Well, there are officially only 14 days left of the London CAPA program. Before we started the program we were told to write a letter (email) to our future selves on August 11th that would be sent out on a specific day in the future, and I received it the other day. To begin, I…
Pre-Pre-Finals Week

Thanksgiving in London:
Hi everyone! Last week was my first time experiencing Thanksgiving without my family, and let me tell you it was very different. My roommates and friends from other rooms in our flat complex (apartment complex) all decided that we should have a “friends-giving” since most of our parents were unable to come visit us during…
winter is here
