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. Today, I returned to class and my beloved Harlaxton. I have to say it is quite a bit colder here than in London. 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 weather was a little chilly but overall sunny and perfect. We then made our way to the British Museum. I have come to the conclusion tha...

Day 6! Today was probably the most beautiful day I have had here. To celebrate, after lunch, we took a walk down Harlaxton's one mile driveway and out the front gate. We then spent a good chunk of the afternoon exploring the small village we are situated in, Harlaxton. The streets were lined with cute old homes with some of the most amazing gardens I have ever seen. We were in search of the path that ran along the canals but could never find it. That will be an ...
