Today is our last day together and it’s simply devastating. I woke up on this fateful morning at 7:30 and looked at the dress I had pulled out the night before that could only be fit for our Mamma Mia show tonight. Begrudgingly I pulled myself out of bed when my alarm went off and…

 Today we visited nursing homes, 2 groups visiting two branches of the same company’s home. We had to wake up super early and get ready super fast. I woke up at 6:30 and made it downstairs for breakfast at 6:50. Then I sleepily made my way through breakfast and stumbled down to the ground floor…

    Today we woke up early to catch our bus to Blenheim Palace and Oxford! We quickly ate breakfast and loaded the elevators up to meet down on the ground floor at 8:50. Then we all loaded up the bus and settled in for our two hour drive to our first stop, the palace. On the…

I’m super excited for today because I’m excited to see how the English equivalent of a high school works and how they’re preparing for their A Levels that…

Today we went to Birmingham City University! We walked over this morning at around 8:30 and enjoyed some beautiful weather while on our way. It was a quick 15 minute walk from our hotel, and we arrived as a group right after breakfast.  As soon as we arrived to the school we were greeted by…

Today we went to Stratford-Upon-Avon, a small town known for its rich history. The town is known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare and boast a large tourist attraction that surrounds him, his life, and his 39 plays.                     We started the day by waking up early and grabbing breakfast at the hotel at around…

Everywhere you look there is a pub, dance club, university building, or something offered to the public to increase the quality of daily life. We walked around the city a little later in the afternoon/night and it’s…
