Exactly a week ago, I returned home (enough) to England after 5 and a half weeks of traveling continental Europe. As if having two classes a term wasn't enough of a treat, my study abroad university indulged us with a 6-week spring break! My friend and I traveled extensively through Spain, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic.

About this time last year, I decided I wanted to try my luck once again by applying to my college's study abroad program. As if I wasn't 'studying abroad' enough by attending Wellesley College in Massachusetts, I thought that the idea of being able to pick up my things and live (and study, rrrright) in a different place for a semester would definitely be a unique experience that I would never have the opportunity to do after my college years. So as this 5 and upper's luck would have it, I was accepted to this said study abroad program, and am now in Oxford University in Oxford, England.
