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…
Category: UK: CEA CAPA London
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….
London: Pre Departure
Well, here it is! The day is finally here. The day I have been both looking forward to and trying to prolong. Tomorrow afternoon I fly to Boston to meet up with my roommate, Dina. I am so excited to see her and to see Boston, as I have never been there before! I am…
Next Stop… London.
After a summer full of traveling and exploring, my friends and family must all think I’m crazy to once again be embarking on yet another foreign journey. Just weeks ago I returned from a whirlwind 6 week long backpacking trip across Europe, in which I visited 12 countries and never stayed in the same place…
Studying Abroad: Pre-Departure
It’s unreal to think that I will be studying abroad in London, as well as taking part in an internship program. I always knew I wanted to study abroad while in college, so getting the chance to do so is truly a blessing. Before receiving the pre-departure email I was extremely anxious because I didn’t…
Pre-departure to London
As of right now, I have mixed emotions about my trip. Of course I am excited, however I am also nervous for going into a new place that I have never been to before. I have heard some amazing stories about the wonderful experiences to be had in London. I have heard that some must…
Stages of Preparation
I’m supposed to be nervous for this, right? Funny thing is, I’m not. At all. This is my first time off the continent and I can’t wait to get a move on. Other than the daunting 9 hour plane ride, I’m all grins. Thinking this a bit odd, I scouted the CAPA (and other study abroad…
17 days until departure!
I can’t believe I am about to start my semester-long journey to London. It is not exaggeration to say I’ve been waiting for this moment since high school, when I first became fascinated by London, even though I’ve never had the chance to visit. I am overcome by many different emotions, many similar to the…
