Media City or Emerald City

We were back to being up and at it in the morning, and we met at 9:15 a.m. in business casual for an hour-long ride to Manchester to get to Salford University and BBC.  When we arrived, the space was so cool.  I didn’t realize they were in the same little complex of businesses.  They […]

Let’s all go in a Yellow Submarine

Today had a really good start.  I got to sleep in.  I still ended up getting up at like 10:30, so I could go to brunch with my friends. We met at a brunch place called The Hub that was pretty close to our hotel.  Everyone had to meet back at the hotel lobby to go […]

Shake to the Speare.

The next day we had a walking Shakespeare Tour around the city where we, saw all the places Shakespeare lived his life, and the legacy he left behind.  We even stopped at the graveyard he and his family are buried at. I am going to be honest though; the more I hear about him the less […]

Winds or what? Windsor Castle!

I woke up, and was so sad to leave London.  It is one of my new favorite places.  We had to wear our matching blue shirts, so I didn’t have to pick out an outfit. We also looked like we were on a kindergarten field trip, but it was funny.   We hopped on the bus at […]

2 Media Visits for The Price of 1 (not really but 2 visits in 1 day)

Today was early.  We had to meet up by 8:45 this morning.  It wasn’t only an early day, but also a long day because we had two media visits in one day.  It was all fine and dandy though, but it poured all day long (and would pour harder when it was time to walk […]

Take 2!

Second day!  I’ll be honest, I was super nervous to be jet lagged while I was adjusting to London time, but it wasn’t that bad.  I think the way we timed our plane out made it really easy to fall into the day because we arrived in the morning and just started our day. The […]

The Longest Journey

Today was probably one of the longest days of my life, but also one of the most exciting because I traveled out of the country for the first time!  When I got to the airport I realized that my suitcase was over-weight, and my carry-on bag was not a very good one.  I had to […]

Day 10: Should Have Taken the Bus

Throughout the trip so far, we have had to misfortune to ride on some buses that could barely carry all of our passengers, let alone our luggage. We assumed it would be the same scenario on our short ride from our hotel in Manchester to the airport. However, when we dragged ourselves and our belongings […]

ALEXA PLAY I MISS YOU BY BLINK 182

Today has been a hectic day full of traveling. From delayed flights, to random security checks, to getting home three hours after our designated time, we finally made it back to America. Coming on this trip I barely knew anyone in the class on a personal level. I don’t think Dara and I even talked […]
