Our last day of media visits was by far my favorite one despite having a think mustache of mucus and a chapped nose. I started my day in a little french bakery directly around the corner from the hotel where I had the world’s best eclair and flirted with the french barista, you could say […]

Edin-Bruh!
I’ve been looking forward to going to Edinburgh for a very long time so I was irritated when I woke up and still felt like the Walking Dead. With the right amount of medication I thought I’d be able to enjoy the day, but not the flight. The flight was terrible on my sinuses and […]
I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it
We got an early start to the morning today with a walking tour of Stratford and some key places related to William Shakespeare. I love Stratford and would move here within a heartbeat. It is exactly what you picture a little stereotypical old English town to be. I’m not a huge Shakespeare person but obviously […]
Reflecting
After having almost a three hour delay coming home yesterday, I am shocked that I managed to wake up early. I guess my brain is still on London time no matter how little sleep I get. During the delay, the flight home and this morning my mind has drifted back to this lovely trip. I […]
Day 12: Bittersweet Journey Home
We started our last day on our trip quite early as we would be traveling all day. After having a nice breakfast at our hotel, everyone finished packing and headed onto our coach to take us to the airport in Edinburgh. Once at the airport, we checked in, went through security fairly quickly, and waited […]
Day 11: Last Day in Edinburgh
Today was another free day, for the most part. We had the morning and afternoon for our own plans, so of course, I wanted to sleep in a little to catch up on some rest. By sleeping in, though, I mean getting up at 8 am instead of 6 am. A group of us walked […]
Media City
In the morning we piled into the bus and I mean piled, we had to crawl over suitcases, and made our way to Media City. Dr. Annabelle Waller greeted us and toured us around Salford University. Salford feels like a media conservatory because they have some of the finest equipment I’ve seen at a school. […]
Day 10: Exploring Edinburgh
We started our day off this morning by getting breakfast at our hotel and preparing for our media visits. We walked to the French Embassy where we met with Ollie Davis from the Fringe Society, the charity that oversees the operation of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Ollie is the head of marketing for the group […]
Liverpool Sick Day
I woke up feeling worse than I have in over a year. I’m pretty sure this was the result of a sinus infection, and man, it was brutal. I was absolutely miserable for our Beatles Tour. I wanted, more than anything, to stay in bed that day and not go outside. I could have watched […]
Something Rotten in the State of my Sinuses
I’d start this post with a witty Shakespeare quote/pun but that would require me to do more research than I am currently willing to do to make the joke any good. Instead I will just say that the best part of the Shakespeare tour was seeing the Royal Shakespeare Company. They have several different buildings […]
