I couldn’t be more excited to finally be back in London. After spending the duration of the semester learning about the city and culture and sketching in class, it’s time for study abroad! We have all been taught well throughout the course of the semester and we should all know the map of London like the back of our hand and finally get to put our skills to the test. It is time to venture out into this global hub of culture ready to take the entire time in stride.
While I may be excited about having the opportunity to leave the country, I am also incredibly nervous to do so. Although I know in the back of my mind that everything is going to go smoothly on the trip, there is still the lingering threat of the corona virus. Thankfully OIA has prepared us well and I feel as though it will not hinder our London experience.
I am hoping that every student is as excited to experience something new as I did the first time in 2018. It is truly touching that I get to share my last college spring break with a group of all new friends with whom I can share and create lasting memories.
