First off, London is AMAZING and I never thought I would love it this much right off the bat! After moving in with my new roomies, from Arizona State, Ole Miss, and Washington State, we started exploring and going on adventures right away. The first night we went to Schordich and had a great time…
Category: UK: CEA CAPA London
Stonehenge & Bath
Today we visited Stonehenge and Bath. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. We had to get to CAPA early in the morning and the bus ride was only a couple of hours. The area surrounding Stonehenge is rural; we got to see the English countryside. Stonehenge itself is underwhelming. I think the history of…
London Life
We got to our flat, jet lagged and exhausted only to realize we had to carry two 50 pounds suitcases and one carry on each up five flights of stairs. It was a struggle, but we made it, and began to unpack and settle into our new home. My best friend and me live in…
It’s London Time
I have been in London for just over a week, and so much has happened. It is overwhelming and exciting to think about everything I have done so far and everything that awaits me for this semester. It is amazing how much I have grown in such a short amount of time, and I hope…
So Much to Do!
I knew London had numerous places to visit and explore, which is why I chose to study abroad here. In the past few days I had the chance to see some of the well-known monuments and places around London! The Buckingham Palace was on the top of my list for things I wanted to see…
Settling in the Big City

London’s my Playground
It’s officially the end of day of day 5 in London, and to say that the wait for this experience was worth it, is an understatement. Between moving in, traveling via tube, orientation, and site seeing, my schedule has been so full since touching down. It has been a lot to take in, but I’m…
Only a few minutes away from taking off to London! This moment is very surreal for me, as I have always dreamed of traveling the world, especially to Europe. I couldn’t have picked a better location to spend my semester abroad. I am ready to be challenged, see as much theatre as I can, and…
Did I Forget to Pack My Toothbrush?
Since I decided to study abroad for this fall semester, I have been on the receiving end of plenty of questions from friends and family. ‘Aren’t you excited?’ is the most recurring one, and I have learnt to promptly reply with an enthusiastic ‘Oh yeah! I can’t wait to get there’. Depending on who is…
Twiddling My Thumbs
4 days 9 hours 45 minutes, but who’s counting? Me. I’m counting. It would be a lie if I said that my live countdown to London hasn’t been a the theme of my summer. Some people might think that focusing too much on what’s to come distracts from appreciating the present moment; however, I disagree….
