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…
Journal Entry #2
My first month in London has felt like a century. The adjustment to living with new people in a completely different environment has been more challenging than I was expecting. No dryer has been interesting, 3 hour classes have been tiring, the cost of living here has been strenuous but it comes with the territory….
Con Permiso y Con Altura
Once again, I’m sitting in an airport. This time, me and Gaby are about to take the first trip of the semester to las Islas Canarias, specifically Tenerife. This time as I’m sitting here awaiting my planes arrival, I’m able to reflect on the past two and a half weeks in Oviedo. Honestly, it’s the…
