Submitted by Kira Frank on the 2013 spring semester program in London, England…
INCREDIBLE must be the only way to describe what London has been. It is wild to think that I have only been here for a week, and we’ve already done so much! I am so excited to learn about all that London has to offer. While some areas seem ancient, others are so modern, and I am so excited to explore it all! During our panoramic tour of London, it was such a thrill to see sites such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and the Tower of London, places I had only seen in pictures or on TV. But now I get to see it and experience it all myself! The city is so extremely diverse, I don’t even know where to begin with my adventures! After having my first week of classes, the thing that stuck with me the most was a statement that my teacher said: “You are freer now than you’ll ever be”. I think that these are such wise words and I plan to live by them while I am here. I can already tell that this is going to be the best semester of my entire life!
