eggs! Everything else was from a brief walk around tonight at Trafalgar Square and Leic [View Full Entry]
