This adventure I have embarked on started off by hearing through many that studying abroad was one of the best experiences one could participate in and attend. I quickly knew that the opportunity to travel and gain a broader perspective of the world we live in would be one that I would not want to pass up. However, I grew hesitant over the idea of losing a whole semester at TCU if I did decide to study abroad for the long length of time it required. This is where the thought of doing a summer program came in, and luckily, the program built around my major was to be spent in the city I would most want to travel to...London!
The more I learned about what this program would entail, the more intrigued I became. The English classics we would read, such as Jane Eyre and Atonement were books I still have yet to read (does that make me a bad English major?) but have always wanted to cross of my reading bucket list. I was all in by the time I heard we would be meeting for class every morning at the British Museum, with many artifacts and treasures I have learned about while in class. It dawned on me that this trip brought together all my academic and non-academic passions and interests together. Because of this, I am thrilled to begin my adventure!
For one month, I will leave behind family and friends back home along with the beautiful and sunny LA weather for english culture, lush gardens, highly anticipated afternoon tea and so much more. I have so far spent my summer reconnecting with high school friends and spending some fun days at the beach, but look forward to what awaits me for the second half of summer! Until next time, Lindsay.
