Midterms Week!

It was midterms week here at Richmond!!  How crazy to think that I am about half way through my classes here... yikes!  Time is flying by!  I spent a bunch of time doing school work this week, but also found some time to continue learning about London with experiences outside of the classroom!

On Tuesday, I enjoying meeting a Grove City College Grad at Camden Market for lunch!  Sam graduated GCC in 1996 with an English major.  He went on to study at Oxford and now lives in London with his wife and two kids as a lawyer.  It was great to meet him and spend some time hearing about his life and getting advice!

For my classes on Wednesday, I went on an architecture walk along Fleet Street and explored the old London docks!  I additionally went to Covent Garden Market (definitely becoming a favorite destination of mine!!), Courtauld Gallery in Somerset House (I especially liked the impressionist works there!), and the Museum of London Docklands.  As always, it was very cool to learn more about the history of London and how it has evolved to become the city I am loving living in today!

Relieved to have completed my midterms today, I am ready to relax some and enjoy spring break next week!  Hope you all are able to fend off the winter blues back in the states!!  Signing off! =)
