Surviving the coldSo we made it through our first couple of weeks of actual classes.
Some key takeaways from these two weeks have been the weather and the coursework. So, the weather has been consistently cold. As I've only ever lived in Hawai'i up till this point, this has been a very new experience. At first it wasn't too bad, but after experiencing even lower temperatures, windy days, and even rainy days, it has been rough. My advice is to layer on your clothing (scarves work wonders) and bring an umbrella. As for classes, everything has been much different. Each class only occupies one day throughout a week, but this is broken down between a 1 hour lecture and a 2 hour seminar (interactive portion). The assignments are sparse and there aren't any exams like at home. Your entire grade typically depends on one or two assignments due at the end of the semester. It is a strange concept, but not the worst thing to experience. Let's get into the non-curricular portion now. There's a lot to cover, so I'll just list some places and things that I found to be the highlights of my experience. We went on a boat tour on the river Thames, passing under some beautiful bridges with plenty of opportunity for pictures. We've visited various museums and historic sights including the British Museum and Westminster Abbey. We've tried various kinds of foods including fish n' chips and Nando's. I'd highly recommend checking out all of things if you ever get a chance to!
