I have adored going through all the cathedrals/churches during our stay. I had no idea the magnitude of their construction until we first toured St. Paul’s, so I was incredibly excited to tour Westminster. As soon as we entered the Abbey, I grew so appreciative of the opportunity to stand in one of the most …

Fringe Theatre: Lift edition
June 13th, 2022 For my fringe theatre experience, I -along with the rest of the group- watched Lift. Besides the plot of the musical, I was surprised by the environment, and how I interacted with the production itself. While I did not care for the plot much, I did appreciate the intimacy of the room, …
Food food & indeed more food
June 13th, 2022 After spending a few weeks in London, I have been lucky enough to venture over to Borough Market twice. The first time, I had a BBQ wrap and then a German dessert: Bienenstich. The second time, I finally achieved my goal of getting a toastie! It was definitely more than I expected, …
The Glass Menagerie
June 13th It has been nearly a week since I went to see The Glass Menagerie starring Amy Adams. I am glad I gave myself time to think about it and saw other plays before beginning this blogging process. I was overall disappointed in the production and directing of the play and just wanted more …
The Glass Menagerie Review
Like everyone else in the theatre abroad program, I was pretty underwhelmed by the Glass Menagerie, however I think I liked it more than a lot of my classmates. The play overall felt very low energy and I was very board by physical choices made by the actors. What I saw was a lot of …
#10 Memory? Sermon? Or Something Else…
The word that stuck out to me after seeing The Glass Menagerie with Amy Adams was “impersonal.” Memory should feel incredibly intimate and present no matter how much time has passed and how hazy that specific event has become. It sneaks up on you, it sparks emotion that you can’t explain, and it stays with you longer …

Westminster Abbey is one of the most famous cathedrals in all of Europe. Its where every royal coronation takes place and is the resting place of many important historical figures! The architecture is much more gothic in style than that of St. Paul’s Cathedral that we visited earlier in the trip. While touring Westminster Abbey, …

Bath Time for the Study Abroad Kids!
Today was our first day trip and I could not have been more impressed! The morning started with a train ride to Bath, England. First of all, the train system is so convenient, and America really needs to take notes. Why we are all obsessed with cars and not an incredibly convenient form of travel …
Bending and Snapping at Regent’s Park
My day started with incredible excitement. It is time for LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL. Getting ready for the outing, I knew I had to think pink. Elle Woods would expect nothing short of excellence. The only and obvious choice for an outfit was my pink corduroy pants. Dressed in pink and ready to scream until …
May 28th: St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Struggle for Zorro
The only event scheduled for this day was St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of the city’s premier landmarks and a significant center for religious life for over a thousand years in its various incarnations. Molly, the same woman who educated us during our bus tour, led us on an excellent tour of the church’s exterior, main …
