It’s March. Right about half way through my study abroad experience here in London. I loved it here the first month. After I realized that I was spending too much money going to places, eating out, and spending on alcohol, I really stopped a lot of it all together. That was the second month. I felt dull and I locked myself in my room, thinking about how unproductive I was. Now I\u2019m thinking I don\u2019t want to waste my time here. I\u2019m going to Lyon France next week. Dublin and Hamburg in May. Lina, my high school friend visited my in February and Ai will also be visiting me in May. I went to go watch Aladdin the musical last week. It was awesome and also really cheap. I used an app called Today Tix. I\u2019m going to go watch Phantom of the Opera next week. The Great Gatsby and Les Miserables are also coming up in April and May.
\nI got my midterm grades back. They\u2019re good. But only good because I panicked and prepared really hard for them. 93 on my Intro to Digital Audio and 85 on my Emotions class exam. The \u201cRollins method\u201d as my boyfriend and I call it, works really well. Bothering the professor and siting with them for hours until you really know the material and your professors tired of you. It worked. I also think Rollins professors are much more knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the content they teach though. Its understandable that Rollins tuition is high. Haha. The exams here are hard. Very detail oriented and little external support provided. Good experience.
\nThe people don\u2019t wear thick coats. They wear stylish thin trench coats and scarves. The older generations have very neatly painted nails and silk scarves. The younger generations are so ethnically and culturally diverse I cant tell who\u2019s local and who\u2019s not. I guess I\u2019d say they draw on eyebrows but very little eye makeup. The advertisements here are very witty. British humor. Sarcastic and not so straight forward. I have yet to observe people here. I started realizing that its kind of nice taking the tube alone. I get to stare and observe other people, see what the differences are .
\nI\u2019m starting to apply for Summer Internships that will give me room and board. I figured I cant make it for the deadline of the Summer Research I was going to apply for. That\u2019s a lesson. I also need to find volunteer opportunities for April and May so I can go out and learn some more. I need hours to log. Feeling like I\u2019m slowly getting back on track. One semester isn\u2019t as long as it seems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
