This is the question in the mirror facing Meagan and I as we walked through the Club to Catwalk exhibiton at the Victoria and Albert Museum today. For our class, we went to the V&A and were given time to explore. I have no idea how this exhibit had anything to do with Victoria or Albert, but it was possibly the most favorite exhibit I’ve … Continue reading Would You Let You In?
I’m not going to say that this week has been particulary eventful, because in all truth, it wasn’t. Last week was our first week of classes. On Mondays, I have London in the Victorian Age. That, as well as my class on Wednesdays (London, the Past in the Present; a history through museums) are taught by the same professor and it’s a study abroad class. … Continue reading Daily Thoughts I Have on the Tube and Other Mundane London Activities
So, let me first start off this by saying that I love London. I love the city, the architecture, the history and more. But, there are obviously things I really don’t like and I miss from America and I know I’ve been complaining a lot to everyone so I’m sorry and I really do love it here and will complain a lot less when I … Continue reading Laundry Costs $7.57 For One Wash Cycle and Other London Woes
So I’m actually sitting in the national gallery blogging right now (even though I have no wifi and it won’t post till later). I decided to spend the day by myself and sightsee so I’m in Trafalgar Square at the National Gallery. All of the maps cost money so I just decided to wander. I actually had to stop and sit down because I’m in … Continue reading National gallery
So today, Katie Sarah and I decided to be tourists and go see the Natural Museum of History upon recommendation. I now understand why there are so many people at all the tourist attractions! London is expensive man, but luckily most of the museums are free. The museum was pretty cool, and very old. The architecture was very beautiful. There were far too many children … Continue reading Tourism At Its Finest
So today we saw the famous Harrods! It’s the most beautiful clothing store you’ve ever seen. Today Alex and I decided we need little booties to blend in. That seems to be the style here, instead of high boots. I also needed cool high tops. I brought my nikes to work out and stuff but everyone wears cool high top sneakers. So at harrods I … Continue reading When I Die Bury Me in Harrods
Today we had orientation for the University of Westminster. Then we went to a pub called St. George’s for lunch it was really yummy. Now we’re just chilling until 7:00 when we have a dorm party with our (super cute) RA at a pub down the street. We explored our neighborhood a little bit today, it’s called Shoreditch. Here is my favorite piece of graffiti … Continue reading January 6
This is a picture of our tiny hotel room. Like I said my roommate is amazing though so I got really lucky. I’m sitting as far in the corner as I can and the dark shadow across the room is right next to the door to leave and the airplane sized loo. Continue reading St. Giles, London
So the other post got cut a bit short because I’m doing this on my phone. Long story short, I brought the wrong piece for my laptop charger and can’t stick it into the adapter so I’m laptop-less for now. We’re still in the hotel until tomorrow, when we will move in the dorms and I’ll figure out wifi and how to get my laptop … Continue reading First Two Days in London (actually)
