Here I sit, about 5000 miles from home; in London, England. My head is hurting from allergies that came from the rapid shift in climate, and my mind is wandering because of my lack of sleep (the in-flight movie/TV selection did not do much to help this predicament).

Our plane was very nice and very big, (a 777!) but the food was terrible (I never thought I would miss college food), so I’m very grateful for my small cache of snacks which have sustained me thus far (a big thank you to the makers of Clif Bars; for making them so delicious!).

We are chilling in the middle of a 9 hour layover … We took the Tube to Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Trafalgar Square, I will always remember this day!

As always, I’m excited for what the next days and weeks hold, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

Till Next Time!
