Greetings from London, my lovely friends!

I’m pleased to announce I will be blogging especially for you all the way from London for the whole semester. I’m still in denial, so bear with me. I’ve been here for about three weeks now and I still cannot believe I am here. Each day that goes by I am just in awe of my surroundings as I walk the streets of London. It’s such a charismatic city, and my experiences have surpassed any of the expectations I had before coming to London.

I believe one of the reasons why I still can’t grasp the reality that I’m in  London is because of how difficult it was for me to be here. I applied not expecting much because I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford it, but after all of my struggles to find funds for my trip it paid off. My journey here has had its highs and lows. It was like a roller coaster so that when I was high at the top it was because my future in London was promising, but when it was low it was because my time here would never happen.

Now that I’m here, I’ve taken nothing for granted. And I feel like I observe everything around me and truly appreciate everything this city has to offer. I’m so excited to bring you all coverage with my adventures in London!
