Day 2: Alexa, play “Take a Walk”

Alexa, play “Take a Walk” by Passion Pit. And I don’t just reference this tune because I amounted 8.1 miles yesterday. Day two began with a lecture by Jason MacKenzie at Regent’s University about the current media landscape in the UK. While in black and white this media visit was labeled at a lecture, it […]

From to Student to Wizard

Day two of London took a fun turn. The morning started off with the class going to Regent’s University where we had a lecture with Jason Mackenzie. The lecture was not a long and boring American lecture that I am used to. He was quite entertaining to listen to while getting my fellow peers involved […]

Day 2: Okay, Eye see you London.

With a full night of sleep, the group felt a little more recharged today and rightfully so because we had a visit to our sister school Regent University here in the heart of London. After some much-needed coffee and breakfast we made our way though the “tubes” of London and found ourselves outside the school […]

It’s the Eye of the Tiger, It’s the Thrill of the Flights

After a slightly damp journey, we arrived at the agency for our first lecture. Battenhall is a lot different than most agencies, and is truly unique. We heard from a multitude of people, […]

Day 2: Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen

Today was an exciting one because it was our first media visit of the trip at Regents University. To get there, we had to take the Underground/tube, which was an experience all on its own. I enjoyed the trip because then I was able to get around on it later on my own. After the […]
