Hey, it’s me again! Now that I’ve been taking classes for a couple of weeks, I’ve had time to schedule the rest of my semester in regard to traveling. Although I’ve mostly stayed within Spain so far (there’s A LOT to see), I’m visiting Italy next month and France in December. All I can say…
The Media in England
Within days of living here the ads and commercials that I would see on my phone and computer automatically shifted to show UK focused content. From this point I started to pay more attention to the media here in London. In general, I have noticed a very big difference in the way that the media…
Pre-Departure
Hey guys! As I sit in my room on the eve of my departure, already in the early stages of the excited panic yet to come, I’m glad that I have taken the time to reflect on how my expectations and life so far can and will shape this new experience. With such reflection, its…
October in Lancaster
17/10/19 It’s week two of classes and all I can say is Rollins has a lot to learn. Lancaster Uni is a very modern school, only founded in 1960. They have one person booths in the library, a charger with an outlet and USB port on each study space, an entire room for silent reading…
September in Lancaster
I finished my summer course on 13/9 so I decided to plan a mini holiday before term started. My first stop was Cologne, Germany. Cologne was definitely a lot different than I thought it was going to be. I knew elementry German, but I certainly didn’t feel my skills were up to par. The first…
First Impressions – Queen Mary University London
QMUL Queen Mary University of London. This was the first place I had contact with after landing in London Heathrow. The campus is different and the people as well. You are used to a small university filled with green spaces, people you know, and hot weather. Then you arrive to a larger university filled with…
Greece Blog #2
As a person with family roots from Greece, I consider learning Greek is such a special task. Having a better understanding of the language by taking a Modern Greek class twice a week has its benefits. It has both exposed me to another foreign language and allowed me to communicate with the people in Greece….
October Update!
Hey Everyone I am so excited to update you guys on how London has been for me so far. It has been exactly 39 since I have been in London and I have absolutely enjoyed every second of it. It has been such an experience so far from building relationships with my professors and classmates,…
London So Far
I have been in London for a full 5 weeks of classes and a week prior to that. I must admit, I am so pleased with how my experience is going. I had feared living in a foreign county alone and finding no one that I could relate to or enjoy the city with. Happily,…
October in London
Surprisingly to me, I haven’t felt homesick for Rollins. I can still see posts from friends at home, but I don’t necessarily care to watch them. And not because I’m jealous, but because I’ve met so many great people here that I only really care about what they’re doing around London and Europe on their…
