Home: it’s so close. England has been a beautiful, life-changing experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world, but sometimes I wake up in the morning, cold, my pillow uncomfortably damp from the generalized moisture I’ve found to be so common in this country, and just feeling… a little bit done. Yeah, part of that whole…
Christmas time in London
It’s Christmas time again! And here in the UK Christmas basically begins the day after Halloween because there is no Thanksgiving! While I did miss Thanksgiving, I do like how Christmas is basically two months here instead of one. I even got a little tree for our flat! There are decorations all over the city….
Reflecting on a letter from my past
Before coming over here i wrote a letter to future me telling myself to have the best time of your life and not to worry about anything and to just have fun. Well I can honestly say that I have done just that. Since I have been over here I have made so many new…
A letter from the Past
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…

Thanksgiving in London:

winter is here
Christmas and winter time have really set in here in London. It is so cold in London now I have to wear about four layers anytime I go outside. My hands are freezing off and I just keep thinking about the sunshine in Florida to get me through! I only have 6 more days of…
Five
There are five girls I’ve hung out with this whole time in Aix. They are all wildly different and wildly fascinating to listen to. I spend different parts of my day with these remarkable women and I’m learning more and more about them at every instance. Part of the dream of studying abroad is meeting…
Austria and Traveling Alone
In Austria, after being in Innsbruck, I went to a town called Sölden. The town was one of the few mountains open during the Thanksgiving holiday because a lot of the Alps, hadn’t gotten much snow. I am an avid snowboarder so it was really nice to finally escape the city life and craze of…
