Hallo! (Shout out to Megan Camillo! If you don't know her, facebook her.) So I have to admit the real reason why I haven't posted in a few days. I am extremely ashamed to say that the reason is....ahhh....is.....I can't say it!....ok, I will: I have been doing homework. I have a project due on Monday (who gives projects out in London) and I have to finish it tonight because this weekend I am going to Edinburgh!!! (still do not know how to pronounce it correctly). I am super excited though to go to Edinburgh! We are leaving tomorrow night and arrive back on Sunday night. Who knows exactly what I will be doing there....but you will be sure to find out Sunday night! As you are all aware by now, Wednesday is my day off ... read more

Hallo! Quite an adventurous few days I have had. It all begins with my favorite line: Since I had no class on Wednesday..... So, since I had no class on Wednesday, I thought it would be another perfect day to go check out a museum (I am becoming very academic over here, sans the classroom). Early on during my time here, I received a message from Iris, a woman who I had the pleasure of meeting while working in the New Jersey Governor's Office two summers ago. She had suggested visiting the "The Cabinet War Rooms and Churchill Museum". Being that Political Science is one of my majors, this museum sounded very interesting, and I thought what a better day than my NO SCHOOL day to check it out. But first....on my way there, being ... read more

SNOOWWWWW DAY IN LONDONNNNNNN!!!!!!! We totally would not have had a snow day if this was Syracuse....but its not! This would happen to us. CNN headline reads "Heaviest UK snow in 18 years hits international flights". The best thing happened though, I slept through my alarm because I was up so late watching the Superbowl (3:30 it ended here in London), and Tara wakes me up at 7:56, as we were leaving at 8 for class (uh oh). I sprinted around my room getting ready (literally, the wind storm I created was enormous). 2 minutes later, Tara, Pammy, and Deborah, my Monday morning travel to class group, knocked on my door. The e-mail had just arrived: SU LONDON HAS CLOSED THEIR BUILDING FOR THE DAY!!!! Best news ever! I jumped back into bed and woke around ... read more

Hallo Everyone, (Don't forget to subscribe so you get updates, if you haven't done so already) Yesterday was quite the adventure. Having no class (yep, worth repeating in each blog), I decided to go against what everyone might think, which would be sleeping in, and I traveled off to a view museums (shocked?) Deborah did not have class until 3:30, so her and I left our flat around 11:30 when the maids (be jealous) arrived. We ventured off South Kensington tube station, where we arrived at the Science Museum (ooooooo.....ahhhhhhh). The exhibits there were very interesting, especially the one about the United States NASA program (its a good thing I came all the way hear to learn about that). The other exhibits featured computer history, the evolution of energy creating machines, and one all about you ... read more

That's right.....BARCELONA is the destination Lady Tara Linsley Bania the XXIV of Maida Vale and I will be heading for SPRING BREAK!!!!! (want to come?) We met with travel agent today, and on March 6th, we will be flying to Barcelona to spend 5 beautiful and glorious nights experiencing the beaches, city, and of course night life (which we are probably most excited about) Then we get home...and even though Spring Break is over...the following week is going to be ridiculous (why should this night be different than all other nights?). We come back March 11th, my best friend Michael arrives in London on the 14th for a week! and then.......March 15th is MY 21st BIRTHDAY!!! (ok, so I was convinced it wouldn't be as cool as turning 21 in the U.S., until i realized that ... read more
