As I write this, I’m sitting at my studio desk in Knowlton, waiting for our early morning trip to the airport, and then off to London. I’m both excited, tired, and nervous as I mentally go through the packing list and hope that I have everything I need. Even though I have been before, it will still be quite an experience, and I will be seeing plenty of new things while I’m there. It has been a busy past few weeks, with all my time being dominated by a midterm, the career fair, a studio project, and a graphics assignment. As much as I would like to just hang out and do nothing for spring break, I am grateful that I have the opportunity to go on this trip.
In the last few hours before our journey starts, the things I am most looking forward to are seeing some of the sights like St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Tate Modern, and Kew Gardens. I’m also excited to explore on my own on our free day, as I have been planning that for a while too. Getting to know my classmates more and spending time with them is also something I look forward to. The days will be busy and tiring, but I’m sure it will be one of the best experiences I have during college.
