Well, everything is wrapped up and over. I finished my final exams and papers with one week left over to do what I wanted for the last week in London of my semester abroad. Well actually this title is completely accurate… I went away the weekend right after my finals were over. I went to [...]

Borough Market and an Encounter of the American Kind

So….two weeks are left until I leave London! Oh my! I knew this semester would speed by so quickly! In the midst of the impending final exams and essays I decided to take a break and pick up lunch at Borough Market. This market is absolutely wonderful and has some great food. I had a [...]

Guten Tag Germany

March 8th-11th It’s crazy how much traveling can wear you down and make you feel absolutely exhausted. My flight didn’t leave until fairly late at night but I had to account for the 2 hours in advance check in, the at least hour and a half long bus ride (which varies depending on how bad [...]

A slight backtrack
March 20th, 2012 · No Comments · First Year Study Abroad Experience, Yvette Alxandrou '15 - London, England
So i’m going to jump back in time a little bit, because I’ve realized that thinking about my trip to Paris has eclipsed my thoughts of other things I’ve been doing that are also very exciting. I’ve been seeing more plays, which is almost always an amazing experience. A Midsummer Night’s Dream was performed at [...]

one sidenote and Paris – La vie est belle!
March 15th, 2012 · 1 Comment · First Year Study Abroad Experience, Yvette Alxandrou '15 - London, England
So first a sidenote: I got up at 5am to head out to Cambridge Theater to get tickets for Matilda the musical. Roald Dahl is an incredible writer and so creative and unique. I loved reading his books when I was little. When the movie Matilda was created based of of his book Matilda I [...]

Family Dinner

Valentine’s Day - February 14th Well to start off, as usual, I was sick on Valentine’s Day. It seems as if whenever February comes around I fall ill. My parent’s anniversary is on Valentine’s Day and even though it’s not really my fault that I’m sick, I still always feel bad that it gets in the [...]

French toast & friends

So by the next weekend Lucie came to visit me in London. I was very excited! It had only been a week since we’d seen each other, but for some reason it’d felt like it’d been a while. As soon as she arrived we did a quick tour of essential tourist destinations in London. We [...]

The Super Bowl in England?

Sunday, February 5th It was Sunday, a day of excitement for Patriots and Giants fans all over the U.S…. and apparently, in London too, right? My family loves the Patriots. I thought I would go out to the school bar and see the game myself, hoping other fellow Americans might be there as well, although [...]

Tower of London & A Visit to Oxford!
February 16th, 2012 · No Comments · First Year Study Abroad Experience, Yvette Alxandrou '15 - London, England
January 31st Our trip to see the Tower of London was postponed, because Linnea was sick, but by the following Tuesday we took the Tube over and finally got to explore. I had been hesitant to visit the Tower of London at first, because of the ticket prices. I think mine was around £16-£17, and [...]

In the Land of Shakespeare
February 8th, 2012 · 2 Comments · First Year Study Abroad Experience, Yvette Alxandrou '15 - London, England
January 28th, 2012 Saturday morning we embarked on our journey to Stratford-Upon-Avon and also Warwick Castle. On the bus ride there I made some new friends – Katherine, Paul, and Kendra. They were also American students, but older than me, (which is not too unexpected since I am only a first-year). Before arriving our tour [...]
