A Look Back Before I Go
As I stand on the precipice of a new semester, I reflect back on the past semester. Of course, that would be my semester abroad studying at Goldsmiths College in London, the one which you have been following on my blog. This past semester has truly been an experience which will ever ring clear in [...]
Sick Day
I know it has been a while since I last posted, but this is not without good reason. You see, when I was in London I fell very ill, and I have been recuperating ever since then. It has been a long and difficult recovery, but now I am back on my feet and in [...]
The PC Goblin
Technology and I have never gotten along very well. I have tried so hard to be friends with it. Even from when I was a tadpole I really tried to understand technology. I played all the latest video games, I read up on how the systems worked, I even tried to build a computer at [...]
Adapt and Survive
I am sorry that I have not posted in such a long time. You see, I have been up to my eyeballs in work, and that is what I am going to talk about today. Studying in another country is not only about the things you see and do, it is also about academics. I [...]
And I Thought The British Had Bad Food
So, this week my mother and father came out to visit me for my birthday. We had a great time going all around the city and to some other spots outside the city, but that is not what I want to talk about in this post. I want to put a horrible stereotype to bed. [...]
The Garden of England
As a boy I always dreamed of castles, knights, and dragons. Since I can remember I have always had a fascination with the allure of the great halls and tall walls of castles and palaces. There is such a romanticism attached to those great stone fortress homes that has drawn me into their grey sturdy [...]
The Things You Find When You Are Looking For Nothing
In this week’s episode I will tell you all about another adventure from London. This adventure is another perfect example of what you never expect to find when you are not looking for anything at all. This idea of stumbling on really cool stuff seems to be a constant theme on this excursion to London. [...]
A Festival of Films
I want to begin this entry with a statement of apology to the people out there in internet land. This has been one of the craziest weeks of my life and I have had no time whatsoever to formulate this post. Between going to class, studying, and going on small but tantalizing adventures I have [...]
A Market Adventure
So, on Saturday, a small exploratory force ventured out to Camden Town to experience the market. I was a bit skeptical about venturing out into unknown territory, but I made the long journey to the uncharted lands. As we exited our craft there was a large mass of people causing a humongous bottle neck at [...]
The London You Don’t Know
Before I left for London I was told that the city was a very grey, foggy, damp place, but the city is proving those naysayers wrong. I have been in London for just about two weeks now and the weather has been out of this world. I am not exaggerating when I say the first [...]
