This is yet another late blog post, which just goes to show how busy and captivating life can be in London. The last two weeks of October I’ve become much more familiar with London as a city and Queen Mary as a school. With regards to London, I feel that no matter how much time…

I had to submit this blog early because I’m off to Rome for the next few days! This weekend begins my next phase of traveling! In the next few weeks I will also be visiting Barcelona and Edinburgh. Just like I wrote in my last blog, I have found myself concentrating more on academics than…

The past two weeks have been more academic than entertaining for me. I had one of my first assignments due last week, which is weird since we are practically halfway through the term at this point. Coming into the program, the professors who gave speeches during orientation told us that the workload might be difficult…

These past two weeks have been the slowest in London for me. This semester, I have to write eight essays that determine my grades: about 20,000 words in total! I have managed to complete 3 and I am almost done researching for my fourth. I have to put in the work now so I can…

Looking back on the first two weeks of October, my time in London seems to be a blur. By the second week of classes (the first week of October) my excitement of being in London had only increased and was still on the rise. My classes were all covering more and more interesting information. I…

On Tuesday (Oct. 11), a friend from the University of Pennsylvania, who is also studying abroad at Queen Mary, offered me…

I am having the best time of my life. Everyday London offers me a new adventure; there are an endless amount of things to see and do. Since my last blog post, I went to see Wicked in a theater, I went to the Imperial War Museum, checked out a bunch of different pubs, visited…

The past 2 weeks since my last post have been incredible; filled with traveling, sightseeing, and practically no sleep.  The first weekend following my previous post, we went to Berlin and Munich, Germany.  Berlin was beautifully cultured, with remains of the Berlin Wall situated right outside our hostel. Other amazing structures, like the Reichstag Building,…

London has treated me very well so far. I have made so many new friends and have had the opportunity to take in a lot London’s attractions. Some of the experiences I have had include: the British Museum, Tower of London, Big Ben, the Olympic village, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, the Museum of London, a…
