As summer comes to an end, so England Semester looms over my head. Annoying all-student emails have returned, most of which I must ignore because I will be abroad.
I'll admit it: I'm going to miss being on campus. I'm going to miss the dorm life, the movie nights, the TV marathons. I'm going to miss my friends who are staying. Not to mention missing Chelsea and Molly's 21st birthday shenanigans.
For the next two weeks I'll be packing, messing with international travel stuff, and communicating with my travel abroad team. I'll be blogging about my travel as often as I can, depending on when the Internet will be available. I received an email two days ago from Chris that we're not really gonna have Internet when we're chilling with the monks in Northern Ireland for three weeks. Oh, the humanity!
Given that there are two weeks left after this week for preparing, perhaps I should introduce the players of the game (aside from moi):
Cheri: Professor of English literature and Gender studies. She is the leader of this expedition. I had her once before for British Literature After 1700. She's a closet Doctor Who fan. Will be my Dickens, Literary Pilgrimage and Victorian Lit prof.
Chris: Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, hubby of Cheri. I discovered quite by accident that he's a fan of HETALIA. OF ALL THINGS. He thinks it's a clever show that accurately portrays modern European relations. He's in charge of Literary Pilgrimage as well as British/Irish Culture and Politics. I actually don't know him as well as Cheri, but he seems pretty chill.
Brittany: is my travel buddy (and was my roommate last year). A strange combo of English/Biology double major.
THERE ARE MANY OTHERS: As I get to know people I'll introduce them along the way. We're a pretty small group of people (albeit with a TON of estrogen), and I'm sure we'll all know each other by the first two weeks.
I need to practice writing on this blogger. I was too lazy to figure out how wordpress works, but this will suffice. Pictures will be up once we start doing stuff in Scotland.
