London Haul
I am one of the most frugal people you’ll ever meet. I tend to pick up pennies off the ground, thrift shop and order the cheapest meal on the menu. I don’t online shop unless there’s free shipping and I’m constantly searching for the best deals by looking for coupons and freebies, especially anything that ...
Social/ Political Issues in AU
I’m becoming very interested in the political and social issues that Australia is currently facing. I love living in the city with such a vibrant campus because the students here really take on and tackle a lot of the things they have issues with. For example, yesterday on Eastern Ave., a marched was formed to ...
And That’s A Wrap
DSquared2 retail store And that’s a wrap. Our final London College of Fashion course is finally over. Yesterday we had our last Trend Reporting class, which was an interactive course that involved a lot of excursions to art museums, fashion companies and luxury department and flagship stores. In just five days we visited three museums ...
Astronomy!
I would like to take the time to talk about a very interesting and worthwhile class here in Sydney. I am currently enrolled in PHYS1500: Astronomy, which is a course that assumes no prior physics knowledge (though if you have some it will give you an edge on the class). It is a great science ...
Weekend fun!
Sorry this post is a little later than usual, this weekend was Nick’s Birthday! I’ve spent a lot of this weekend running around town gathering supplies for a small party and making a cake! We went out to dinner last night in the CBD to a restaurant near Hyde Park. It’s a pub with some ...
International Festival (Food, Food, Food!)
It’s the beginning of the third week of classes and I’m starting to feel really settled in here. I can find all my classes no problem now and even direct some lost students to buildings all over campus. I try to walk different ways to class just to get to know the area better. Having ...
A Market Full of Great Expectations
One of my sorority sisters also happens to be in London, and she’s actually living in the same exact building just one floor above my flat. She is doing the London and Berlin study abroad program and just arrived in London a few weeks ago. Today we decided to go to Camden Market, since neither ...
End of Week Two
The second week ended well, especially when I finally got my university ID. The past few days have been a lot of studying to catch up in the classes that I was late to enroll in along with keeping up with the new work I have. The Queen Mary building is nice because there are ...
London Above and Beyond
The view from the top of Primrose Hill I can’t believe today was the very last day of my first portion of the study abroad program. Today we had our very last class, where our professor took us to Camden to explore the block of colorful houses. At the very end we walked up Primrose ...
