Quarantine day??? Just kidding, it’s day 26 for us here in NYC. Things are progressively weirder everyday. The good news from NYC (even though I am trying to avoid the news lately) is it seems that even though the rate of death is increasing, the rate of hospitalization is decreasing. Which hopefully means social distancing is working. Obviously, even if it is working, I know … Continue reading Hey There All You Cool Cats and Kittens
The fun thing about dating someone from another country is that you end up seeing much more of the country than you would otherwise. For example, before I met Dave, I studied abroad in London and visited a few other cities in the UK. I had been to Edinburgh, Bath, Windsor, Oxford, and Birmingham. Now, I end up flying to the UK, and I don’t … Continue reading East Grinstead, a Place Much Nicer Than it Sounds
Our last trip to the UK was over Christmas, and any time we’re in the UK, I try to combine a visit with a little vacay, (or holiday as the brits say). As I recently decided I want to pursue my PhD in the UK in a few years, I decided we would be hitting up Oxford for a brief overnight stint. One of the … Continue reading Recent Trip to Oxford Part 1

Hello everyone!So there were a few weeks where nothing interesting happened and now it has been nothing but adventure . I had my last day of classes on April 3 and took a train to meet my two amazing uncles in Birmingham England! Birmingham is how I imagined all of England to be. It was 50 degrees and rainy and windy. And I’m not talking … Continue reading I’m Alive, Hello Hola Ciao
1. Kim and Kanye on the Vogue cover. WHY. I refuse to buy it. 2. Kate Upton as the new face for Bobbi Brown. Awful, sports illustrated does not equal high fashion. 3. The London Aquarium. I went last week because I really like aquariums. It was supposed to be 12 pounds with a student discount after 3 pm. Apparently this is only online and … Continue reading I HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SOCIETY TODAY LIKE MOST OTHER DAYS
It’s only appropriate that my last post was called “An American Girl in Paris Part Une” (stolen straight from Sex and the City in case you didn’t realize) because I am luckily going back to Paris! Let’s backtrack a little bit though. My last class is April 3. That means I only have two weeks left of classes. I am here until May 24th though. … Continue reading The Reason I’m Bad at Living in a City is Because I Hate People
Bonjour my lovely chaps. I know it’s been 500 years since I last wrote and my apologies. The day after Harry Potter World, we went to Stonhenge, Windsor, and Bath. Windsor was pretty cool although we didn’t go in the castle or anything. We did get amazing fudge for a really good price though. Bath was also alright I didn’t actually see the Roman Baths … Continue reading An American Girl in Paris Part Une
So today was the day I’ve been most looking forward to since I’ve come to London. I can go home happy now. Just kidding I’m never leaving. We went to the Harry Potter Warner Brother’s studio tour! My day started super early at 8AM not that I slept at all the night before because I was so damn excited. Katie, Sarah, and I got on … Continue reading Whomever Said Disney Land is the Most Magical Place on Earth Hasn’t Been to Harry Potter World
Last Thursday, I took myself on a date to the London Zoo and went on an actual date to the cinema to see Twelve Years a Slave. Friday I went to a place called the Breakfast Club. It’s supposed to be really famous but it wasn’t that good. I think it’s probably a bit overrated. This weekend was pretty low key, Friday I only went … Continue reading The Story of How I Almost Met Ron Weasley and Other Things That Happened This Week
