Farewell, Farewell for the time being. This has been an amazing trip in which we have discovered the UK, grown together as friends, and learned about ourselves. After struggling to get out of bed, several of us ate our last dining hall breakfast here, something that I will not miss. A few of us continued […]

HOWDY! Our last full day of this memorable trip started bright and early at breakfast in the dining hall. We then went to the classroom for our final lesson, during which we discussed the interconnectivity of all the concepts that were discussed during our class for the last few weeks, as well as how they […]

Dearest gentle reader,   After another hearty English breakfast at the Imperial College, we boarded our coach and headed to the city of Oxford. The bus ride was sleepy and uneventful, provided by our wonderful driver, George. Upon arrival, we stepped out into the bright morning sun and gazed upon the cobbled streets and Gothic […]

Howdy! Day 14 began with a nice breakfast in the Imperial College Dining Hall. As we get closer and closer to leaving the UK, many of us have begun to take advantage of the commodity that is “beans on toast” while we still have it. After breakfast, we met up with our tour guides, Gayle […]

Howdy! Today was our third day in London, which started off slow for some but ended with a bang for all. We had a free morning, which many used to catch up on sleep lost to playing cards, but others took advantage of the time by visiting the British Museum, shopping at Spitalfields Market, or […]

We split up into several groups to explore the city on our own. Later in the morning, groups went to sky garden to get the best views of London. In particular, we […]

Howdy!    Today we traveled from York to London and went on a tour to get acquainted with the new city. Our day started bright and early, with a 7:15 departure from our dorms in York with all of our luggage. At 7:30, we ate breakfast at the York St. John’s dining hall. The food […]

Howdy! Today we visited the English coastal city of Whitby after a rushed hot breakfast. Most of us woke up way too early and the breakfast didn’t open till 8 when we were supposed to arrive at 7:30. To get to Whitby, we road a steam train through the North York Moors. Because, we showed […]
