As my time here in London has increased I have loved it more and more. The people, the food, the entertainment, and everything in between never gets old and there is constantly something new and exciting happening! The first week of school has been challenging and different than that of the US. We have learned the ropes of the grading system here which is completely different and also seems to be a little less effort, thankfully! Having one class a day is super nice and frees up most of the afternoon.

these are the World War II poppies surrounding the Tower of London. they are in remembrance of the lives that were lost- they are ceramic and beautiful. I will post a picture in November when the exhibit is complete!

Buckingham Palace is enormous and gorgeous. My favorite part was walking through (we couldn't take pictures) but the details and the amount of rooms is ridiculous!
