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 […]
Day 9: On the Road Again
Unfortunately, the time came to pack up and leave Liverpool. I loved my time spent in this city but the trip must go on and Manchester was waiting for us. After some hotel breakfast we got back onto the bus and made our way to Media City in Manchester. First, we talked to Annabelle from […]
Day 8: Letting it Be
Since we had the morning free to do what we pleased, I decided that it would be a good idea to sleep in a little bit more than I had been on the trip so far, especially after my long night out. After finally rousing myself I went with some friends to a cafe called […]
67 flights and several miles later..
Our final full day of the trip is here. It’s weird cause even after everything we’ve been doing exhaustion still hasn’t stopped me. Most of the group planned on making their way over to Arthur’s Seat today, the huge mountain in Edinburg. However a few of us didn’t want to wake up that early so […]
Buon compleanno David!
Waking up in Scotland was almost picture perfect. The room Dara and I shared looked right out onto the street, buzzing with people and shops. Getting up here was easy, because you truly looked forward to how the day was going to be spent. Today we got to visit two different places for media lectures. […]
Day 7: Wherefore Art Thou, Shakespeare
Fortunately we were only in that maze of a hotel for one night. We checked out of the hotel in the morning and went on a tour of Shakespeare’s birthplace near our hotel. We saw things like the school he attended when he was younger, the church he was buried in, and of course the […]
