Hello and Welcome!

Since arriving in London just days ago, I've been taken aback by my experiences here. So far, I've toured my neighborhood of South Kensington, taken a bus around the city to see Big Ben and other landmarks and I've started classes. There is much to do and see in the next three and a half months. I plan to explore this country, not only its physical features but also its culture(s) and its position in the world. How do Brits see the 21st Century? What role do media and political institutions play within these perspectives? How can I use my experiences to benefit my academic and career goals? These are big questions and I'm certainly glad I have a semester to find some answers. Keep an eye on this blog for more posts soon!
