Hello internet and welcome to my blog!!!
In case you didn't read my profile/don't want to read it/are too lazy to read it here's a bit about what it's like to be me, Emily: I'm currently studying international affairs and journalism at the University of New Hampshire and someday hope to write stories and books about all my travels. I'm a huge geek who loves everything from Harry Potter to Doctor Who to Lord of the Rings, the list goes on (I'll spare you all the geeky details). I also lovelovelove skiing, reading and drinking (good) tea and coffee with friends! This summer I'll be studying Shakespeare and Travel Writing in Cambridge, England for six weeks at the College of Gonville and Caius. Classes only run Monday-Thursday so I'll have lots of time to go exploring!
I've been planning this trip since November so I've been building up to today for about 7 months, yet for whatever reason my trip still feels a bit surreal, I think it's probably because I haven't had much time to think about it. I've been at my Grandmother's beach house for the past couple weeks watching my two rambunctious 9 and 10 year old cousins and enjoying the sun and sand so I really haven't had much time to do any packing, which means I'm doing it all today. This means procrastination and spontaneous bouts of excitement and nervousness. My room is currently a disaster zone of clothes and various other travel items but while I should be packing I'm choosing to blog and watch old seasons of Doctor Who on netflix (my flight's not until 9pm so I've got some time, right?). Despite my being so disheveled, I really couldn't be more excited for this summer- I can't wait to meet lots of new people, see and try new things, do stupid things, do crazy things and just come home with lots of new stories and memories. I'll be using this blog throughout the summer to keep track of all my experiences, post all my pictures and add clips of my writing. So folks, get ready for a whirlwind adventure of classes, traveling, tea, books, new friends, tea, exploring and more tea! Thanks for reading and enjoy!
