Hi Everybody! So lots to update on. Mom, Dad, and I went to Paris on Friday morning. We took Eurostar, the train that goes under the English Channel and it was so easy and much better than flying. Our hotel was in the Saint Germain des Pres district which is really close to the Latin Quarter and the Louvre, great location. Our first stop was Notre ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! Tonight I had class at the National Theatre. We were supposed to have a tour but there was some kind of technical rehearsal going on so it had to be rescheduled. We had time to have a short lecture and discussion though, and we got to have it outside which was so nice because today was a gorgeous day. We were waiting in the restaurant ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! Today was a lot of fun because I got to be a tourist with Mom and Dad. I met them at their hotel in the morning and we went and got muffins at this coffee place I like. Then we went on the Big Bus Tour which is this double decker bus tour all around London that Mom and I took when we were here two years ago. It stops a lot and you can ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! I'm really happy right now because my mom and dad are here to visit me in London! They just got here tonight, around 9:00 and they were pretty full from the food on the plane so I got some food at the airport and we took the tube back to their hotel which is right next to my tube stop, so very convenient. Dad then decided he was ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! So lot's to update on - I ended up leaving for Switzerland Friday morning as I was feeling much better. I had to change planes in Zurich and I ended up missing my connecting flight because my plane was late and I was really stressed out about it but then it ended up being fine because they had automatically booked me on the next one ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! So today was not the best day. I have had a cough for about a month now, but I felt fine besides that so I didn't want to go to the doctor because I don't have one here and I'm not too familiar with the NHS (National Health Service) besides what we learned in econ about its economic inefficiency. So anyway I woke up at 3:30 this ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! Tonight after work Caitlin and I decided to go down to Knightsbridge (home of Harrods) to do some shopping. It is a much closer walk than I realized and only took us about 20 minutes to get there. It was a beautiful night too so the walk was really nice. First we went to Burberry, the store there is huge and has such beautiful things ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! So today was a pretty typical Tuesday. I had work and then I went to do some laundry. The nice part was that Caitlin and Christina came with me, and it is much more fun to do laundry with friends. I got a card from the Wellesley Alumnae Office with a picture of Wellesley with lots of snow on it and a handwritten note inside saying ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! Tonight was a great night because I got to see Les Mis again! I had seen it when I came to London with my mom a couple years ago but I was dying to go again because I love it so much. Caitlin, Amy, and I met up in Leicester Square where they have tons of booths that sell discount tickets. Amy decided to stay for dinner but she was too ( Read more... )

Hi Everybody! I have lots to report on. First of all, on Thursday morning I went to an event that the Wellesley Alum Association was having at the National Gallery. They got the gallery to open up an hour early for us to have a private viewing of the new Renoir Landscape exhibition with a tour by curator! The paintings were beautiful and we were so ( Read more... )
