Misfortune

So, since I’ve last posted I spent some more time in England, went to Brussels, Belgium, and am now in Paris. I lost my passport in London…it was most likely stolen. So I went to the embassy and got a new replacement one. The only problem was I lost the visa that was my ticket […]

The London Accent

Well I said I would make one more post before I left for Europe, but that was a lie. I’m sitting right now in an internet cafe in London. You’ll hear about that soon, but first let me tell you a little more about myself. I am a political science major at Gustavus, with an […]

Back in the U.S.

Well, I’m home! After travelling for roughly 32 hours (12 hours in flight and a 16-hour layover in Amsterdam, plus getting to and from airports), I’m finally back in America. And boy, is it strange. Everything is so spread out here, plus the people are louder and I don’t feel like I stick out because […]

Final week

My final full week in London is approaching quickly, and I’m doing the cliche thing and reflecting on everything that has happened over the last fourteen weeks. Sometimes I just double take on myself and think, “Wow . . . did I really live all that?” I’m ready to come home, but at the same […]

Visitors

My parents, brother, and grandpa arrived safely in London yesterday morning, and last night after class I took them out to the Blue Lion pub across the street from LDA and then down to the Jubilee Bridge to see the London skyline at night. They were all terribly jetlagged, but happy to be here. It […]

Final break

It’s hard to think that I have less than a month left in London, but everything is beginning to see an end. Last weekend was our final break — we had four days off from LDA. Kirsten and I were originally planning a trip to Prague, but finances said otherwise, and we ended up sticking […]

Vacation in Paris

Okay, so I just had one of the best weekends of my life! Paris is my new favorite city! My flatmates sheri, andrea, and I took the chunnel to Paris friday night and checked into the most adorable hotel near the theatre d’odeon, right near notre-dame. The hotel was really nice and cheap, but it […]

Midterms and more

I’m thinking my plans for going to Prague are falling through, but the good news is that I just bought a ticket for Paris! Madame Gronhovd will be proud of me, I’m going to attempt to use my two semesters of French to make my way around the city for three days. Andrea and Sheri, […]

My first post

It’s kind of odd that this is my first entry and yet the semester is half over. I don’t quite know where to begin, as this semester has been one that has changed my direction in life tremendously. I’m studying at the London Dramatic Academy in the heart of London, in Bloomsbury near Russell Square […]
