Oxford is pretty neat.

Obviously, that’s an understatement, but I can’t even figure out how to describe the city.  It’s gorgeous.  There’s old, beautiful buildings everywhere and it’s almost like walking through the past.  We were only there for the day, but we used it to throughly soak up the city.

I promise that I’m actually going to class while I’m in England.  It might seem like I’m just having the time of my life (which I am), but I’m also going to school while I’m here.

One of the greatest parts about studying abroad in Worcester is that we only go to school three days a week.  On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, we have normal class and on Wednesdays, we take field trips.  This leaves Friday, Saturday and Sunday for us to do whatever we want, whether that be exploring Worcester or traveling to different parts of Europe.  It’s the best.

A non-complete list of nouns Drew Farrington has fell/tripped on while in England

This is a list of quotes from some of my favorite people -- the people who lived in Flat 4 in Worcester, England during our study abroad trip in the summer of 2012.

We spent most of the day exploring the two campuses where we’ll be attending class.  While our flats are right next to one side, the other campus is about a fifteen minute walk away, across a bridge and through an adorable neighborhood where all the doors are bright colors.  I love this.

I now live in a different country.

For the next two months, my home is Worcester, England, where I’m studying abroad and working with a team of Ball State student journalists to cover the London Olympics.  We’ve been preparing for this trip for over a year and I can’t believe we’re actually here.  Already, I am in love with everything about England — from the accents to the scenery to the fact that tea is served at EVERY meal.  It is perfect.
