Day 12! No class today! Instead, we took a train to Sheffield to see Pride and Prejudice. The whole trip started off well with nearly everyone in my class wearing someting cute for this performance. We also had little issue getting on our train and finding seats. Once we got there, we ate our packed lunch in Winter Gardens and set off to do our own things. I went into the Sheffield museum and toured its current exhibits. One was on birds and several paintings...

Day 11! Today, I spent the majority of my time being a student. I worked on a project for my class this afternoon and then took a 2 hour nap. I call that a successful day alone! I also planned a trip to Spain later on in my trip. We will see how much I remember from Spanish class. (Wish me luck Profe!) Other than that, I did nothing, and I am okay with that! I will be visiting 4 cities in 5 days starting tomorrow and will need all my energy for that. Wish me l...

Day 10! Has it really been ten days already? And, at the same time, has it only been ten days? I feel as though I have accomplished so much but am still shocked that I am here.

I received my first overseas letter from my grandma (Thanks Danman!) and my shoes that I left at home while packing. I now have four pairs to choose from which is quite differe...

Day 9! My last day in London was spent in a unique way, but I couldn't have been happier with it. I went shopping and picked up a few momentos, but then I went with a group to church. We went to Hillsong, a non-denomentational, Christian church. It was very contemporary in comparison to my church back home, yet I cannot believe how welcoming they were. The second we walked in the door our hands were shook, and we were welcomed. When they heard the accent that ca...

Day 8! Where do I even begin! I started off early with breakfast at the hotel and then went to Oxford Street for some shopping. I bought a fabulus bathing suit which only mocked me as the day got cooler. Afterwards, we hopped on the Tube, bound for Buckingham Palace. There were people EVERYWHERE. We were just in time for the changing of the guards. I was able to snag some good photos at the end. Then we had a photography session. Alas, the queen did not make it...
