Hi everyone! Sorry it’s been a little while since my last post. Euro trip, for all it’s greatness, had rather limited internet. But alas, this was was nothing!

Remember those “warm rays of the sun” I mentioned in my last blog? Unfortunately, Barcelona did not get the message. Here’s how it went down. So, I had a bus to the airport at 5:20, meaning I got up at 4:45 am!! AND I didn’t just pull an all-nighter and declare that I’d sleep on [...]

Chilly London greetings, everyone. It feels like just yesterday, I was able to wear shorts and a tank top to bed, confident in the abilities of my heater. Oh wait, that was just yesterday.

I was about to write a cute beginning transition of “As this week is wrapping up…” when I realized that that is a lie: it is Wednesday (er, almost). And yet so much has happened! And so much more will happen! Ahhh so exciting! So let’s see. I left off at the Westminster Variety show, [...]

And now for the exciting conclusion to my last two weeks: my trip to Dublin! So, last Thursday was obviously spent packing and getting everything settled, but I managed a bit of time for exploration before we took off. I hit up the Museum of Childhood for my Devising London class and got to wander [...]

Hello, everyone! Apologies for posting so late; it’s been a very hectic past two weeks. Two weeks ago, I was gone from Wednesday to Sunday night being Welsh with my lovely roommate Rebecca.
