Today we saw our first play of many – Dancing at Lughnasa at the National Theatre. This show definitely had it’s ups and downs. Some of the things that I really enjoyed about the show were the technical aspects, I loved how deep / far back the set went. It made the set look bigger, …

First day in Londeeernn
After two days that felt like one, I have finally arrived in London, England. A whole other country whatttttttt?? Being here in London feels strangely familiar. Like I have been here before and already know how it works. Using the tube was super simple; perhaps that is because I have used the subway in NYC …
Hirschy Highlight: I Survived.
Two flights, one screaming baby, four noisy neighbors, two very bland meals, one fully-booked flight, two facial scans, and three bags later, and I have officially arrived in London. I have officially set my feet on foreign soil and breathed in the fresh air that smells nothing like home. I will say, even now, I …
Intro to London
My first impressions of London were great! I embarked on a journey of traveling for more than 24 hours but it was so worth it. Traveling separately from the group was interesting and a bit lonely, but I got to read and sleep a lot so it wasn’t so bad. I had the best butter …

“Look at that McDonald’s!”
Today, we landed at London Heathrow airport at around 12:30 pm after a nine-hour flight and we wasted little time before we began exploring the historic city. Driving into the city, we were treated to quintessential English architecture including an interesting multi-story brick McDonald’s. Our stops for our first day were the tourist geared Piccadilly …
Finally Made It!
A lot of firsts have happened already for me upon arriving in London: Nine hours in the air is no small feat and neither is the jet lag that I am feeling, as I am typing this blog post at a mere 10pm but it feels like 1am. The flight was one that was filled …
We made it!!
We finally made it to London for our study abroad trip! After we got to the hotel, which felt like forever! We had a few hours off to unpack, find some food and explore the city before we all gathered back up to go learn the tube, see Picadilly Circus and Leister Square. A few …
