First week in London! - Julia

Hi Everyone,

My name is Julia Ganns and I am from Germany (surprise!). I moved to Tennessee to go to UT around 1 1/2 years ago from my hometown Essen, Germany. While the South could not be more different from where I grew up,  I love UT and everything that comes with it.

GLS has been an amazing experience for me so far and I would not want to miss a single day I have spent being part of it. I remember sitting at the Info session for GLS and thinking how cool it would be to go to London with the program. I can't believe we have already been in London for more than a week now - Time is flying by!!!

Now a little bit more about London and my experience here so far: My flat, flat 14, likes to sing, watch videos of pugs and (except for me) avoids cooking like no other. Adam, Ross, Taylor, LB, Hannah, Maggie and I enjoy living in the old stables outside, while everyone else is residing in the old mansion across the courtyard.

This first week I have excelled in making a fool of myself every chance I get, while struggling through our first week of Statistics. Hopefully things will turn around for me soon. Although it is rough having a month of classes within 3 days and working on homework until late at night, having 3 day weekends is totally worth it. This weekend we celebrated Sams birthday and went to Borough and Camden market. I can't wait for all of the adventures that are yet to come.

xoxo German Girl
