….. *4(ish) months fly by* Where has the time gone? Honestly. I’m currently writing this post from Orlando and although I have the pleasure of being in the comfort of my own home I’m feeling bittersweet about it. It’s been about a week and a half now since I’ve been back and I am glad to…

*flashback* So the story behind how and why this trip was planned is really unique. One day a few friends and I decided to go explore Westminster area and take the typical touristy pictures, one of which included the famous big ben and phone booth picture. During this I was also filming footage for my…

*flashback* This weekend we planned to celebrate one of my best friends birthday in the beautiful city of Barcelona.  After “careful” consideration for a few weeks (really more like a few days) my friend Brittany decided that is where she wanted to go. The total of people for this trip was six, including myself. Three…

*flash back* This trip was planned 4 days prior to the departure date. Two other CAPA students posted about  the opportunity to go to Oktoberfest with the company Stoke Travel. I decided to book with them because it was pretty inexpensive for what was offered and it seemed like a great opportunity. It turned out…

Rereading my letter was more interesting than I thought it would have been. In the beginning, prior to this program I thought it was a waste of a requirement  but I am actually glad that it was.

*Flash back* This trip was very last minute, it was planned and booked all within 2-3 hours on Thursday afternoon. The original idea was to go to Bristol but due to freshers week eveything was completely booked.  The travel time to Oxford was about 2 hours via coach bus and the air bnb was located…

(Flashback) Today we had to be at Capa around 8am in order to catch our bus heading towards Stonehenge and Bath. So far, there hasn’t been a need for me to be at Capa before my usual morning class time, 9:30am, so I experienced a slight struggle getting up so early. Im not sure if…

The day I leave to study abroad has finally arrived. I am just now waking up and it is 6am! I have a few errands to run before I leave this afternoon; those of which include getting a haircut and going to a doctor’s appointment (fun right?) My plan is to be back home before…

So in about 28 days I will be boarding a plane with the final destination being London-Heathrow, I am very excited for my fall semester abroad to begin and to be honest I am also a bit anxious. This summer has been both amazing and hectic and I am definitely ready to start new adventures…
