Today we leave for the airport, to head home after a month in England. This month has been very fun, and as ready as I am to go back to Fayetteville I will definitely miss it. These past few days we have spent not in London, but in Stratford-upon-Avon, a small English town in the …

I learned to question my anxious imagination, I have constantly proven it wrong on this trip
By Brittaney Mann I was not expecting Stratford-upon-Avon to be as calm and nice as it is; I thought every touristy area in England would feel chaotic. I had taken a small trip to Cambridge the week before coming here, and it was very busy there — not as much as it is in London. …

Melancholy Midsummer Night
I’m writing this post as I watch the rain fall outside my window, and the mood fits the emotions I have. This trip has been absolutely life changing, and I can’t believe that it’s already been a month. I’m sad to leave tomorrow, but I am so thankful for the many friendships I’ve gained along …
Parting is Such Sweet…uhh…
Stratford was an excellent way to end this trip. While I do wish that Back to the Future was the last show I saw on this trip I did like seeing the production of As You Like It at the Royal Shakespeare Company. The show was really interesting because it was the 1970s cast coming …
6/18: Final Post at Stratford-upon-Avon

Some Cool Glass at the Victoria and Albert Museum
The Victoria and Albert museum was a labyrinth of historical archives and art pieces that I feel like I barely explored even though I never retraced my steps in the couple hours I was there. There were several cool things to see even with the theatre exhibit unfortunately being temporarily shut down. For instance there …

6/15: The V and A Museum is a Funny Name and (Out of Nowhere) Opinions about Hunting
When first strolling through the museum, I was desperately looking for clocks so that I could talk about Back to the Future: The Musical, which is one of the best musicals I have seen since Kinky Boots. Instead, I found a painting called “Still Life with a Dead Stag” and as soon as I saw …
