My name is Paige Ermann, I am studying abroad spring semester 2015 in London at Queen Mary University of London. I leave tomorrow, and I couldn’t be more excited. In the days leading up to today, I was a bit nervous, simply because I didn’t know if I would be able to fit everything I needed into my two suit cases. Eventually I did, at 2 a.m., but it was worth staying up that late simply due to the pure relieve I felt when I zipped up the last bag and rolled them over to the door.
Now, all that is left is the excitement, I can’t wait to get to London and start all the new adventures that I know I will get to experience. Already I have plans to travel to Norway with a friend who I haven’t seen in months before she comes to stay with me in London for a week. Then, there are the tentative plans that I will go to Nice and stay with a friend who is studying abroad there, and if we can make it work we want to travel to Greece.
I have to say that one reason I chose to come to London is because it is so easy to travel, not only do you get the experience of being abroad in London, but you also get to travel to various other countries and experience their culture as well. As I make my last minute preparations for leaving, I have to say I can feel that this is going to be a life changing experience for me and I can’t wait to embark.
