Hello, blogging world! Like many of my classmates on my program, I wanted to start a blog to capture some (if not all) of the best moments of my study abroad experience this semester. I will be in London for two weeks, exploring the city, seeing plays, visiting museums-all things touristy, essentially-and then I will move to Norwich, England for 4 months of university. As an English major this is the ideal place for me to go-rich in history, the home to so many amazingly talented authors, poets and playwrights, and let's be honest-it's just a beautiful place!! So, I will be sharing my adventures and memories as I take on the life of an English university student.
Right now I am in the midst of packing, and let me tell you, it has been a struggle. Trying to fit enough clothes for two weeks (let alone 4 months!!) into a suitcase is a challenge, and as an over-packer to begin with, I am not really feelin' it yet. There is also the challenge of WHAT to wear! I tend to dress in the J. Crew-esq style, but my professor encouraged all of us to be "euro-chic"--still trying to figure out exactly what that is.. BUT, I am overall just so excited and thrilled to have the opportunity to live in another country and experience a different sort of lifestyle other than my own. 11 days and counting until I take off in Newark!!
