The American Side of the Pond- Taylor King

Hidey Ho!

I'm Taylor King, and I am a Marketing major from good ol' Monterey, Tennessee! Living in London is something I have talked of since I was small but dreamed of since I was smaller. There's just something about the aura of every house having a chimney, accents being foreign, buses having two levels, and phone booths being quite photogenic. I'm excited because London will be an adventure with some pretty cool catz, but I'm nervous because home won't be an hour and a half drive west. My family has reassured me by practicing their Skype abilities, and my friends have promised a six hour time difference won't get us down. There's nothing to worry about; I'm sure the scariest part will be the take off. I'll let you know!

Still in TN - Troy Galyon

Hey there! I'm Troy and boy am I excited to be going to London in just a little over a week. It's gonna be a blast. I am majoring in supply chain management. I have high hopes for London. It's gonna be the best thing ever. I'm looking forward to the awesome internship with Parliament and of course the weekend trips to tons of different countries around Europe! Only a few more days until we are all there and I'll be back with the fam in London.
